Just agree with the thought and make it worse. By saying yup I’m totally gay, yup that’s one sexy ass motherfucker right there you’re so right hocd I really want to kiss this person. Hocd is an obsession when you have an obsession you’re going to think about it so just keep thinking about it and agreeing with it until your obsession passes and your mind drifts back to what is actually happening. It is a thought process that is triggered by what you fear as well as what you see and honestly without even knowing about it you can be triggered by something other than the exact thing you fear as well and you wouldn’t even know it. I get triggered by the actions I’m doing. Like for instance my thought process of Hocd gets triggered when I’m working out not from seeing someone because I workout in my room with nobody in there and because I’ve put it in my head to think about it when I workout I have the thought process to think about it during my entire workout and the only time it subsides is when the activity of the workout just makes me too tired to even think about it because my body is literally exhausted and my mind is focused on how tired I am than worrying about my Hocd. Obviously my OCD is really bad if something other than the actual thing you fear brings your attention to think about it but that’s just cuz I have been diagnosed with really bad OCD to where things other than my actual fear trigger my obsession this may not be the case for you. So just stop and think when your actually thinking about your hocd and note it and was it actually just caused because you saw the actual fear by seeing a person or did something else triggered your thought process? And again it is just a thought process you have put in your head and has nothing to do with your sexuality at all but because you have OCD that’s why you’re having an intrusive thought hope this helps.

Unfortunately the harder we try to push away the thoughts the stronger it stays. The best way is to see it as an Ocd thought and ignore it. It’s definitely easier said than done but when you react to it, you give that thought a meaning, an “importance”. If you see an ugly carpet you might think “ugly carpet” but you won’t think beyond that because you’re not putting any meanings or actions. And therefore the ugly carpet thought is just that. It doesn’t make you an ugly person. And the thought eventually dissipate.

This is so extremely difficult, i’ve never experienced having thoughts of being a different gender. i’ve always been comfortable being a girl. i’ve always been a girly girl. this all started a couple months ago and it’s increasingly getting worse. i’ve had times where i didn’t like my body but i always thought i could just go to the gym and fix it, never did i think i wanted to be a man. ever since these thoughts started i hate looking at myself in the mirror, i hate looking at my body, i’m aware of my breasts all day everyday, i can’t look at pictures/ videos of myself. from the moment i wake up to the second i go to sleep i have these thoughts. i’m in a panic EVERYDAY. i don’t want to be trans but my thoughts are convincing me i do. i’ve never bat an eye when someone calls me a girl but now it’s like i’m aware of it which i hate. i hate that i’m having these thoughts & it’s convincing me that i want them & that i have to just come out and change. i want to be able to go back to being comfortable as a girl. this has left me feeling so hopeless and depressed, i can’t help but cry every day. has anyone else felt like their whole world was turned upside down?

harm ocd is the bane of my existence. people always tell me that if you have anxiety over a thought, that’s ocd. and these intrusive thoughts cause me IMMENSE anxiety. i’m constantly looking for reasons why i’m not what these thoughts tell me i am. but WHY DOES IT FEEL SO REAL?? it’s like i can’t reassure myself that this isn’t me and i don’t want to do it, but i also look for reasons why it’s not me. my brain is constantly telling me “if you don’t act on this, you’ll never feel free”. WHAT EVEN IS THAT?? and why does it feel real?? anytime i think about getting therapy, i constantly think that it’s not going to help me positively but help me realize i am this person. i just wish someone with harm ocd could get into my brain, understand me, and tell me everything will be okay. i wish someone in recovery could tell me that they’ve been where i am, felt the same feelings, thought the same thoughts, and got through it when they thought they wouldn’t. i feel like i’m drowning in it. another thing is i think about how my mom knows a surface level understanding to this form of my ocd, but if she knew it all, i’m scared she’d never look at me the same. i’m scared she’d be scared of me and think i need psychiatric help. IM TERRIFIED.

hey guys, i’m almost fully healed in my socd journey but what’s stopping me is the false atractions. i get them almost 24/7 at this point and to every thing. they feel real and i hate them they make me feel disgusted. they also make me feel like hot and gross but then i see people saying thats what attractions feel like, but i have felt so much attraction to the opposite gender pre all of this and it felt nice and enjoyable not digustinf. i’m also getting false memory trying to show me ‘signal’ from my childhood to prove i’m gay amd i truly don’t know if they’re real. it’s so degrading and at this point i feel like govining up. pelesse if you have any advice or even if your going through the same thing just let me know. ocd is so terrible
