Me too, it feels like I want to do these things. I think about hocd everyday. I think the hardest part is that this is about out sexuality. It’s something we can “know” or “figure out” so we have our minds set on that.

Here is what WORKED for me: -Think of ur mind as a second person, as person who always with u, its not u but another person. -This way u know that ur mind is seperate from u. -Now just observe all the thoughts & emotions thrown at u by ur mind(the second person). -Do not fight or react, only observe, acknowledge and let the thoughts stay. -Now you can see that this person(ur mind) is mostly talking rubbish. - Then u can process the useful thoughts & ignore the useless thoughts.

Haha no , My parents don't really believe in mental illness all that much. They think I'm fine , that I'm just being "paranoid" or "anxious"

Really? That is not good? Mental illness is a real thing. We all here are experiencing it and so are many people out there. Here is a youtube video of Howie Mandel's battle with OCD https://youtu.be/dSZNnz9SM4g This is a real condition. Here is another video, https://youtu.be/VqujhmxwsFQ with general info on OCD. Check out more of the creator's channel, as there is a bunch of great info on OCD and overcoming it. Just type OCD into YouTube and a ton of videos will pop up, including many profound TedTalks videos.

Whenever anyone starts to feel like their thoughts are less triggering or they feel a moment of happiness/ relief OCD tells you that you want the thoughts back or you actually like having the thoughts and maybe thats just the person I really am? I feel like im going insane😢

I feel like I’ve lost who I am , even since my depression and ocd started. I don’t even know what I like anymore:(( I doubt everything I think and it’s so draining because I just want to feel like my old self again😭 I feel like I have no motivation to get better which is bothering me so much because I want too but something is holding me back from doing what I need to do :/ with all my thoughts and doubts , I feel like I can’t trust myself . I don’t know if I’m the only one that feels this much pain
