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

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

Why does SO-OCD feel so real?
It all started two months ago when I was making scenarios in my head to fall asleep.. i was imagining myself kissing a man and then it turned into a woman. The moment that happened, I opened my eyes and panicked.. it was complete panic, i started sweating, crying and I couldn’t function anymore. I started asking myself “am i gay”, “i have to come out to my boyfriend”, “i have to come out to everyone”, it was all within the span of 10 minutes… soooo overwhelming!! My mind acted as if I was gay, I lost my sense of identity, I couldn’t even trust myself anymore even when I reassured myself. It was such an awful cycle, to look at any person, a man to make sure i was straight, and a woman to make sure I wasn’t gay… i feel ashamed saying this. If i looked at a woman a certain way, like oh she’s pretty, my mind would say yes u see ur gay. After two months, I imagine any interest with a female stranger as a confirmation of being gay, I’m so nervous all the time, i start sweating and checking for groinal responses (the worst is when the response happens).. i cant afford a session with a therapist now, and i keep saying that i dont have OCD, im in denial, and that one day ill be gay. Can someone offer some insight on wether this sounds like OCD?

Not officially diagnosed with OCD, but will I ever get over this or is it just a part of my life now. Have been constantly having thoughts every single day for almost a year it feels like. There has barely been times where I’m not thinking “I’m gay” or having it in the back of my mind. This just brings extreme guilt as I’m in a relationship. Not sure what to do. Everything from my past is proof. This morning I was just bombarded with “ I’m gay” “im gay”
