Pure hell.
What happens tho?
I can say with women?Idk if it helps but I think it is the same...It feels like I am attracted to her or like I wanna be with her when most of the time I dont find anything that attracts me I mean the girls are pretty but nothing more and its so annnoying and makes me anxious.And how do you feel when you see an attractive male?
For me, i get a nervous aNxious feeling in my chest stomach area and then thoughts come like "is this attraction?" "Am i attracted to this person" which further escalates the nervousness and leads it into a brainy anxiety.
For me, i immediately get nrrcous in my chest/stomach area
I become veryyy anxious, and need to get out of there as soon as possible. Check for arousal or groinal response but this (luckily) never happened before. I ask myself immediately, could you be attracted to him? Look, he looks good don't you think so? Would you like to kiss him? And I'm like STOPPP fucking god please. When I see a cute girl i am aroused, feel a warm feeling and love to keep staring at her. Why is HOCD so fucked up!!! I know exactly what I like and what turns me on...
Anxious as well. To be honest i get hocd when i see men who are more idk masculine and more big than me cuz (bla bla childohood father wasnt’t there he cheated on my mom, abusive) so practicly kind of a lack of father like protection and that shit triggers somehow this. When the image is very explicit i get a somehow boner but one very strange cause at a conscious level i don’t like what im watching and imaging or idk putting myself in such a situation makes me sick. Recently I thought hmm what if im bisexual? Ok so because in the late idk 2 months my life was mainly about sexuallity what was the first think i checked? Bi porn: of course i didnt like it but idk hocd was putting something downthere. But now im kinda chill cause i know i wouldnt do such a shit (sorry if there are any gays or bis around here)
Does anyone else avoid people of the same sex when their HOCD flares up??? I’ve always unfollowed girls on my instagram that I thought were attractive because I was scared of liking them / and I didn’t want to see them because it made me think I found them attractive and stuff. Is this normal or is it just me being scared of admitting i’m gay? HOCD is so frustrating and confusing sometimes. Am I just scared of my truth☹️?
So my hocd started over 2 years ago (I’m 20 yrs old now), when I was having a conversation with one of my friends and the thought popped into the back of my head what if the reason I don’t have a crush on any guys at my high school is because I’m a lesbian. Since then my sexuality has been on my mind 24/7 I didn’t know this was ocd until about a year ago but i’m only seeking treatment now. The hocd ramped up when I felt super aroused watching a movie with topless women, something that had never happened when watching men. Thing is I genuinely think I’m gay now, I’ve had this for so long that at first the thoughts disgusted me and caused me anxiety but now they don’t anymore. I saw so many tiktok videos about “pipelines” of certain interests gay people have that triggered me and read the comphet masterdoc which made me cry when I read it because I related to so much of it. When I was a child I was never boy crazy, I never really crushed on boys in my class (to be fair there were only 7) however I do remember writing a love note to a boy in first grade and having an immense celebrity crush on a disney channel star. I remember to certain things I did as a child that lead me to think I am gay and they keep replaying over and over in my head. Thing is over the past year I’ve had crushes on 3 guys I’ve met through dating apps. The last one I actually hung out with and I had my first kiss/makeout session 2 months ago. After that my hocd calmed down I enjoyed kissing him it felt euphoric the whole drive home just replaying our dates in my head. But now I can’t get the thought out of my head what if I didn’t like it enough? I didn’t get butterflies when we kissed (i do when I think back about it though) and didnt feel super aroused like that time I watched that movie. I feel nothing when I look at pictures and videos of men but with women I started getting this warm feeling in my chest which stressed me out even more. Idk what I am anymore and it is driving me insane. Does anyone relate?
Never been into dudes at all but I have recognized when a guy is good looking. I have been getting the thought that a coworker of mine is "cute". About 5 years ago I had some pretty bad hocd thoughts. I discussed it with a therapist. But is it normal for things like that to come back? Like I try to imagine myself with him and it doesn't feel right at all but I have the thought and I'm like. Uh ok..... I'm 31 by the way.
