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.
Thanks dawg
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 exactly how I'm feeling right now! I was doing so well then out of the blue I'm back at it :(
That’s the nature of the beast I’m afraid.
I’m constantly thinking about hocd thoughts. What if I’m gay? What if you like her? Blah blah things like that, I can’t tell if it’s ocd anymore. Like deep down I know, and some days I know all the time I’m straight. I don’t like girls, I never have. So why can’t I just get it through my head? I’m tired of it. I literally can’t tell anymore
Ok... I was doing good until a few weeks ago. I really was making a lot of progress until a few weeks ago. Backdoor spikes turned up and ocd came back with full force. Or at least I think it's ocd... I hope it is. My theme is hocd, by the way. I try to not give the thoughts much attention, but they're making me mad. It feels so real, and when I see coming out stories it just adds up, as if I should come out too. It terrifies me, every day I think about wanting to die, to not wake up, to cease existing. It's been so draining, and so lonely. I don't want to be in the closet, I don't want to have romantic relationships with women. And ocd makes me question why that: because of my morals? What if your sexuality goes deeper than your morals and you're just denying you like women? Maybe you should try it out, you'd like it. This scares me so. much. And the thing is: I watch same sex porn. It turns me on. I've seen on the internet many women actually watch same sex porn, but ocd makes me question if my case isn't different from other women. All the time I'm worried that I'll just lose control and kiss any woman that's by my side. I haven't had any experience with men either, as I'm reserved and a hopeless romantic (high expectations). I've liked men before, though, and I still have many crushes today. Ocd tries to convince me this is just a cover up. This is just destroying my life. This is daily torture, I can't imagine myself living with this forever. What am I supposed to tell my eventual boyfriend, my husband? How am I supposed to have children in this state of mind? What if some day I just snap out of this and actually realize I'm gay? What if this question is actually me already admitting that I am in fact gay? Honestly, it's too much. This was quite hard to write, and I tried to include here as much as possible of my insecurities. If you read till here I'm grateful. Just wanted to say that I DON'T have anything against gay people, even though they're making me very anxious since this all started, which adds up to my endless collection of intrusive thoughts (it makes me think I'm in denial because of some prejudice).
Yesterday was another ocd day. Even if I try hard these thoughts come again and again. I am afraid all the time that ocd will never leave me. I feel angry all the time as I feel like I am stupid and i cannot control these thoughts. Why is it so hard to get over these thoughts? Even when I don't have intrusive thoughts I feel numb and scared. It's like I live in a constant darkness and can't see the light anymore. I feel like I am the worst and most stupid person alive because i allow these thoughts to come in and destroy me. Is it gonna be like that forever????
