HOCD feels to real and I don’t feel like myself , I feel like I’ve turned bisexual and I wanna die

@pure093 It took me about a few months to fully overcome it, but as I used the treatment methods it did become easier.

@pure093 I never felt that way before, It was such a sudden change. I also felt a huge amount of anxiety and it was constantly on my mind.

@Beetle juice Same with me

@That1girl It started when I saw a gay dating app advertisement. Then there was a sudden feeling of anxiety and I began asking myself what if I was gay. It was very random and didn’t make much sense at the time. The month after that I didn’t know what is was and I kept telling my self I wasn’t gay and I was trying to prove to myself I wasn’t gay. Of course these are all compulsions but at the time I never knew. one day I decided to google my symptoms in a moment of desperation and luckily I saw some article about hocd. Then I went on YouTube and searched how to treat it and found a video of someone teaching the acceptance method. I began using this method and within another month I began to have control over my life again. It looks so stupid to me now but at the time it was so real. Let me know if you have any questions??

@Beetle juice Did u ever think what if u like it and what if thought alike that, and also I’ve lost all attacks to girls and my brains saying I like it that way and stuff, but at first t made me feel sick

@frghtfdfh All the time. When those thoughts come in, you have to accept the thoughts even though they are not a true reflection of you. When I was going through Hocd I lost all the feelings I had towards women and stuff I would normally enjoy

@Beetle juice Did it ever make you feel like you liked the thoughts?

@That1girl Yup. When you are going through Hocd your thoughts are not a reflection of you.

@Beetle juice I have no attraction or anything and my head saying what if I want to be it it and what if

@frghtfdfh When those thoughts come, the acceptance method is the best things for it. Say to yourself “ maybe I do like this” or “ maybe I am”. It is hard but the more you do it the less anxiety you will get and the thoughts won’t come as much.

@Beetle juice But what does it mean if u don’t get anxiety

Really appreciate it, but I think my case is different. Now I don’t have The urge to get a gf like I used to. It’s making me think I’m reallly bi??

@Slat208 Same thing here and it’s telling me I like it and want to he gay

@Slat208 I went through that, I felt no interest in women. Say to yourself “ maybe I am bi”. You will have lots of anxiety but you have to sit through and it will go. Keep repeating this every time the thought come, Go towards the anxiety not away from it.

@Beetle juice But I don’t get anxiety most of the time, that’s why it feels so real, I used to get it

@Beetle juice Yeah I have no more anxiety really and I’ve had it for 10 months

@frghtfdfh When my anxiety went, I kept myself occupied and whenever the thoughts came I carried on using the acceptance method

@Slat208 It makes me feel like I like the thoughts and when I say I don’t want it makes me feel like I’m lying

@frghtfdfh Saying you don’t want it is a compulsion and will create an endless cycle.

@pure093 If you get the thought of “what if you like it”. Say to yourself “maybe I do” and carry on with what you are doing. When I was going through Hocd I also lost all lust for women, but your lust for women will return.

@Beetle juice Is this normal?, I have HOCD and it’s the worst thing I’ve ever had but when I say a girls attractive my OCD says that I say that cause I’m transgender and want to be her and it really makes me bamboozled

@Slat208 Yep, it’s completely normal. It will start with one unwanted thought and then it will branch off into different thoughts. It is important when the next thoughts come in you should just accept them aswell. Try not to analyse them or think too deeply about them.

@Beetle juice Sometimes it feels like I’m gonna be it and like it, like I don’t even know at first I felt sick and disgusted

@frghtfdfh Keep yourself occupied, When they do come into your mind accept them. Also make sure you are looking after your mental health properly. Getting plenty of exercise and sleep and also try mindfulness meditation. You may not see the changes straight away but it really does help overall and in the long run.
