I think I became a stalker, though according to my psych technically I couldn't be one because I'm suffering with the stalking. Idk what advice i could need but i feel like i could do with some?

If you were a stalker , you could always stop because you have the power to do so , and maybe you could use your knowledge of stalking to catch other stalkers ! Maybe go into crime solving ! I’m obviously getting creative here with it , but what I’m showing you is that if it were true , there could be things to come out of it that are positive. But I don’t think a genuine stalker would be on an OCD app feeling worried about it ??

I have no idea if I’m actually experiencing HOCD or not. The thoughts no longer carry as much anxiety anymore and when I day dream, I sometimes imagine myself with a girl not a boy (I’m a girl btw)- not on purpose I don’t think, but uGHHH I don’t know what I feel anymore :( I’ve never ever liked girls in that way, and I still don’t think I do but my mind is always saying ‘I like girls’ or something of the sort :( I don’t know what type of ERP I should do to try and reduce the obsession, any advice?

Hey ! So not having much anxiety anymore to the thoughts is actually extremely normal for HOCD , I can’t stress that enough. The reason why could be that you’re so drained and you’ve grown so used to the thoughts , that they’ve lost their power to you. That could actually be a step closer to recovery , as long as you continue to sit with how you feel without reassuring yourself. It doesn’t necessarily mean it is recovery per se , but just that the thoughts don’t have as much power over you as they once did. And it’s also normal to visual about your fear unconsciously or consciously , it’s been on your mind for so long that your brain may now view it as something important so it replays it constantly , almost like something going off in your head that relates to something you’ve been doing or thinking about. For HOCD ERP , I would say maybe go to a gay club or watch a movie with a gay character in it so you realize that your life would be the same with or without your fear being true , and that you would still be who you are. Hope this helped :)
