Hey, I just joined and had suffered very badly from HOCD. Thankfully with treatment I have improved significantly. Even in the past I had refused to acknowledge that the fear of being gay was my point of OCD. Over the years I have made improvements and have achieved a significant improvement in my quality of life. I feel what would work is Cognitive Therapy in the form of comedy. In the past even the thought of it was something that would trigger me, but now it’s such a passive issue thankfully. And hopefully with enough time, the fear will subside. Find what makes you happy and channel yourself to those activities. For me it was weightlifting and films. Find yours. Hope this helps. https://youtu.be/s44uf4oqAMk

What are your symptoms?

I have HOCD. You know it is there when you think about being with the same sex and the thought makes you fee uncomfortable or that you are in danger. I feel the exact same way sometimes, the best way to deal with it is exposure so talk to a therapist about it! HOCD is actually very common.

It’s like, because a couple months ago I had some problems with my girlfriend and then I started to think about it too much and started thinking that maybe I couldn’t have done it that time with her because maybe I was gay. So this has increased the last months, I look at guys scared all the time thinking I’m going to be attracted to them, same with my friends. I feel a lot of anxiety when I think about being with a girl again, wich I have but this feeling still doesn’t go away. All this thoughts come into my mind wich I don’t like and feel really anxious. I wake up and go to bed thinking on the same thing

And it’s very weird, before I looked at a girl and didn’t even question myself, now it’s like I can’t look things from the same perspective. That experience with that girl really made my self steem low

Sometimes I think " do I like kids?" "Would i get aroused if I saw content with kids?""What if I'm a pedo and cant accept it?" "What if I'm ok with these thoughts?" "What if I'm not distressed enough " "What if I enjoy these thoughts?" , i avoid kids as much as i can, i cant look at them bc I'm scared I'm gonna have some groin like response. I keep testing if I'd get turned on or if I'd have some groinal response to sexual scenarios with kids. Sometimes I think that if I took my life this would be over and i wouldn't have to think about this and i wish i doubted something else instead of things like this. I had similar situations just with different topics such as if i loved or found sexually appealing a guy while in a relationship and i kept asking myself those questions for months and i avoided going to school for weeks and when I went I'd cry and have anxiety attacks. I had it with past actions i obessed over and felt the need to exploit every detail and be honest because otherwise i was being a fraud. I had it for sexual things that happened when i was a child. Im not diagnosed with ocd but should i tell this to my local counselor? Can someone help? Give me advice or tell me anything?

I’m 25 and never ever thought this before my soocd relapse. I have a bf of 5 years. Never been a high libido kinda girl. Don’t get me wrong I do get turned on by my bf but not like every day you know? - That had always been in the back of my head, is this normal and ok? But my ocd has latched onto the most scariest what if EVER. My brain is now saying How do you know you won’t prefer to sleep and kiss girls if you haven’t tried it: and it’s that unknown that is scaring the shit out of me. I DONT AND NEVER HAVE wanted to sleep / kiss a girl. But now my intrusive thoughts is all I think about!!! I don’t want I don’t want I don’t want??? So why does my brain think BUT WHAT IF??? I know ocd thrives off uncertainty which is why I think this is happening? But I don’t wanna find out or work it out because all I want is to be with my bf and marry him!! Is this just the epitome of OCD?

(20f) I have been dealing with severe OCD symptoms for as long as I can remember. I recently got diagnosed about a year ago, and even though I know that these thoughts are probably my ocd, I still cant shake them. Growing up I was always very sexually curious. I was sheltered from a lot of things, as I went to a private school and things like sexuality and sex were never talked about. I remember doing some weird sexual things growing up (never affecting another person), looking up taboo sexual things, etc. I always seemed to become aroused no matter what the situation was, even if I just saw someone getting changed. I have no recollection of being SA'd, so i'm wondering where this all came from? Was I just curious and wanted to experiment and try different things? Or am I really a pervert, pedophile, etc. I have all these thoughts racing through my head and it's killing me. Everything I did as a kid I look back on and am disgusted, as those don't align with my views at all today. I never thought growing up thinking these things were wrong, or actually realize what they were until I got older. I'd like to think it was just my curiosity, but i'm not sure. What if i'm in denial and actually do like these things? I just need to know if theres something wrong w me, I cant keep going on like this. Could really use some advice.
