Yes, I’ve monitored myself though, when I am not anxious or worrying, my mind some how magically doesn’t say these things. It’s funny lol

Don’t worry about it, happened when this all first started to me. I started not caring, slowly dissipated.

@Anonymous I always try but sometimes it seems real because sometimes it does it to like handsome dudes but I’m not sexually attracted to them there just handsome. If my ocd called them handsome instead I wouldn’t care

@Lit555 Hey bro. I don’t rlly deal with HoCD THAT MUCH anymore but just trust me it actually does get better. I never believed that shit when people said it but it does. I don’t wanna give u reassurance which technically this is but I needed to hear it from time to time. I’m only 19 so keep going!!

@Anonymous Thank you man, my OCD has gotten so bad that it literally feels like I have a new brain in my head and I've lost the old one. My OCD is really bad.

@Lit555 Just don’t say ur not so so. Just accept that the thoughts are there and don’t pay attention to them. Easier said than done… get a hobby like working out which I do or travel idk hang with friends.

@Anonymous You're right, I'll move out and overcome my OCD and I think that way I'll have a sense of reality, so my brain will reset and I'll come back, I think that's why it affects me so much because there's no reality. I feel like I'm not among people, I simply don't feel the world, the reality, and that's definitely a big reason why it's like this in my head and how it's affecting me.

Appreciate it bro, nothing for nothing, this literally started when I started planning for my wedding etc, in your case going to college.. life changing things create stress

It's like you know you've located a trigger and you know you don't want to think something like that, symptomatically the mind says “oh, don't you want to think something uncomfortable? We're going to send this to you and see how it goes."

I did an exposure yesterday. I was thinking that my sister-in-law has nice looking lips. And I told her that even though it caused me anxiety. And what happened: nothing bad. She thanked me and next we were thinking how to make them look even better with lipstick. Like girls use to talk abt make-ups and beauty.

Answer to your mind: Oh yes, that is an interesting thought. He is hot. Maybe I like him. Maybe not. It takes the power off of your OCD.

Hocd is literally a clown in my head.
Like I can’t think straight. This is making me doubt everything I’ve thought about myself and even makes me feel like I like the thoughts when I know I don’t. Like I would be less anxious at a time while I still have the thoughts and my mind would go “oh so you like it you must be gay” or the other one where I’m not anxious and I think of my attraction for girls that I’ve had my whole life and my mind goes “see now you’re not into them you’re gay” like it’s so stupid but so effective. I clearly remember being into girls my whole life but my mind is making me believe that all these attractions and feelings for women were all fake or “a thing of the past”. But I can still get aroused by women but I have this weird anxiety going on which brings these sensations/feelings and it’s so weird. Today I’ve spent my whole day thinking about it like I’ve been doing for 5 months now. I know that this aint normal but my mind just won’t let me live in peace. I never cared about my sexuality cuz I simply liked women my whole life but now my sexuality is a fundamental philosophy. I hate this.

Heterosexual OCD
I wanted to voice that homosexuals can get HOCD too. I remember when i was younger and knew i was gay i still got HOCD one time when watching The Office. I thought Pam was so pretty and then started doubting my whole identity because what if i am straight? Oh god, what a terror if i was heterosexual. But anyway, thought that maybe this would help heteros with HOCD by knowing that this is a universal symptom across OCD sufferers of all sexual orientations. A big problem is calling this subtype “Homosexual OCD,” because its not. It has nothing to do with being homo or hetero or bi or anything. Its just OCD being a bully. I think labelling subtypes is an issue altogether, as it can unconsciously make people feel like its not just OCD. But it is. Does this make any sense? What are yall’s thoughts on this? Or is this just my OCD talking? (Im not seeking reassurance just genuinely find this interesting) TLDR; each time we “qualify” OCD with a subtype, we reinforce that the subtype is part of the issue. In reality, OCD is just a broken loop in our brains, and thoughts are just thoughts. And Pam Beesly is a hottie.
