Before i was officially diagnosed with OCD, I was in the worst mental agony of my life, went to see a therapist and expressed my Homosexual thoughts, I was shaking and he said to me... "The reason why you are feeling like this is because you're repressing your true identity" Also said... "Until to decide to come out and give the Gay lifestyle, you will always be miserable" That was an absolutely horrid day, i actually believed him, it felt like torture. And then months later, went to a therapist that knew about OCD and immediately she knew I had most of the symptoms of OCD, what a relief.

I still doubt this myself nicolep123, it's scares the heck out of me. "maybe I'm in denial" "maybe OCD is just a cover up" Never ends.....

Oh my god I’m so glad @nicolep123 and @AhmedH feel the same was as me, I’m petrified of therapy because the last time I went the therapist told me exactly the same that I am repressing my homosexuality and have been all my life. You don’t understand the pain and anxiety this causes a person. Many a time I feel so down and believe that he’s right and I should just let the ocd consume me but that’s not right either. I’m hoping my next therapist (I’m going next week) will help me deal with OCD rather than call me gay.

If it gets really really bad and you feel like it’s overwhelming you should see a psychologist or therapist because although talking about it helps it won’t get rid of the problem entirely.

This is exactly how someone with HOCD would feel. So it makes total sense! Ive had many many confused therapists about ocd. So Just try and remember as much as you can that YOU know you have hocd and ocd no matter what the therapist says. But I hope it goes well ! you’re awesome for going to therapy and very brave. I’m excited for you. Therapy has helped me so much!

I’m a bit scared of starting therapy too (with this fear of not being diagnosed). I think it’s pretty common!

Yes it's normal to be scared of that if you have OCD. I would note that someone who specializes in OCD treatment will likely not offer you reassurance that you're not bi as it makes it worse over time because our minds can't handle uncertainty and it becomes a compulsion to seek reassurance. But if you do have OCD they will help you learn to handle it and shouldn't be just jumping to the conclusion you're bi and just need to soul search either

Me too, as someone said to me... if you were Gay you wouldn’t be obsessing and deliberating constantly and you would be excited to explore you’re sexuality

I've gotten diagnosed with OCD and I'm in therapy. But I'm worried that I don't have OCD/that I got misdiagnosed. And recently I'm worried that I've just gotten myself into a habit of thinking of dirty minded or just plain old terrible things after I see/hear certain things because I feel like I need to prove I have OCD or else I'm faking(sometimes this goes away). Or that I'm just mimicking symptoms of ocd to cope with real problems I may have and that im just really deep into denial. I don't know...I'm just so tired. I mean, what if I really am what I think I am and this is my brains only way of coping? I don't even really feel anything towards most of the thoughts anymore either I just know they go against my values and I don't want them. I don't know if that's because I'm so mentally exhausted, I just don't care, or that the thoughts are true and I'm comfortable with them.

I’ve had so many moments of clarity with my OCD that I love my boyfriend and I’m beyond willing to go through this to be better and be with him. in the back of mind I’ve in a way known I was at least somewhat sexually attracted to women (I’m a woman) since the start of the ocd it was always like “okay. Fine, but I don’t want to date a girl” I only just realized this after the ocd started, I never really argued with this. my ocd has always revolved around if I’m romantically interested in women and not men. I’ve done so many compulsions through this year and a half and 9 times out of 10 have come to the conclusion that I don’t want to be with a woman romantically. I always end up feeling like I know I love my boyfriend. But the doubts don’t stop about whether I want to spend my life with a woman instead, my heart literally breaks to think of not being with my bf and imagining him with someone else. I don’t want to be with a woman I know deep down somewhere underneath the anxiety that that’s not what I want. It doesn’t feel natural for me, unfulfilling. I want to tell my boyfriend about the possible sexual attraction to women (ik it’s still ocd related) but I’m scared that once I tell him, I’ll realize that I actually do want to be with women and not with him. Ugh I’ve spent hours today ruminating about this after being solid in my commitment with him for a little while, I’m stuck in this loop and idk how to get out right now

I am extremely nervous for my first session with a NOCD therapist. I feel myself tapping and counting more, what if he doesn’t like me? What if I’m not open enough? What if I talk too much? What if I tell things I don’t want to tell. Is this the right platform for OCD/ROCD ? Can’t sleep.
