so you have HOCD? If you are constantly having repetitive thoughts fearing about being gay or if you are always aware of your actions and how you feel around certain people etc it could most likely be hocd, it could also be denial, which is the confusing thing about it all because OCD can twist you around and make you believe or feel things that don't reflect the real person you are and it sounds really tough. It's hard to figure out everything when you feel this way. I wish I could help you but there is really nothing I can do except be here for you, if you ever want anyone to listen to how you feel, you can always talk to me! . Life seems pointless at times, and trust me I've felt the same thing but I really hope you stay. You can't force a positive mindset but you can always try and do things that make you happy each day, you might not have the motivation but surround yourself with people who give off positive energy and people who lift you up, music really helps me and it seems so tough to get your mind off things when your mind is constantly racing with thoughts but try your best. I'm not telling you to ignore the situation or to stop thinking about it cause i know how annoying it is when people say things like that but I really hope the best for you. The only thing that you can do right now to move a step closer to feeling better is to seek help from a psychiatrist or someone specialised in hocd therapy if that is what you think you have because they can help you feel better. I'm so proud of how far you've come, stay strong <3

Hey - you need to try and refocus on other activities. Accept the thoughts and carry on doing normal activities. And seek therapy!

Thankyou. Im just terrified its denial. I never had 1 gay thought until i was 22 all of a suddenly after a night out with freinds it was like bang! Your gay. Ive been on flouxetine for 16 years only 20mg after a rough summer all them years ago. I was copeing well still having thoughts but was able to brush them off and lead a fairly normal and happy life. And Ive always loved women probably more than i ever could. Im 37 now and i stoped my medication for 3 months recently and my whole world has been turned upside down I cant function properly and im depressed. Ive started back on the medication for about 2 and a half months now and i dont feel any better yet im up to 60mg now so scared this is it for me. This is with me all day in everything i do and say i feel like giving up

Flouxetine is 1 of the best tho ive heard. Is it normal for your attraction to women to fall off the planet. I hate this

I understand i hate my ocd too. If your 37 and have loved women your whole life i don't believe all of a sudden u would lose attraction. Ocd isn't logical and what your going through doesn't seem logical

Youโre looking for reassurance but we canโt give you that. Go back to your doctor - discuss medication and therapy. Read a self help book and try and put into practice some of the guidance. I KNOW how hard it is but you have to try and refocus and do something else.

wrote a very triggering post. this wasnt supposed to happen. im starting to believe that i'm a ****phile that suppress its feelings. "Our brains are wired to respond to certain stimuli, like attractiveness, quickly and automatically. This can happen even if we don't consciously want to feel that way. In your case, the combination of the trigger and your brain's automatic reaction might have contributed to the discomfort you felt." but it's wrong. it wasnt supposed to happen. it shouldn't be allowed in my brain to perceive the look of attractiveness in the legs and body of someone that looked so young... i didnt have desire for it though. i was disturbed and distressed when it happened and as i felt and noticed this perception and reaction. it's crazy to think that none of this would have happened if i didnt trigger myself in 2021 at 16 years old.

Ive also realized... if it's my own fault I have POCD and Real Events OCD to begin with... because of the genuinely horrible real events I've done... then why should I even feel any ounce of sympathy for myself? I don't feel sorry for myself because why would I feel sorry for something I hate? It's my fault right? I did this to myself so I face the consequences... thats how the world works right? I did so many bad things as a teen, so the karma finally catches up to me... right? So yeah... I deserve this... all of this... it's so funny... thinking I deserve a happy life... its all just one big joke... my life is a joke... but jokes at least have a purpose and make people laugh. People do laugh. At me, and not with me. So yeah. I deserve this. All of this. I accept it. I accept it all. Come take me god. Cause I dont want to be here in this world anymore.
