Right now, I feel convinced about the thoughts. I felt aroused about thinking of same sex scenarios. I feel sick and just lost. I just read something on quora , and it made me just so confused. I really hate this, I’m so sad. I don’t want to think about my sexuality 24/7.

@esosa !!!! Tik tok triggers me so much! There’s triggers everywhere because man, this generation is so accepting that everyone is free to be gay/bi/lesbian and any other sexuality.

She doubted it, but maybe in another way than we do it. We analyze it, we think about it constantly, we get triggered by nearly everything sexual and we don’t like the thought. It’s intrusive with HOCD.

@advice It’s sad to hear that, but I think if you have HOCD it’s normal to have days like these. I hope you will get better soon. Do yourself a favour and AVOID forums like „quora“. Believe me, since 2 weeks I avoided every forum (expect this) because it drove me crazy! Especially quora and reddit! As soon as I quit searching for answers on forums like these, I started feeling better and I could handle my uncertainty MUCH better! On forums like these sometimes there are people who will generalize their experience on all other people. Especially people without (!) HOCD/OCD. It’s good to ask for help or to share feelings on forums like this app because we can understand each other better as we all suffer from the SAME issue, but other pages will drive you crazy and male you sick as a HOCD-sufferer. There will come better days, believe me! ❤️✨ sending my best wishes to you

Thank you, have you ever felt this way? Like convinced and aroused ?

Yes, a hundred times! Like I can’t tell you how often I felt this way. Same sex scenarios can also turn straight people on, there are plenty of girls which also have sex with the same sex but don’t are homosexual or love the same sex in a romantic way. So many sexual things can arouse humans. And I felt so often convinced. I had like thousand moments where I said to myself „Accept it. You‘re lesbian“ but after that, the relief didn’t come. The thoughts started again. And this is because of your mental illness: HOCD. Your thoughts are your symptoms, nothing else.

I was on tik tok today (I know, sue me) and there was this one where this girl who is bi said that she didn’t come out till 17 because she shoved the possibility of liking women so far down, that she doubted it. Like the silly person I am, I immediately started analyzing my past. I also feel guilty for not liking girls? Like I’m supposed to because I’ve questioned it but I don’t so it’s like I’m wrong?? If that makes sense.

@advice? As it should be. Coming from a Christian household despite being reluctant to speak up on it, it never made sense to me of how people within the LGBT community are treated. But because of that (which isn’t anyone’s fault) it makes it more confusing as to whether we’re truly suffering or preventing ourselves from living the lives that we “want” or should have.

@MentalHelp that makes so much sense!

And: she doubted that she is gay, we doubt that we are straight! I think it’s not the same...

I, like so many others, have had ocd for most of my life. I have had many themes throughout my life. I am a mom and have had harm and pocd as well. For me those have been the most difficult and most painful themes. I have seen many people post on this app and they have had some pretty horrible and disturbing intrusive thoughts or false memories and real events ect. much worse than mine and I have never judged anyone because I know how bad ocd and intrusive thoughts can get. I had someone comment on a post I made recently asking me if I even have ocd insinuating it’s not ocd and i’m a actually just a pedo. That upset me so much because anyone who has experienced pocd knows how horrific and disturbing the intrusive thoughts can get and how opposite of who we really are ocd is. Our ocd already makes us doubt ourselves so to have a fellow sufferer of ocd say something like that can be so damaging. So many people are afraid to seek help or post on apps like this out of fear of being judged so we have to be mindful of what we comment. This person, after reading their bio has never experienced that theme and so they have no idea what it’s like or how bad it can get. I am writing this post because I think we need to be more understanding of those who suffer with themes we haven’t and not be judgmental especially if we don’t know them or their ocd story and what they have been through. I beat my ocd and for years I was ocd free until a recent stressful situation in my life and it came back and has been relentless and worse than ever before. I have had so many kind people give me great support on this app and I give support as much as I can when I see posts of others going through similar things as me. Be kind and think before you comment.

I was going to ask for advice and vent after i just had an episode but reading through everyones post on here. I can see that everyone is collectively struggling at the moment and i think we need to utilize this community for more than just sharing our sadness. Nothing is wrong with venting of course but i feel like there isnt enough positive energy here to encourage everyone to keep going. I know asking for reassure feels like a must sometimes and trust me everyone has asked for it, it was a heavy compulsion of mine. But reassure is not what you need. It will make it worse everyone please trust me. Instead of letting out mind win we must support each other, understand our struggles but also share out wins. I feel like we dont use this community enough for finding friendship among us or spreading enough happiness. OCD Is not a happy disorder but seeing that everyone here is just here either hating on someone, people being too afraid to ask for help or no one reading peoples post. This place isnt just for our negative thoughts and events to fester we need to support each other here too! Ask for help, comment on peoples post with love everyone is struggling. In this community we should help pull each other out from dark places not let them stay there. I hope everyone who is going through it right has a better night/day/afternoon. You’re loved deeply your not a monster, your not evil, your not dirty, your not a heretic your Nothing your thoughts tell you are. Peace to you🤍🤍🤍🤍

Sorry long post. Anyone feel like now they’re just in extreme denial. Like when I was little I noticed guys more than girls in movies and was more drawn to them. I remember changing my mindset to switch that. 98%of my life has been straight until recently. I felt drawn to some guys but never thought of it sexually. Always had girl crushes dreams and porn. Now I watch porn and I feel like straight takes longer and then I go and watch gay porn and feel nothing until I tell myself it’s two attractive dudes and love is love and imagine physical sensations and then it hits like suddenly. Like I have to convince myself it’s alright. Then when I try again I can do all that but feel nothing and then straight porn works. Idk if it’s just getting a fix or the first time works with anything or what but it’s confusing. On top of that I’ve felt girl relationships including my wife maybe miss something and a guy maybe matches that feeling that but then I feel like I’d be missing something without a girl or my wife. Idk I’ve had some rough times in life with male figures in my life but idk. I feel like I have to convince myself more and more that I’m straight even more than the first time I dealt with this. Can someone relate? Please
