i think the noticing guys thing is just a pattern you’ve got yourself stuck in. or the anxiety probably causing your brain to think of these images and maybe for your body to feel things out of alignment for you. that really doesn’t mean you are attracted to them, and false attraction is real, too. of course, you can find someone attractive and not *be* attracted to them. i’ve had this too with girls, but i honestly don’t really care if i’m bi so it doesn’t bother me like that. maybe tell your brain you don’t care if you’re bi or not. try to convince the OCD it doesn’t matter either way, it’ll stop nagging at you

@deadmeat Thank you... the "false attraction is real" bit triggered me a little... but im trying my best... im getting triggered seeing stuff about repressed sexuality and it makes me gag just thinking about it...

so sorry! i didn’t mean for it to trigger you, i was just saying you aren’t actually attracted to guys, it’s just ocd brain. if it makes you gag thinking about it, it’s really not you. i have really bad sexual ocd and i try to check myself a lot bc of it. but afterwards i feel repulsed. i know we’re still strangers but i PROMISE you aren’t alone at all in how you feel, and you WILL move on from this and be able to manage everything better

HOCD question
Anyone else with HOCD get thoughts of like "people in denial try to distract themselves" or anything along those lines when just trying to move on from the thoughts. Having a pretty bad episode this morning at least anxiety wise.

Question
So with my theme of ocd, ( hocd ) I get persistent intrusive images, and thoughts. It’s not like one or two a day. Like if I’m out for the whole day they’re constant. I feel I can’t even look at a girl now without her intrusive thoughts about her or about me fancying her and even sexual intrusive thoughts.. It’s awful. It’s everywhere I look. Is this common with ocd with any themes? Like is it constant for you guys too?

hocd
straight girl suffering from hocd, okay so when i was younger i looked at like a girl corn star insta for like 2 weeks and like did get aroused by it, didn’t think much of it still fancied boys, girls were like ew no to me, but its triggering my hocd so badly, like is it normal that i could look at a sexy pic of a girl n get aroused by it, but like a shirtless pic of a boy i wouldn’t, however i have insane attraction to men irl, i love my boyfriend, i love the idea of being with a man and hate the idea of being with a woman, this really freaking me out!
