That’s good , maybe you learnt to let the thoughts be there and they don’t bother you anymore. That’s a win keep it up

Thanks. I thought I need to do erp for 3 months but it seems to not affect me no more. But it’s weird cause everyone tells me to do erp, but I didn’t and I still beat my fear

Not being anxious is a good thing , your body can’t withstand long term Anxiety. With that being said I would continue seeing your specialist and make sure you follow every tip they give you . Have you tried acceptance by any chance ? You aren’t accepting that you are you are just accepting the possibility. In doing this you allow yourself to let any emotion / Thought happen and not let it affect you. Remember: Thoughts and Feelings don’t define who you are , it’s your actions.

ERP isn’t the only solution , CBT is another one as well or even sometimes (which I reckon has happened to you ) your mind is bored of it and let it go

How long did you have your hocd? Did you just let the thoughts play out in your mind every time until they didn’t bother you

I had hocd for 2 years then I started liking boys back and when I see a pretty girl, I joke and say she’s hot or I’m gay asf. Now when I see a pretty girl like camila Cabello I just admire her no worries going through my head

Weirdly I didn't do anything either. ERP never really worked for me and I just did some meditation and like self-resistance methods to control anxiety

Yeah strange.. I thought erp would be the only way to fix this but I fixed it myself

@Peridottttt Lol we found our own ways. But honestly speaking I really think recovery is when we become comfy with ourselves and our thoughts and to do that I don't think ERP is *that* necessary. Still I have the anxiety but not as bad as it was before

@hateocd Could also be regarded as HOCD if you hate they thoughts and have the fear of becoming another sexual orientation

@hateocd Yeah it's HOCD, I get intrusive thoughts about girls too :(. But try not to dwell too much and say "fuck it, whatever" whenever you get an intrusive thought and try approaching your real life fears like talking to a girl
