HOCD is so similar to the lgbt questioning/coming out process. It’s been so hard not to obsess today

@pure093 I think a lot of OCD is about identity; sexual, moral, physical - these are things that we form unconsciously as we grow up and are intrinsic but very complex parts of ourselves which is why I think ocd targets them

@pure093 It is cruel! But there’s many worse things in the world; this is what we have - so we do what we have to do to cope with it, and hopefully at one point thrive, despite OCD.

@pure093 I feel like OCD is trying to scrub my identity like I keep seeing women and thinking they are attractive but with men its automatic and feels right . Its very difficult for me because I am still a virgin and I think women get sexualized by society so much and not just by men but by other women too . Feminists police our bodies just as much and I dont wanna offend the LGBT community but on social media and online quizzes lgbt women claim all women are bi and not straight and to me when women say they question their sexual orientation people say GO FOR IT but when it comes to women and heterosexuality I feel like modern feminism puts fear in our hearts when ut comes to men ... atleast its my observation . I questioned my sexuality many times not knowing I had a disorder and thank god I suspected it and I finally got diagnosed yesterday . I cry at how frightening that was because I could have been living a life I didnt really want but felt obligated to and it could have made things worse for me .

@pure093 And its scary to open up because ppl think OCD is just contamination and organizing they have no idea . I thought that until HOCD almost destroyed my life . I still didnt tell anyone about my HOCD in my family cuz many of them already thought I was gay .

@Gotmyocdinachokehold I agree I cannot go on any app or turn on my tv without seeing a semi-naked woman and it’s not something I ever even noticed until OCD (I’m a virgin as well and it’s been ssoooooooooo difficult)

@pure093 Alot of people thought / think that because I am still a virgin not everyone though .
