I had stopped playing drums(my number one passion) due to fear of wood chips making me go blind. Fear of touching grease. Fear of metal flaking. I stopped riding dirt bikes due to fear of dust. Stopped hanging out with people due to fear of contamination from toxic chemicals. Stopped going on walks outside even in nature due to fear of needles and broken glass(I live in Portland so there is lots of it.) but I’m happy to report after 5 NOCD sessions I have done and enjoyed all of these things at least a few times and will continue doing them more. Even when I was still able to do them in the past I couldn’t focus cause I was still worried. Now it feels like I’m doing these things better than ever

I used to love to be in my mind and create stories about characters and drawing them. I was sure it was what I was going to pursue for the rest of my life, but ever since this hit I just haven’t been able to and I feel like I almost don’t want to anymore. It sucks because I really did love it more than anything and I was getting really excited about the future. For once I thought I had a direction and clear vision of my future but now I’m just stuck barely getting through the day.. :(

@markleepleasemarryme I can’t bring myself to mention it to anyone. Especially since I’m not sure whether or not it’s ocd :( Thank your kind words though. ❤️ Sometimes I just feel like I’m going to be stuck feeling like this forever. ?

I feel like I’ve had a lot of different categories of ocd. Some categories stick with me more and are repetitive. I’ve been doing well with mental health - not having anxiety stick around. When the physical feeling of anxiety sticks around, every thought is horrible, but when the feeling of anxiety is gone the obsessions don’t really impact me. If I can keep anxiety at bay, my life is good. I’ve been doing well lately, although this week I was scrolling through tictok and watched a video about someone in a coma and wondered if I was in a coma right now and didn’t know it. I had a panic attack for about 15 minutes. Anxiety, sweating, etc. It didn’t take ahold of me and it quickly lost its impact on me. It still shook me and I was just like “wow” where did that come from. Now I am staying away from social media. Is that avoidance? Should I make myself keep watching social media? Many ocd problems have come from social media or watching a movie or show that triggers something and then spirals. I am limiting what I watch, which I believe is good because I shouldn’t be watching that stuff anyway. What do you think?

I’ve been struggling with HOCD for years, and it started with an intrusive thought about being gay when I was younger. It came up at age 12 and ever since, I’ve been trapped in a cycle of doubt and anxiety. I obsess over whether or not I’m secretly gay, even though I don’t feel that way at all. What makes it worse is the fear that I might have internalized homophobia, and that’s why I’m having these obsessive thoughts. I worry that my anxiety is a sign that I’m repressing something or rejecting part of myself. It feels like my mind keeps repeating the same question—am I gay?—and no matter how much reassurance I get, the fear doesn’t go away. I used to pray for my family members, fearing that if I didn’t, something bad would happen to them, and now it feels like I have to control these thoughts, or something will go wrong. For a while, it was quieter, but a week ago, the thoughts spiraled up again, and now the anxiety feels overwhelming again. It’s exhausting, and I don’t know how to break free from this constant loop of doubt. Has anyone dealt with the fear of internalized homophobia alongside HOCD? How do you manage the anxiety that comes with it?

Need some advice please. I'm trying to fix my social anxiety, self esteem and confidence but ocd infests itself and makes me I had all these issues because I my ocd was true all along. For example, Im extremely uptight/awkward around people and have a fear of being judged, laughed at or seen through, fear of not being liked etc. One cause of this I read is it's because i suppressed my real self/feelings and pretended to put on a fake mask to be liked by others/fit in and now that im older that mask is breaking and causing me disconnect from my real self. My hocd inserts itself and makes me feel because I was gay all along without knowing it is why it happened. It genuinely feels like that's the case but then I feel dreaded and depressed because it feels so real I'm ready to accept that scenario. But back then I didnt think I could have been gay or anything. Im not sure how to handle this difficulty. Please any advice?
