What you had in the past is real , those feelings you had were real. What’s not real is these irrational fears. Feb this year I didn’t even have a glimpse of this stupid HOCD - just waiting on the arrival of my new son into the world. Then my now then wife split up in June long story and I felt very depressed and I relapsed to HOCD again (even though my last HOCD obsession was 7 years ago). I really hate my brain

it’s because ocd wants to isolate you, so that all you think about are your ticks. feeling like your feelings are fake proves you have feelings bc otherwise why would you feel so horrible thinking you don’t!! sometimes i have to sit down and think about this too.

OCD can convince people of literally anything at all , and I don’t mean to give you reassurance , but you would know if you faked feelings for him once you started talking to him. But try to just accept that you don’t know , because even if you did , it doesn’t tell you anything about yourself. It would or could have just been that you weren’t interested in him particularly ( just hypothetically speaking , not saying this is how it was for you lol ) . But don’t engage with the fears , if you got over this one right now , it would either come back again or morph into a different worry. That’s why you have to live with the uncertainty as hard as it is in the beginning.

I know....I was always just so certain about this boy through all this OCD. Like no matter what I was, he was my constant reassurance cause I loved him so much. Then he left, blamed everything on me and my ocd went crazy :/

Hocd is literally a clown in my head.
Like I can’t think straight. This is making me doubt everything I’ve thought about myself and even makes me feel like I like the thoughts when I know I don’t. Like I would be less anxious at a time while I still have the thoughts and my mind would go “oh so you like it you must be gay” or the other one where I’m not anxious and I think of my attraction for girls that I’ve had my whole life and my mind goes “see now you’re not into them you’re gay” like it’s so stupid but so effective. I clearly remember being into girls my whole life but my mind is making me believe that all these attractions and feelings for women were all fake or “a thing of the past”. But I can still get aroused by women but I have this weird anxiety going on which brings these sensations/feelings and it’s so weird. Today I’ve spent my whole day thinking about it like I’ve been doing for 5 months now. I know that this aint normal but my mind just won’t let me live in peace. I never cared about my sexuality cuz I simply liked women my whole life but now my sexuality is a fundamental philosophy. I hate this.

hocd
I don’t know what to do anymore, this started nearly a year ago and caused so much stress and panic attacks over the thought of loosing my boyfriend. Now it just feels real and that he always liked girls and suppressed it (but like the boys i always liked in the past were real feelings they had to be and with my boyfriend i love him) but i haven’t got much anxiety now feels like i want the thoughts and that they don’t bother me even tho they used to, this seems to happen every time i get a lil better, idk just feels so true and that’s what i acc want with no stress, just a lil scared.

hocd
I feel like I'm lying to myself, like I just don't accept that I'm gay, I don't want to be gay, I don't want to feel any kind of attraction anymore, I want to go to a psychologist to find out if I really have hocd or if it's just an excuse, because it feels like I really am gay, but nothing was authentic, it all started with thoughts that made me panic extremely hard and I felt like crying and I had delusions, I don't understand why this is happening to me, I didn't like any boys before the thoughts appeared, but exactly one day after they appeared, all the boys were attractive, of all ages, I want to recover :( I'm only 17 years old, for about 2 months I've been having thoughts, I don't know what to do, I can't go to a psychologist, I need help :(
