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 just don't know
I've gotten diagnosed with OCD and I'm in therapy. But I'm worried that I don't have OCD/that I got misdiagnosed. And recently I'm worried that I've just gotten myself into a habit of thinking of dirty minded or just plain old terrible things after I see/hear certain things because I feel like I need to prove I have OCD or else I'm faking(sometimes this goes away). Or that I'm just mimicking symptoms of ocd to cope with real problems I may have and that im just really deep into denial. I don't know...I'm just so tired. I mean, what if I really am what I think I am and this is my brains only way of coping? I don't even really feel anything towards most of the thoughts anymore either I just know they go against my values and I don't want them. I don't know if that's because I'm so mentally exhausted, I just don't care, or that the thoughts are true and I'm comfortable with them.

Please help- so-ocd
I did an erp and I was thinking over and over again “I want to be with girls I just don’t want others to find out” and then it felt like a moment of yeah that is what I want. It felt really real I can’t believe it’s not. I wasn’t anxious about it. It felt completely like me and even when I tried to deny it like it was a true realization and that I wanted it to be true. I can’t do this. What do I do!!! Erp suggestions?

Question about HOCD
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
