Anyone feel like they wake up one day and don’t feel the same anymore?

Going from "incredibly horny all the time for women" to "not really feeling interested." It didn't happen all at one time, but it was scary to feel like my interest in women was fading away.

Sometimes, but that happens to most people. Emotions are fleeting.

@JohnKit More like a gradual erosion over a few weeks/months. That's one of the hardest parts about this theme.

@JohnKit Then you need to be more specific. We can’t read minds.

@Nica Hi Nica - i think I understand what he means but your insight would be great. I think he/she is asking can you just wake up one day and feel like you’ve lost feelings for someone. Or lost feelings for the sex you’ve been interested in your life before. I can certainly relate. I woke up one day and was convinced I didn’t feel enough for my then gf. That lead to a complete loss of libido overnight, and consequently to SOOCD.

It sucks, but I'm hopeful this treatment will help. Married for 22 years with 2 great kids.

@ConsciousPilot Yo when did you start having hocd did you have thought about same sex in sexual way? And did it stop after a while?

No it didn't start as anything sexual at all. It was just a thought, but it felt like an overwhelming "truth" that I hadn't realized until that moment. Over several months it started to become really uncomfortable to look at guys -- and then the groinal responses started. I completely flipped out.

I can also suggest very strongly to avoid porn. I'm not the least bit prudish, but I found out later that it can be VERY detrimental to recovery.

I'm just becoming aware of my porn addiction -- after 30 years lol! Last week I deleted all my porn bookmarks and am staying away from it. The stuff I got into was definitely getting worse and worse over time. Plus, it was 100% feeding my HOCD.

I've got an addictive personality, so part of it is knowing how you're wired. But honestly, when I realized it was contributing to my symptoms it just became something I had to do. You can definitely do it!! See if you can do 24 hours, then 48. It will get easier.
