I doesn’t matter what the intrusive thought is one bit. OCD is like a chameleon it changes colors and causes your brain to latch onto different themes and ideas once triggered it starts the snowball effect. The main thing is not to let it destroy you and waste precious time trying to figure it out. No answer is available where none exists.

It means you have a brain disorder that is being conditioned to latch onto these intrusive thoughts (hocd or otherwise) until it produces enough distress to get your attention. It’s not you! it’s the way your brain generates thoughts. Be kind to yourself...beating yourself up over it wastes time.

My therapist says I have mild symptoms of Ocd and said he can’t put me on meds and didn’t even use any form of ERP or CBT to help me this is a second therapist who has failed to help.

It's the hocd the first week I thought I felt like coming out, but deep dwn inside I know it's not true but the feeling is so real. I've exposed myself to guys pictures and that sort...and I find it repulsive, it's like a alien thoughts. Your not alone. I wish to marry and have kids one day

I feel you yesterday I felt great! Last night I had a dream with a beautiful girl I know. But wen I woke up, I had that feeling again. Its wasent as bad to kick up my anxiety but it's there even as I type. Try not to engage them thoughts I know its tuff but just try to let them flow because suppressing it does make it worse! I'm learning to deal with it, tlkn about it really helps because were not Alone

Brother it's your OCD from what I e been reading, I was in gangs through out my whe life. When I moved out that neighborhood. I thought sum1 was out to get me even after a couple years had gone by. I didn't realize it was OCD or PTSD. I got over that fear though. It wasent easy but I did it. Nd for sum reason my OCD got triggered 2 weeks ago. And I realized it was hocd. I had never experienced anything hoosexual. I got really hight on weed 2 weeks ago and was watching a documentary about Hollywood and society promoting homosexuality. And that's when it started for me. Like I was devastated cus my ocd says I'm gay. But deep dwn I know I'm not. I had gotten over the ptsd before. So that's why I ha e faith in myself il get over this hocd. I know it won't be easy because the human mind is extraordinary and powerful. Like I said it's only been two weeks for me bro. I hope this time it's not around for years since I know what I. Going through this time.
