Although you say that it’s not true, I would recommend against doing that because it’s a form of reassurance, a compulsion. The only real way to get through it is to suffer through it and eventually goes away. Trust me on that one I have had it too

@Lazar Oh yes of course! I do think we have to accept these emotions and feelings, but we don’t have to like them! And we don’t have to believe that they mean anything. We can let the thoughts and feelings pass through us and even be there without freaking out because we know who we truly are and that these fears mean nothing. It was never my intention to trigger anyone into seeking reassurance. I just wanted to encourage those who are feeling a little down today

I don’t think I’ve “overcome” HOCD @Lu12. I think I will fight it and different types of OCD for the rest of my life. But it has improved greatly by me letting the thoughts and feelings just pass through me and not giving them as much attention. Also I’ve learned the importance of loving myself through this and not letting ocd define me. This is a journey for all of us and we will have good days and bad days. But I hope that we all have more good days than bad days. Just know you aren’t alone! I hate this disorder so much. And I hate that we all deal with it. But I’m rooting for each of you.

I’m 25 and never ever thought this before my soocd relapse. I have a bf of 5 years. Never been a high libido kinda girl. Don’t get me wrong I do get turned on by my bf but not like every day you know? - That had always been in the back of my head, is this normal and ok? But my ocd has latched onto the most scariest what if EVER. My brain is now saying How do you know you won’t prefer to sleep and kiss girls if you haven’t tried it: and it’s that unknown that is scaring the shit out of me. I DONT AND NEVER HAVE wanted to sleep / kiss a girl. But now my intrusive thoughts is all I think about!!! I don’t want I don’t want I don’t want??? So why does my brain think BUT WHAT IF??? I know ocd thrives off uncertainty which is why I think this is happening? But I don’t wanna find out or work it out because all I want is to be with my bf and marry him!! Is this just the epitome of OCD?

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

I’ve been thinking a lot about how OCD changes the way we see ourselves, but I recently realized that I am not my thoughts. Just because a thought pops up doesn’t mean it’s true or that it defines me. I’ve started learning how to see OCD for what it is—just a disorder trying to trick me—and I’ve become stronger in dealing with it. Has anyone else here had a similar realization? How do you handle these thoughts when they show up?
