So my mate showed me a picture of his dick and i got all hot and botherd and said look at that in my mind. And this morning all i could think about is naked men in the shower and certain attractive celebrities naked and i will say stuff in my head 😞. Please tell me im not alone ?

Cheers mate. I just get these thoughts constantly thinking about men avoiding them. And my mind tries telling me i dont like women and pussy and i end argueing with myself 😞

@Ihateocd83 I get thought too that counter who I truly am. I would say I am straight, but then I hear a voice in my head that says “I’m gay” then I freak out and start thinking. It sucks. I haven’t gone to the a therapist, but I am going to soon. But how I dealt with those thought is by separating me from my mind. It’s hard to explain but this is how I see the picture. *note this is not a proven system or anything, this is just what I do to help myself. This is just an opinion or option that I chose to do* I separate me from my mind. This means that I separate me from anything that my mind starts the wonder off to. There’s like two people in your brain. One that knows who I truly are and the other who wonders off (this is basically the one who hurts you). I know myself so I trust what I believe I am, and I don’t listen to the other mind. The mind that wonders off and has a mind of its own, makes up fake questions, or that just tries to hurt you. Think of it like the Angle and a Demon on your shoulder. You must trust the Angle because that is who knows you best. The angle is the you. This method is basically to know who to trust, but that hardest part is that sometimes you don’t even know who is the angle or the demon. Just know that any tricks your mind tries to pull or anything that your mind is telling you that you don’t agree with, is the demon one. So you can be safe to not trust that one. *again this is a method that I made up, it’s not a proven method, but it is one that I tried and it helped me a little to isolate the enemy from within*

@T money Ive gotten in so deep with this its like i feel more gay than straight and i hate it. Like i dont know how the fuck i am 😞

@Ihateocd83 I had similar feelings too, but I overcame that because a girl that I liked reminded me of who I actually am. But I can tell you this. Picture yourself without hocd, without your mind, without your thoughts. Just picture a human body that is you looking at a phone. Do you see that person naturally looking at photos of women? You may have your answer. But what if you don’t and you pictured a men, how did you feel about that? If you felt distressed, cringe, or disgusted, then that is more likely because you are straight. *note these are just my thoughts and opinions. And this is just how I view it*

@Ihateocd83 But hey man. I suggest you talk to a therapist who can really help you. I have been in this deep too. I feel like I’m going crazy because of hocd. I can’t even go to the outside world a socialize without questioning myself. I’m getting a therapist soon and I suggest you should too. Let’s not let hocd consume us. It’s best if we cut it out of our lives sooner than later. I chose to resolve it myself, but all it did was get worse over time. Help is what we both need bruv. Let’s end the war in our head.

@T money I have had cbt 4 sessions. And im on 60mg of flouxetine back on it for 3 months now

@T money Thanks for your help mate
