HOCD false attraction is getting bad

Hello, so my biggest problem and possibly the biggest gate from me escaping Hocd is well, false attraction. So the feelings and thoughts I get get 100 percent of the time aren't sexually(don't get groinal responses, never in my life and still to this day don't want to have sex with dudes or see them naked. Nor romantical thoughts really(il get images but I kind of identify it as,"if I liked them, I would keep it going, like I romanticize about women before hocd") but the physical feeling is what's messing me up. its like now 60 percent of dudes I see attractive now, and I dont want to be attracted to them. it just feels now like physical attraction or emotional attraction, i keep getting the urge to look at them and i feel like idk how to explain like tense or some feeling that i cant explain maybe? and what sucks is when I try to say,"its Just HOCD, you never felt like this," and now i get doubts or it feels like i did get these thoughts. I'm just asking if this is just hocd again because it feels very real, and what sucks is Ido if I have distress or anxiety feeling anymore

This right here exactly what I’m feeling. As well as over analyzing my past, it sucks. I’m hard headed always trying to out think this but I can’t. I’m numb, like seriously numb. I know it’s ocd but to a point to so sad because it felt my whole life changed I’m not even panicking anymore like feeling it’s not even ocd. It’s the feeling of, now I feel just bad for myself. Don’t even get dressed to look nice anymore, even tho there’s more to life then to worry about this. Which yes I understand, but part of life for me is to love and eventually find a person. Like the feeling of impressing a female is what drove me in the things I do. I’m grateful for my family, friends, to wake up everyday. But my fear of being gay is just right there ruining everything for me. I don’t have no drive to live because I don’t want my fear to come true and feels like everyday is a weird movie of just getting threw it. Just sad and depressed. I pray we get threw this

Same,too much sensitivity to same gender (noticing more a lot more the before) feeling like I want it..less attraction to girls,over analyzing past and trying to prove myself that I’m hey which is ridiculous every past experience with girls and dates is meaningless now then thinking of a girl and start feeling extreme stress and shame because in my head straight people don’t have this thoughts but straight people with hocd have it but my brain keep telling me I’m hiding something you are lying yourself and etc..it’s just exhausting I can’t recognize myself I forgot who I was…sorry for the English

hey there, i hear you loud and clear about this false attraction struggle you're grappling with in hocd. it sounds really frustrating and confusing, especially when you're encountering these unexpected reactions to men. keep in mind, you're not alone in this. 💪🙂 by the way, have you heard of "unstuck", an ai tool tailored specifically for ocd? it's over at unstuckmyocd.com/try, i found it super helpful myself the past thirty days. someone here actually told me about it - wish i had stumbled upon it sooner!

So my HOCD has been pretty rough the last couple weeks. Have others that suffer from this type of OCD ever see an attractive person of the same sex and look internally for “feelings” of attraction? I’m beyond the “groinal response phase” now, and now its look for feelings of attraction. My mind is going back and forth between “this is a real feeling you are denying” or “this is just OCD creating false feelings”. Would love to hear if others have experienced it and if so, how they’ve coped with it.

False attraction for women with so-ocd

Hello all. I am a woman who struggles with what i assume to be hocd and have struggled with it for 3 years now. I have had false attraction on and off and have been able to let them go because i realized the anxiety behind them. Now however, i have a fear that i am secretly attracted to people of the same sex who are masculine presenting or one day i am going to feel attracted to and actuallydevelop feelings for one. Are there women that feel this way ?? Thank you advance.

Extreme HOCD, need Advice

Up until who knows when, i was always straight and showed no signs of being gay, and this is what i know for sure. I do not remember what its like being attracted to girls anymore, it has been so long, i do not know what i want at this point. I do not know what is hocd or what isnt anymore, i feel like i have been so worried about being gay for so long that i dont even feel the symptoms of hocd anymore. People say “if you feel like being gay ruins your image” or “if you get anxiety when thinking gay thought or feeling gay feelings, then you are not gay and that is false attraction” but i dont feel anxiety anymore with those, i feel anxiety when thinking about being in relationships with women now, idrk if it is being gay that does that or being hurt by past relationships so much that it does. I cant tell what feeling is what or anything. I know i was feeling what people say are signs of being straight at some point but i do not anymore. The feeling of being gay and gay feelings or thoughts are overtaking me and its like i am gay at this point but i just dont want to be and i dont know why i dont want to be anymore. I just need advice and i dont know what to do.
