Can hocd make you say stuff in your head or to yourself. Does anyone else get this ?

It tells me that “ you want to be gay or bisexual”

It tells I mean. That's what OCD does. Some worry. Just avoid looking for answers and compulsions.

you answer them, yeah? Like trying to show that you are not gay, or you like women.

Let it then. Just comment like: "yeah maybe i dont like woman. Maybe I'm gay."

Just find therapist. If you cant. Do the thing i say. It really helps. I understand you man, dont worry it will all pass one day

@agriculturalindustries Can you guys please help me with my posts please? I’m getting false attractions and butterfly in the stomach type feelings for one of my friends and I don’t like it.

@SOOCD As I said. Find a therapist immediately. If you can't, just avoid compulsions. Don't look for answers. Don't look for certainty. Just live. Don't give any answers to thoughts.

@agriculturalindustries But these are false attractions man. And they feel genuine please help me

@SOOCD what do you mean by false attractions?

@agriculturalindustries Butterfly in the stomach type feelings and stomachaches.

@SOOCD Are these attractions? Man, you just overthinking. Ignore them, they mean nothing.

@agriculturalindustries I honestly hope so. I can’t take it anymore

Can you help with my post man? I greatly need it

But why does my HOCD keep producing butterflies in the stomach around my friend? And stomachaches after? I can’t fucking take this

@SOOCD Guys, I have battled HOCD and some others for years. I have worked with the top psychologist in the state, studied for years, and now use faith and medicine to add to my ocd toolbox. I could write and talk for days on what you/we go through on a daily basis in the mind. Some days, it’s full out war. Am I right? The thing that’s hard to recognize with the way our brains are built is the what thoughts are rational and which we should ignore. It is a physical (chemical) imbalance at the core of the problem. There are many things to do to stop the pattern little by little. From erp, meditation, faith etc. Medication is something I was sort of against in the beginning of my journey with ocd, but now I have changed my mindset. By putting in the work to get to know my ocd from the start, it built me a strong base to now add medication to that strong base of therapy. OCD is a monster that will try to steal joy out of every moment in life. I think what helps me the most is realizing that the content of ocd is irrelevant. If we look at the reasearch, you’re not alone! Many others struggle with same and even many different tough ocd themes to manage. Heck, I remember I went a full year worrying every moment about my own nipples😂 I laugh now because that was a theme for me in my past and now ocd morphed. So try to be positive as much as possible, take the focus off yourself, and know that you will overcome and be able to handle anything that ocd brings your way. Don’t fight it. We have a gifted mind, just have to learn how to use it💪🏼💯 have faith and keep workin hard on your values

I also use them. But they only help for getting rid of anxiety, they don't just destroy all the obsessions. But it gives you to stop looking answers. Sometimes accepting that you are gay helps too. Because just saying that I'm gay don't make people gay. But it makes obsessions less important

@agriculturalindustries Very great point and mindset my dude 🙏👏
