Is it sexual orientation OCD ? I think it’s also cashed SOOCD?
@Tea and Honey What is cashed soocd
@JohnKit lol, I meant to say, “called SO OCD”
@JohnKit But it looks like Nathan Peterson (the person I referenced in YouTube below). also called it HOCD.
@Tea and Honey Ya I watch the video
@JohnKit I think this struggle is common
@Tea and Honey I don’t know anymore
@JohnKit Did you watch the video? Did it help?
@Tea and Honey Actually it did help alot
@Tea and Honey Help me claim down
@JohnKit Nathan Peterson has a lot of videos that might help. He also has an online course that you can take yourself
@JohnKit Don’t worry!! You just have a certain subtype of OCD. We all have OCD on this app. There are all sorts of subtypes, and it’s all the same thing. You can get better!!!
@Tea and Honey I got a question tho
@JohnKit Sure. What’s your question?
@Tea and Honey I forgot bruh
@JohnKit Lol
@JohnKit Just remember, you will get better if you do what the therapists tell you to do. Listen to the therapists, and listen to Nathan Peterson ands DO WHAT THEY TELL YOU TO DO. Go forward in life and apply what is taught. It seems scary. It doesn’t feel safe. But this is one sure way that we will get better and better!!!
@Tea and Honey I don’t have a therapist
@JohnKit Have you looked into NOCD? They are all online, and they take a lot of insurance. If not, I would just watch Nathan Peterson’s videos in YouTube. Then you can just be diligent to put into practice the things that he says. :):)
@Tea and Honey Shi cost money
@JohnKit You Tube is free!! :):) Nathan Peterson is good 👍
@Tea and Honey Yeah but sometime I hat he say will trigger my hocd
@JohnKit You can’t get better without risking some triggers. To “avoid” doing something is actually to follow a compulsion. As you recover from OCD, you will have to learn to stop avoiding triggers. A lot of therapy is allowing yourself to get triggered on purpose. :):)
@JohnKit Your HOCD isn’t real. It is just a trick that your OCD is playing. It is okay to get triggered. It is actually good practice for you to get triggered, because then you can practice dealing with it.
@JohnKit If you continue to avoid all triggers, you can never get better. So you have to practice doing things that trigger you. ;)
@Tea and Honey Hey I got a question so I feel like I don’t know or have feeling for woman anymore or forgot what it feel like
@JohnKit Don’t worry. There is something you have got to learn with OCD—and that is YOUR FEELINGS generally DON’T MEAN ANYTHING. If you have feeling, that’s fine. If you don’t have feelings, that’s fine. Don’t expect your feelings to be in the right places. When you have OCD, your feelings are going to be all over the place, and you can’t trust that they are true at all. So don’t worry about your feelings. They don’t matter a bit. Make the decisions that you want to make in life, and then go with that :):)
@JohnKit Feelings are kind of like your thoughts. They don’t matter
@Tea and Honey Hey
@JohnKit Hello!
@Tea and Honey Snap?
@JohnKit Sorry, I don’t have WhatsApp or Snap. Thanks, though!
@Tea and Honey any?
@JohnKit Sorry, I don’t really have anything:):)
@Tea and Honey I just need to talk to someone
@JohnKit Love to talk to you!! Can we talk here?
@Tea and Honey I wanan talk somewhere pv
@Tea and Honey Ok so someone told me to find a Godly find and my feelings went like oh no I don’t want a gf but a bf like no I’m straight
@Tea and Honey I wanan talk somewhere pv
@JohnKit Gotcha:). I understand! I am here whenever you need me!! :):)
@Tea and Honey Read my text
@JohnKit Sorry, I didn’t see that text. Someone told you to find a godly person to date? That is good!! Yes, you should do that! Don’t worry about the thoughts that OCD puts in your head. It doesn’t matter what thoughts it puts in your head. You can make you own decisions and live by those decisions.
@JohnKit It doesn’t matter what thoughts OCD puts in your head. You decide what you want to do
@Tea and Honey Ya but if I keep ignoring the feelings and thoughts won’t that mean I’m in denial?
@JohnKit Nope. It doesn’t mean you are in denial at all. The feelings and thoughts DON’T MEAN ANYTHING because they come from OCD. When you have OCD, you are SUPPOSED to ignore your feelings and thoughts. Ignoring your feelings and thoughts is the only way to conquer OCD. So don’t let OCD trick you by saying you are in denial. You are actually going forward with your life the way you need to. :)
@JohnKit The only way to beat OCD is to ignore the feelings and thoughts. Make the decisions that you want to make—and ignore the feelings and thoughts. It’s the only way
@Tea and Honey OCD is a disorder of thoughts and feelings. You can’t trust them at all
@Tea and Honey Ain’t it also doubt to? Cause I use to have thought about same sex then it was gone then unwanted images then it gone now ir doubt and compulsion
@JohnKit OCD is definitely a disorder of doubt too. It is known to be a disorder of doubt. Just because you have fleeting thoughts in your head, it doesn’t mean anything. Don’t worry about your thoughts. They don’t mean anything!!
