HOCD making my life miserable
Today as soon as I opened my eyes this morning, my mind was being hammered with uncontrollable images and scenes of same-sex friends and relatives performing sexual acts on me and me doing it on them. Like, I couldn't even sleep afterwards because these thoughts kept me awake. My body started reacting to them, making me feel viscerally that I would enjoy those experiences. I felt like I wanted to have sex with every same-sex person I laid my eyes upon the entire day. On the streets, on TV, you name it... Jesus freaking Christ, why??????? This is so irritating! My OCD has gone meta and it feels incredibly hard to see through all this BS. It's gotten to a point where I feel extremely jealous of people who don't have to put up with this nonsense that I've been dealing with for 12 freaking years since I was 14. I see couples on the street, all my siblings are married and have kids. In fact, my brother got married last week and my sister is expecting another baby. I guess I should be happy for them and deep down I am, but when will I get to experience these things without OCD interfering? Most of the people around the world are straight, it's all natural to them and they don't have to to put up with this mental tonture to make a case for their heterosexuality, but I do? 12 years with HOCD and these thoughts, images and urges are starting to feel ego-syntonic to me now. I'm so done.
