And so what? Denial isn’t as complex as they’re making it. Sure, people can subconsciously hide it from themselves for years but the fact that you spend time actively worrying about it tells me orherwise. No reassurance here, but the rule of thumb of being in denial is being reluctant of bringing the word up to yourself. Like an alcoholic in denial won’t worry about being in denial, they’ll worry about bringing that word into existence and connecting it to themselves. The fact that you and me CONSTANTLY question it and fear about even being in denial proves that we might not even be in denial ??♀️ if we are, so what? It wouldn’t kill us. The only thing to believe between suffering from OCD and being in denial about coming to terms with your sexuality is that what you have is just a thought. Whether it’s true or not, it’s ONLY a thought

The first thing you should know is that empty closet forums are directed towards people who know zero about HOCD so their stories can’t always be applied to everyone. As we know on here , HOCD has a way of mimicking real feelings even though they’re less genuine than synthetics. I don’t know if anyone who ever questioned if they were in denial. I think your best bet is to not search those forums because they aren’t always realistic and one person’s circumstances are totally unknown and for that reason , their situation is completely different too. Try to accept that you can’t know what you are for sure , but that it’s okay that you don’t know and that you wouldn’t suffer regardless of the answer. Hope this helps ?

I’m so afraid I might be lesbian. I was very anxious at first but it started to calm down. I’m only 15 and I have a boyfriend I love. At least I think I do, I always chose to question everything and over analyze. I found out about hocd and it described everything I was feeling. I’d take test and read articles like “am I lesbian” but I have never fantasied a girl or wanted to be with a girl sexually or romantically. But what if I’m in denial? I do think girls are physically attractive but I never crushed on a girl. I have always crushed on boys. And liked being with them. I’m just so lost. My anxiety about it had calmed down. But the question is still there sometimes. Earlier today, I found a girl pretty and I got scared thinking that meant something. Then I read about women who have married men, but they know they’re lesbian. I’m scared that that’ll Happen to me. I don’t want to be lesbian. No disrespect. But I just want to be happy. I think I’ve suffered from ocd before. Tell me anyone if I’m wrong. But I used to have thoughts of that my boyfriend would murder me in the future because of theses videos that triggered me. It caused me so much pain and felt so real. That I eventually started to think I’d murder my mom and sister for no reason. I felt so helpless. But I got through it. I hope I get through this. Please any advice? Is this hocd?? Does anyone else feel this way?

I’m really freaking out right now. I keep reading things. I keep getting scared and panicking myself. I’m sweating like crazy right now. Idk if I’m actually lesbian or it’s ocd. I keep reading things and people answer with there’s no such this as hocd and stuff. And how someone had ocd and thought they were bi but officially said they were gay. I’m so scared rn.

This thing gets weirder and weirder I swear. I literally woke up, right. And my mind immediately went “What if you don’t have OCD? You’d just be really bi” and I went along pretending that I didn’t know about OCD and I was just experiencing denial. Then I scrolled on twitter and went on my friend’s page and then my mind went “why don’t you like her? There’s nothing wrong with her. I thought you were supposed to have a crush on her” Here’s the worst part in this: I’m now convinced that HOCD is a huge lie that I made up and it’s homophobic for me to suffer from this theme of OCD and label my “attractions” to the same sex as “bouts of anxiety.” Therefore, I’m not only a bad person, but a liar.
