Ye I scratch my face or say NO or something, for you it’s probably not true because I’ve seen ur posts but I think for me there is a little truthness to it which makes it so much worse
If its hocd for me, then it's hocd for you too, we are in this one together
@Anonymous246 All of us are😓
Or if I get a thought or urge to kiss a guy next to me because of these intrusive thoughts, I jus scream
No literally
@Anonymo12 When the question is “but would you do it right now in this moment if it was on front of you” that’s the worst one
@Anonymous I don’t get this question for me it’s the “kiss him yk u want to” especially if we make eye contact. It’s rlly latched onto my bsf/brother. And then all these other things with calling myself straight feels discomfort, thinking sbt marrying a girl is discomfort even tho I’m straight, lose of sex drive and no erections add onto it. Making me think I’ll never please a girl sexually. Sayin it’s okay to be gay even tho I don’t wanna be. U can be gay. Stuff like that. Or if I’m in a group of guys it ll say “they all straight and ur gay” ocd seems so fake or somin whilst it is the realist mental illness
@Anonymo12 Look bro, ur trying so hard to like girls that u won’t like em. Ur trying so hard to not like guys it’s almost as if u actually like them. What do u GENUINELY have to lose with just sitting in the “uncomfortable-ness”? Ur ocd is already making u feel gay REGARDLESS. You need to let it go, let every thought come and just try to laugh at it when u can and when u can’t just say “ok sure” and move on. Maybe if we do this for a while it’ll get better, I don’t know, but I know other people with OCD says this works
@Anonymous Have u gotten any better? That’s what I’m trying now by saying maybe maybe not. I honestly jus want my old life back
@Anonymo12 I haven’t but it’s because I haven’t fully committed to it yet, when I do I probably will get better inshallah, but again don’t she me as an example I’m a mess in general, there have been loads of people with HOCD that say this trick worked for them
@Anonymous I’m Muslim too brother. We can talk more without reassurance.
@Anonymous How old r u brother ?
@Anonymo12 I’m 19
@Anonymous I’m Muslim also and I’m turning 18. We can talk abt soocd and how it is for the 2 of us. We can help eachother
@Anonymo12 It sucks bro, worst disease ever. But sometimes I have hope
@Anonymous Bro, I was helping myself so much today by saying maybe maybe not. And then an image came through which I didn’t react to and jus let it pass but it felt like I liked it and I wanted it to happen. I felt scared that I was going to spiral into attack again. I’m scared that image will be keep popping up. I’m scared now fully. May Allah swt make it easy for us. He’d never make us gay as it is forbidden
@Anonymous Brother, can we talk?
@Anonymo12 What’s up man, u seem to be struggling quite a bit
@Anonymous I was but alhamdulilah I’m feeling a bit better. Thank u for replying
@Anonymo12 U should not use this app bro, we can’t stop the thoughts but we CAN stop rumination, and this app will lead to nothing but rumination. And guess what FUELS these thoughts? … rumination, that’s literally the key. Watch “Ali greymond” Hocd videos on YouTube and keep ur head up 💪🏽 this is our test from Allah and our inner-jihad
@Anonymous Icl bro, now I’m jus saying maybe maybe not and then even sometimes I say uno wha yes I am😎😎😎. Sometimes it scares the fuck outta me but then others it jus goes away. This test is such a hard one but I have faith in my Rabb Allah swt
@Anonymo12 I relate to this so much I think I need to connect with my faith and help me
@Anonymous246 It’s the worst 😭. Todays jus been the worst for me. I think I need to get off nocd
@Anonymo12 It will get better
@Anonymous246 Inshallah
@Anonymo12 The reason why this app is here is to remind you that there are other people like us fighting our minds. I know it can factor alot to reassurance seeking but there are something on here that help but I do get what you mean I do the same😭😭
@Anonymous246 It’s scary cuz wha if someone has the same thoughts as me and they turn out to be gay. Ik it isn’t likely because it’s ocd for a reason. But I got that thought today and spiralled. I had a good last 2 days
@Anonymo12 Thing is a gay person wouldn't constantly telling their thoughts to stop
@Anonymous246 And if it was denial then the thoughts would go away
@Anonymo12 For someone with ocd the thoughts are CONSTANT and it is so annoying Once the anxiety goes it means your getting better but it becomes one hell of a fight
@Anonymous246 Yh like I wouldn’t be fighting them everyday even if the anxiety isn’t there. Rn it’s like it’s fully convinced me that I’m gay. Idk if that happens to anyone else but it’s jus a shit battle man
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.
Like I feel geroinals ALL DAY and it’s stuck… I think I’m bi. But this still drives me nuts.
I’ve been struggling with HOCD for years, and it started with an intrusive thought about being gay when I was younger. It came up at age 12 and ever since, I’ve been trapped in a cycle of doubt and anxiety. I obsess over whether or not I’m secretly gay, even though I don’t feel that way at all. What makes it worse is the fear that I might have internalized homophobia, and that’s why I’m having these obsessive thoughts. I worry that my anxiety is a sign that I’m repressing something or rejecting part of myself. It feels like my mind keeps repeating the same question—am I gay?—and no matter how much reassurance I get, the fear doesn’t go away. I used to pray for my family members, fearing that if I didn’t, something bad would happen to them, and now it feels like I have to control these thoughts, or something will go wrong. For a while, it was quieter, but a week ago, the thoughts spiraled up again, and now the anxiety feels overwhelming again. It’s exhausting, and I don’t know how to break free from this constant loop of doubt. Has anyone dealt with the fear of internalized homophobia alongside HOCD? How do you manage the anxiety that comes with it?
