Any techniques to calm hocd? Like something SOS? I try to say they’re thoughts and mean nothing, but then I go “what if I’m in denial and that’s why I’m say this and thinking this?” And I spiral again. Anything would really help at this point. I really feel like the odd one out here.

I have so much anxiety. It’s 3:20 where I am and I woke up at 1:30 and have been up ever since. Can’t sleep.

Someone told me it sounds like I could be bi and have hocd and that set me off so much .

@annehatesocd I understand. Who told you that?

@elleeen Umm i don’t remember the person’s name on here but they have hocd as well and they are trying to accept the fact of uncertainty. I think it was Luna something. I’d you scroll down you can find her, but it really scared me. I’m terrified now :( Do you think im bi? From all you know? Like i want to be with a guy in my head and heart but it just feels like i can’t, do you feel like that?

@annehatesocd jup i can relate. And i wont answer because only you know, and i don’t think other people should tell u what u are... thats not cool. Espacially when people here have HOCD, its not okey to trigger people. Trust yourself even thought u feel like you don’t know, because im in that stage. Try to remember its only fear, fear of being gay its worse than being gay.

@elleeen Ya I feel awful cause there is absolutely nothing wrong with being gay. I don’t even know why I’m so distressed. I think it’s cause we are straight but just scared of being gay. Idk.

@annehatesocd Yes i feel bad too, because i’m not homophobic at all. And ocd doesnt make sense, i want guys, but feel like i’m gay.

@elleeen I don’t even know if I want guys. Well I mean I know I want guys but it’s like I can’t even become attracted to them anymore and it sucks :(

@elleeen Do you deal with that to?

@annehatesocd Jup, its normal. When u have ocd you get so deep down in the thoughts that you don’t know anymore. We have to try to live around the the thoughts and feelings

@annehatesocd it was me and i just want to say i never said you were bi i said it possibly sounds like you were , you said honestly is it hocd or am i bi and i said from what you've told me i think it might be both but i don't know you in person , please don't twist what i said when i was trying to help you , you asked for my honest opinion and i never once said you were i said you could possibly be bi and suffer with thy hocd still

@elleeen I’m still so scared....cause like I said I know you were trying to help Lucy but it really triggered me. That I could possibly be bi. And that scared me so much. Cause I could never be with a girl, that terrifies me.

@annehatesocd i'm in the same boat don't worry , i know i would never get with a girl but i still get the feeling so i have to just deal with the uncertainty and know how i feel in my heart
