Come on you guys! You will all get through this! I have HOCD and I'm married and have a beautiful baby girl. I struggle everyday but I'm getting through it too. You can do it! I fear that im a lesbian and just in denial. I notice and have sexual thoughts about women. But I dont want to trade anything for the life I have! Dont let this shit take over keep pushing forward!

After I’ve read this post I feel like I am like this guy who thought he had HOCD but turned out to be gay and I am so convinced now I feel like even if this is over I will find a bf then a husband and then I will have kids but I will realise that I am a lesbian and leave them and Its killing me.I just think that the only way is to admit that I am a lesbian or kill myself

Find the right kind of girl and you will be ok. Someone who accepts you for you. I didn't start to develope until my husband and I first were looking for a place to live 7 years ago. It started as harm ocd. Thinking I would hurt him. Then ROCD and now HOCD. Always about him. Needless to say I think I have commitment issues? but if you find someone who understands you and loves you anyway you will be ok! Relationships aren't perfect just like people aren't perfect. You will hurt eachother from time to time, ( not physically). But talk...about EVERYTHING. That's what works for me and my spouse at least

Does your husband know about your hocd?

My husband knows everything. We talk very openly. I try not to dump on him to much or seek reasurrance from him. But he also has the right to know my inner most thoughts. But again that's just what works for our relationship. And no people who are educated on the subject will know who you truely are.

JS0406 let me say that different. People that understand ocd will not think you are in denial. Try not to seek reasurrance from people that have no education on the subject. From my personal experience, seeking reasurrance from someone that doesn't understand ocd, will end in you probably thinking your thoughts are based on your true feelings

I've always found women pretty and admired them since I was younger, never wanted to be with them or anything. I always pictured having a boyfriend and my crushes were always boys. I have a boyfriend now but because this has happened I feel nothing towards him or any men. To be honest I'm so exhausted I don't feel much at all, there was so much anxiety at the start and now there is none. Does that mean I have accepted the thoughts. My mind keeps going you were suppressed all these years but I do find women pretty so that's what's making it worse. Am I just in denial and being delusional? I never doubted my sexuality before this I always considered myself to be straight but I feels like my mind has been twisted and can't remember any attraction to guys but can remember thinking girls are pretty? Does this mean it's all real? I don't know anymore

I feel sick to my stomach, a few days ago I knew I was straight and could picture my life with my bf again. The anxiety has really lessend and Im more depressed now. I'm 100% convinced I am lesbian even tho I have never had sexual attraction to women, found them pretty but never wanted to be with them. My mind is only picturing me being with women now and it feels like a pit in my stomach. I don't feel emotion now, I'm also on my period. I don't want to be lesbian. I want to be with my boyfriend and have the life I pictured with him. My memory is so dissorted right now. I don't think there's anything wrong with being lesbian, it's just not for me and now that makes me feel like I'm homophobic.

So i started to feel like a lesbian again and that i have to be one. I dont want to be one. I just dont. But being straight feel like a lie now. I question my whole life, my feelings and everything. The biggest indicator of this must be that i will be slowly 21 year old and ive never dated anyone and i dont really find anyone attractive and i dont even know if i truly was attracted to someone and im scared of relationships i might have trauma or have anxious avoidant attachment. Help me. I do feel lost. Really lost. I dont know who am I anymore. I feel like that i must have been gay my whole life now. I feel like an alien. I sometimes feel like 2 people are living inside of me.😞😞😞
