i had too a great week and o confronted alot of fear and those unnesessary thought-patterns hocd likes to throw at me. great feeling if you just can watch ocd drown in itself and u do not have to react to it. :) then i fukd up with compulsions. it made me depressive, but i learned alot and i am not giving up. :)

Sometimes it might help to consider one is asexual at times as well. If only to help give yourself a break from the ocd.

I think that sometimes, but then get anxiety about being asexual and lonely.

@ocdsucksbutt Yeah maybe that's just a compulsion then.

@JS0406 who said it would be easy? thats why you are fighting, keep it up. its just in your head and not realy happening right now. focus on the present moment and stay there. do not dive into those thoughts.

@sn3k i might be triggering u a little but say to those thoughts "okay then i might be gay - who cares, i wanna live my life like i want to und you hocd cant do a shit about it" and do not react on that u just u might be gay therefore u can do gay stuff or other reasuring. just be yourself without the ocd.

@JS0406 it does not matter what thoughts it throws at you. its important u do not react with compulsions/checking otherwise u be adding even more fictional evidance for your everyhingry ocd. :)

same. When I’m w the same sex I get the thoughts a lot but I just don’t react to them. And ofc this makes me think I’m lesbian bc I’m accepting the thoughts, but that’s also ocd tryna come at me in different ways. You got this

@JS0406 yes me too, but I just remind myself you’re never going to make progress unless you learn and make yourself change your reactions. Because I don’t want to be in this hell forever, so think of it as an escape route or hope, that It’s worth a try.

@JS0406 thats the masterclass there. classify them as simpel dumb thoughts not real present fears and move on, stay present - only in the present u can change and do things. its a hard way but its helpfull on the long run.

@JS0406 I’ve had this for a long time and every day I wish I did something to stop myself from sleeping that night so that the next morning I wouldn’t have this ocd but truth is we’re just as much stronger because we get thrown the heavy duty some have the luxury of not experiencing, and just knowing you can get through it and look back at how well you handled this excruciating experience, you can literally do anything. You’re a legit Superman I mean come on this shit is hard to take on. So I’m proud of all of us.:)

@JS0406 yes, I find it super exhausting because it sucks the fun out of literally everything. I used to watch tv and then see a pretty girl and the thoughts would flood, but now I decided to not take that shit. So I suggest you keep watching tv until you’re comfortable with it. I still sometimes get the thoughts while watching shows, but it isn’t as bad as it used to be.

HOCD question
Anyone else with HOCD get thoughts of like "people in denial try to distract themselves" or anything along those lines when just trying to move on from the thoughts. Having a pretty bad episode this morning at least anxiety wise.

I’m so tired. HOCD is the worst.
I don’t know what to do with this bs anymore. I’m crying again and again and again and again. I cannot describe how painful this is. I’ve recovered from every single OCD subtype expect this one. HOCD is so scary and it’s so incredibly scary how it feels so real. The issue with this subtype is how intertwined it is with feelings and sensations. I hate how it keeps latching onto the past and uses the past as proof. I don’t want it to be the truth. I don’t want to accept any possibility.
