The difference between struggling to accept the fact that he was gay was says that he was probably thinking about him being gay and liking men for his entire life, as gay people are born gay, they don't turn that way. People with HOCD on the other hand, don't typically question this since forever, as obssessions often do, they come on randomly, and they might go away randomly as well. I would advise you to not go into those forums and searching online, as it is a compulsion and its setting you back
Number one thing not to do is search on Google. If you are going to be doing any research go to safe places online, there is a blog on tumblr called pure-o-Soft, I really recommend it, you can send asks about anything you're feeling and they send you trustworthy articles on OCD Do Not check groinal response, think about it, if you fixate on concentrating on any part of your body you will feel something, so don't do it. Do not try and check whether or not you find men attractive, as you will get more obssessed about it and start with the vicious circle again
Well then he Most likely was one of those people that think OCD not as a mental illness, and was struggling with accepting himself instead
But what if im like him
Im really very scared
But what's the different between those?
I don't know I was really scared so I just closed it and had a panic attack
I thought I would make friends with people suffering from hocd and talk to them personally but no one is even responding to me and I am doing all these research instead can anyone please help me?
I don't know
I know people that have had hocd on this app that turned out to be their fear or bisexual. And I am deeply scared. Or am I? It feels as if I am pansexual, with a preference for girls now. And it feels fucking real.
I’m really freaking out right now. I keep reading things. I keep getting scared and panicking myself. I’m sweating like crazy right now. Idk if I’m actually lesbian or it’s ocd. I keep reading things and people answer with there’s no such this as hocd and stuff. And how someone had ocd and thought they were bi but officially said they were gay. I’m so scared rn.
❗️I spend some time on this forum called „emptyclosets“ where gay people can come out and search for help. And it was a big, big mistake. When I searched for HOCD in this forum I found so much people there who don‘t believe that something like „HOCD“ exists and that our symptoms are the typical signs of denying. This hit me just so hard and triggered me so, so much. My biggest fear is that it isn’t actually HOCD.
