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

Religious OCD/ Mean thoughts about sexuality
Hi everyone, I was sitting thinking about my ex texting me.. we are truly friends and haven’t thought about anything more between us.. but I was fantasizing about what he might be texting me about. I was thinking “oh maybe he is going to text me and say that he is still in love with me… or since he is bi-sexual, maybe he is going to tell me that he has HIV..” I immediately felt horrible because that is a stereotype about the gay community that is completely false and it was a horrible thing to think… I tried to say “that was a horrible thought to have and you have never had a thought like that before, just don’t do it again.” But I am so ashamed and my OCD is telling me that the bad guys is going to get me… can someone please assure me that I am not a terrible person? I know that we shouldn’t be seeking reassurance but I am struggling

Sexual Orientation OCD
I have a lot of trouble with my sexuality. I’ve been trying to figure out my sexuality for years. I’ve dated a man, and I wasn’t really into the whole time. And since then I’ve thought that maybe I’m a lesbian because I’m attracted to women, which I know for sure. But then my brain spirals, I constantly think back ti memories with my ex, how I felt with him, I check how it makes me feel. I often google to see if other lesbians have felt similar, I ask ChatGpt over and over again. I feel like I have to be 100% certain or that im faking for attention, or thst I’ll end up with a man. I guess im wondering has anyone else felt like this ? What’s been your experience how do you manage it?
