Has anyone with HOCD started dating again. Like I don’t want to be cooped up in here forever but at the same time, due to the nature of these thoughts, I feel kinda....guilty?

You know I’m reading this right?

Is one the hardest thing to talk to the opposite sex and be flooded with thoughts and guilt is awful. But me and therapist talk about being hetero confident and try anyway. You build up your confidence as progress with the therapy

Bro is not a big deal, I hope you can pass this and support each other. I really thought you would see the similarities than anything, but I will be more careful from now on.

No problem, I shouldn’t have been so harsh on you and less rash. I apologize for that.

Esosa Hopefully you get out there, face your fears and live the life you want. Is hard and weird at the beginning but it gets better. Stick with the ERP land live a value driven life.

Esosa, I have HOCD and it will come back every now and then but I have never stopped dating and am currently in a relationship now. So yes it is possible

Thank you @uzro and logansy

Yeah because at this point, I’m tired of living my life in fear, but now I’m fearing fear ?

At this point, I’m like f... it I might be gay or bi, but I’m really sexually aroused by a girl I saw in this moment right

I get where you coming from and I made a similar question yesterday, and someone brush me off as trying to make the app as dating app and I was like ??‍♂️??‍♂️??‍♂️. And I had to explain myself to great length to make myself understood.

I said: “I have hocd and I wonder what it would be like to date a female hocd or just talk. Have anybody experienced this or is up to the challenge”

@uzro

Here’s the difference between you and Esosa, she’s NOT asking for people to date on this app. YOU were.

Oh and by the way, why did you delete that post if it wasn’t wrong?

I hoped you would came out, and see that I’m not the only one ??‍♂️??‍♂️??‍♂️. no the post is not deleted you can go anytime. Plus not in any sense I said hey girls with hocd come and date me ??‍♂️??‍♂️. I made a hypothesis/challenge not a proposal , given that I have several people with the same experiences as me but yeah you are totally right totally hitting on them ??‍♂️??‍♂️.

You basically were from what I understand, and since your a butthurt coward and can’t say that to my face instead you say it to other people like a little child. What’s your problem??

I thought I made myself clear yesterday, but sorry for the confusion. Relationships ocd and hocd kinda go hand in hand, when it comes down to dating, if this is not you I’m happy for you and I hope you never get this awful feeling that you get while you are in a relationship.

You did, but now I’m starting to question it since your talking behind my back like a coward. There is a clear distinction from you and her. And I think you can see it. But anyways I’ve had enough of you.

Bro go and read the post again, I haven’t deleted it. Plus i thought this would open it up the idea that this is very common, with hocd. But take it as you please hope the best for you.

I don’t see it, why don’t I see it then? I respected you at first, but you’ve lost it by talking behind my back. I thought we had come to a mutual standstill but that’s not what I gathered by what you said to Esosa.

Thank you for calling me a coward. Is great exposure for me ???.

I’m glad.

Please! Arguing with each other won’t get either of you ANYWHERE.

I agree esosa. I hope cyka would forgive me for not making my point clear and being misunderstood.

I would also agree with Esosa. No worries, but I don’t want to argue again. We all have HOCD so we fight the same thing together if we look at it that way.

Cool ???. I apologize for ruining esosa post.

I apologize to Esosa for that as well.

I accept both of your apologies
