I feel I have HOCD FOR MORE THAN 10 years now. Basically all my ocd started since me and my husband started dating for real…. Will it ever go away? Will I ever be happy? Will I ever know? I don’t know… How long for you? Edit for me it’s more SO OCD cause I think I’m bisexual

@OCD can go away Are you married?
Has this distorted your perception of reality? Why do you think you're bisexual? In my case, four months ago, before the obsession began, I viewed women as normal, but now it seems like any woman could attract me. This doesn't make sense. 😭😭😭😭😭
@Anonymous So I always had thoughts like this, idk if it was ocd but only dated and fell in love with men… so I think I’m bi. And since I’m 18 my mind eats me alive. It started since I started dating my husband.
I’ve had OCD for over 10 years but only started therapy around year 7. From what I’ve talked about with my therapist, OCD ebbs and flows. Sometimes it’ll be hard to deal with, sometimes it won’t really bother you. It won’t ever really go away, but you can absolutely be happy as you learn to manage compulsions and shrug off obsessions.
I’m married and also experiencing this. Although now my obsession doesn’t make me visibly anxious but it’s scares me and I catch myself ruminating. I hate it so much. I wish this would go away
I've suffered with OCD for 50 years with many different themes. SOOCD is my primary theme, and no matter which theme I may be in the middle of it always comes back to SOOCD. I'm back in therapy because after a couple of really good years, I've been in the middle of a flare up. My new therapist with NOCD, recently asked me what my core fear about homosexuallity is. I can't seem to answer that. The only answer that I can come up with, is that it is just egotistic. I'm a heterosexual man who loves my wife and raised three great kids. My question is, have. any ofyou ever been able to answer that question. I would appreciate any thoughts on this question. Thank you and have a great day.
Anyone who has had sexual orientation OCD since the “dating age” (middle school/high school)— how did you ever determine your sexuality? I don’t want reassurance because I understand our experiences may be different. I’m just curious— did you try boys and girls? Did you just find your person and know? I started having SOOCD at age 16 and I’m now 28. OCD has ruined my ability to date more than anything else. I feel like it stole my chance at love. I’ve had three long-term situationships with men. I adored them but they were also toxic because I think I subconsciously didn’t believe I deserved better. I felt that if I knew the relationship wouldn’t work because of fundamental differences, at least it was okay that I couldn’t fully be present in the relationship. Not sure if this makes sense, but I’m just grieving that part of my life I missed out on.
Hi all, I deal with HOCD and been seeing a therapist for about 3.5 months. It has definitely got better but still affects me very much. Was wondering there is anyone out there who has dealt with HOCD as well and has recovered. I would love to message or even chat just see how your experience was and hear what was beneficial to you.