@JohnKit When you have OCD, you have to put faith over your thoughts, feelings and doubts. You make the decision THAT is RIGHT, and you go with that decision — and you ignore the doubts the feelings and the thoughts.
@Tea and Honey Remember, OCD is going to lie to you all day. OCD’s job is to torment you and try to trick you and try to lie to you —in order to manipulate you into doing what it wants. Following OCD will make you miserable.
@Tea and Honey Hey I got another question so I was watching this dude catching a Ped talking to a 13 year old boy and they were having a chat about nasty stuff and I think I have a groinal spawn
@Tea and Honey Hello
@JohnKit Groinals don’t mean anything. They are just like the OCD thoughts. None of it means anything. Just ignore it
@Tea and Honey You sureee?
@JohnKit Yep. All of that is meaningless. Just ignore all of it.
@Tea and Honey How am I supposed to ignore it when it keep popping up in my head
@JohnKit It’s GOING to pop up in your head over and over and over. That’s what OCD does. If you don’t care about the thoughts though, they should quiet down over time. So yes: The thoughts will keep popping up. You have to keep ignoring them. It might take a long time. Or it might take a short time. But eventually, the OCD gets “bored” of trying to trigger you with the same thoughts, and the thoughts quiet down.
@JohnKit Just be aware, though, that when you defeat OCD in one area, it will try to bug you in some new area. Don’t be worried when that happens. It’s all just the same tricks of OCD, and you treat every OCD theme in exactly the same way.
@Tea and Honey You got a bf?
@JohnKit Married :):)
@Tea and Honey ??
@JohnKit lol, I don’t have to worry about relationship problems because I am married. Marriage is nice because it is more secure than dating, and then the OCD can’t mess with it very much, and that makes life easier.
@Tea and Honey Ooo you married I thought you were just like me a young adult I just turn 18 so ya😂
@Tea and Honey Have you told the person who you married to about hocd
@JohnKit I’ve told him everything :):)
@Tea and Honey You probably have a beautiful life and beautiful children but feel like I would never have something like that cause of hocd
@JohnKit I struggle every day, but that’s okay. You don’t have to avoid living life because of HOCD! It doesn’t matter if you have it or not. You get to live the life that you chose to live. Therapy will help A TON!!! ERP therapy will help a ton! They do ERP therapy at NOCD and also with Nathan Peterson’s YouTube channel.
Try this video from Nathan Peterson. It looks like a lot of people struggle with exactly the same thing you are describing: https://youtu.be/clOlsecReow?si=7Z-rEHNu1E4tKLqE
Like I can’t think straight. This is making me doubt everything I’ve thought about myself and even makes me feel like I like the thoughts when I know I don’t. Like I would be less anxious at a time while I still have the thoughts and my mind would go “oh so you like it you must be gay” or the other one where I’m not anxious and I think of my attraction for girls that I’ve had my whole life and my mind goes “see now you’re not into them you’re gay” like it’s so stupid but so effective. I clearly remember being into girls my whole life but my mind is making me believe that all these attractions and feelings for women were all fake or “a thing of the past”. But I can still get aroused by women but I have this weird anxiety going on which brings these sensations/feelings and it’s so weird. Today I’ve spent my whole day thinking about it like I’ve been doing for 5 months now. I know that this aint normal but my mind just won’t let me live in peace. I never cared about my sexuality cuz I simply liked women my whole life but now my sexuality is a fundamental philosophy. I hate this.
I don’t know what to do anymore, this started nearly a year ago and caused so much stress and panic attacks over the thought of loosing my boyfriend. Now it just feels real and that he always liked girls and suppressed it (but like the boys i always liked in the past were real feelings they had to be and with my boyfriend i love him) but i haven’t got much anxiety now feels like i want the thoughts and that they don’t bother me even tho they used to, this seems to happen every time i get a lil better, idk just feels so true and that’s what i acc want with no stress, just a lil scared.
I’ve had hocd for around 11 months now. It’s gotten to the point where I’m just convinced that I am bi. I still like boys like I always have, but I feel like I like girls too. I have no anxiety either or active thoughts. It’s just kinda there like yep I’m bi and ok with it. Anyone else? Just curious.
