I’m like this with a close girl friend of mine. I’m afraid I’ll fall in love with the same sex and she’s the closest same sex friend.

You have to be okay with having no answer to whether it’s true or not. That’s how you get rid of the fear forever , and also letting yourself be uncomfortable and anxious without constantly resisting against the anxiety. You’ll be good bro , relapses happen sadly and you have to be okay with the possibility of them happening. But the thing is , a relapse can only happen if you perceive your fear as something to be feared. You gotta change that mindset

I’m kinda going through this with some of my girlfriends. It could be HOCD, or it could also mean that you’re developing feelings (no reassurance here, just accepting uncertainty). But don’t spend time trying to either give yourself reasons why you like him, or why you don’t like him. Like the name popping up in your head hit home. Just say “hey x” or “so what” and keep it pushing (easier said than done). Although it doesn’t feel like it, the truth will reveal itself eventually. Until then, you’ll be okay either way.

I’ve had HOCD for nearly 2 years now. For the last few months I had a pretty good handle on it. But last week it totally came back!... Except this time I am totally convinced it is real same-sex attraction and desires. This is terrible... one minute I was straight and the next, bi or gay. Like I just turned magically right like that. I don’t know if it’s real or not, because how could it be? How can you turn from straight to something else? And the worst thing is, the attraction was toward my good friend, with whom I’m rooming next year at college for freshman year! Sorry if I seem obnoxious. I cannot live like this

Hi everyone! I just wanted to share about what’s happening to me recently and see if anyone has any advice on how to cope. I have HOCD and I’ve been fine for about a month, but now I’m worried that I may have a crush on my best friend. We were texting about stuff and then we were talking about body image because we’re both in theatre so “the look” is part of it. She then was saying how I have a sexy body and stuff like that (she’s straight) and it caused me to have a relapse. Now I’m worried that I have a crush on her and I really don’t want to lose her friendship. Does anyone have any advice on how to cope and get through this?

Anyone with HOCD ever get stuck on a friend and think you are in love with them? Then it might calm down but the thoughts are “you really like them” or something else that makes you think you are in love with them?
