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.

Don’t know if this is a part of ocd recovery or what but my hocd thoughts don’t give me anxiety anymore. Sometimes it feels like this tapped into my feelings. I don’t know how to explain it. Like when I get the thoughts now my mind is like “you’ve always been like that” but I feel no anxiety. I’m also regaining some attraction for the opposite sex and that feels great but at the same time my mind says I’m lying to myself and I get this weird feeling in my chest. Idk what this is.

I feel like no one knows the real me, I dont even know the real me anymore. OCD has been my identity for so long I always wonder who the f would I be without it. My thoughts and opinions change so rapidly I dont know if their my own anymore. My moods and emotions are so up and down I'm wondering what's the real way that I feel. Have I just been lying all my life.
