@Ionut Second this, try to not take it so seriously, it helps in itself but is much easier if you're busy with life.

I'm not trying to be rude but it definitely is easier said than done. I wish I didn't care but it isnt something I can magically turn off.

@Lina That's why I mentioned it's easier if you're busy with going to the gym, team sports, volunteer, work, study.. the idle mind is even worse with ocd imho

@Madskills422 But to be motivated to do all these things u need some sort of happy feeling or a feeling that gives satisfaction or validation to actually do it, and there is no room for that with hocd. Its sooo hard to be productive when u feel like this... I appreciate the help u give but its something i have been trying for 2 yeats now and honeslty i cant speak of good resultss...:/

@hocdgirlsummer Yeah not to mention the fact it is hard to distract yourself when that is what you're thinking about 24/7. It always finds away to seep in and steal all joy from you.

@Lina Exactly. Its everywhere, at the gym, at school, at the library. Its like this weird vibe thays allways around and poisons evrrywhere i go. I hate it. Everything i do is always covered in a layer hocd. I see the world trough hocd glasses. Everything is evolved around hocd. I hate going to places i used to love before having hocd. Bevause when i go there when i do have hocd i know imma ruin the memories and fun vines i had there with hocd and it will just be poisoned like everything else

@Ionut Lol im not tryna be the next gold medal olympic athleet i know. All im tryna do is enjoy something. I already am DOING all the things, working, going to school, working out like those things i dont have power over to choose to not do them or to do them. I just do them bevause i have to. But with hocd the whole Goal is to do something you genuinely enjoy and now that is the hardest shit ever because u cant force urself to enjoy Sometjing plus hocd Comes with no joy

So my OCD has been bad lately. I’ve been ruminating and obsessing over my sexuality again. And it just keeps getting worse. I hate it so much. I try to sit with the discomfort but then my ocd does the backdoor spike. And the groinal response is what keeps me looped. It SUCKS. I am not attracted to men, but my OCD is trying SO hard to convince me that I am. There have been days where I’m just so mentally exhausted that I “accept” what my ocd tells me and I just walk around a hollow, lethargic shell. But then I rethink it and I feel better. It feels like I can only find my TRUE self when I tire my nervous system out enough that it literally breaks down and has me suicidal and hopeless. And then accepting my OCD’s “truth” (that I’m attracted to men) feels like a burden and a chore. I woke up today from an OCD dream, tried to go back to sleep, and my stomach kept cramping bc I was so anxious and ruminating over my intrusive thoughts. I’m starting to doubt it being OCD anymore. My brain is too tired to fight and cry about it anymore.

I don’t know what to do with this bs anymore. I’m crying again and again and again and again. I cannot describe how painful this is. I’ve recovered from every single OCD subtype expect this one. HOCD is so scary and it’s so incredibly scary how it feels so real. The issue with this subtype is how intertwined it is with feelings and sensations. I hate how it keeps latching onto the past and uses the past as proof. I don’t want it to be the truth. I don’t want to accept any possibility.

I’ve recovered from HOCD before and got my attraction and my usual actual identity back. I was recovered from end 2022- start 2025 until I got triggered UGHHH😭 My HOCD is REALLY trying to convince me and it’s SO annoying cause I genuinely don’t want these thoughts. I know I naturally like men and always have done so. I can’t wait for my first therapy session in two days Omg! I need your advice, not necessarily reassurance, but more advice? My HOCD is throwing random “proof” I did/ saw as a child in my face, which back then had no meaning in my life and I continued to live a perfectly heterosexual life. I’ve educated myself about arousal non concordance / child’s play, but it still doesn’t remove the HOCD. I’ve read therapists great explanations on how it’s not a sexuality issue, BUT ITS AN OCD BRAIN ISSUE. So basically I’ve been straight and i will die as straight. But my ocd is still continuing with the intrusive thoughts/flashbacks. I’ve had some moments where I haven’t done as many compulsions and had less anxiety but still had those damn thoughts and I DO NOT want those damn thoughts. I have so much proof and factual/logical explanations but HOCD is still continuing to thrive. I absolutely hate this and I feel so alone. I wish there was a reset button cause I don’t want these thoughts to happen. I want a man and I stand by that. How do y’all deal with these situations? Cause sitting with the thoughts is clearly not helping.
