Say this to yourself : "Everybody will die one day, including me. If I don't stop thinking this shit, I might be the first one to die in my family. No! I dont need to worry. I'm a strong woman/girl. This is actually making me weaker. No I dont need to think about it. I'll spend my life beautifully with my family members, before they die, so to do that I must first kick away this shit (OCD)..." AND... Stop your compulsions.. Stop your reviews... Stop feeding your thoughts... Stop focusing on your thoughts.. Let them just fk off...for they don't give you any shit... If you get that thought, just laugh on it...make jokes on it... And do the things exactly opposite to your compulsion... Be strong...don't overthink... YOU CAN DO...

Meditate... When you meditate, you will be focusing on the present...you stop giving a fk about what happens in future and then getting anxious and ruining your present and complete life... Welcome positive healthy thoughts...listen to good music...

The best way to cure is by believing that you are normal. Believe that, you are totally normal and fine and strong reduces the chance of compulsions.. JUST be yourself that's it...

Everybody does it. But if it is not an OCD. Then this app is useless for you... Are you obsessed with that thought? Are you performing any compulsions to put it off? Ask yourself!

This helps you a lot mam! Lemme tell you my experience... I've met a boy on internet as a friend. I was always an introvert. He shared his story of being raped by a man and he later turned gay (Although this is mostly fake, he might be going through PTSD). I was a weak minded, overthinking idiotic guy. I was disturbed by his story. I was disturbed, anxious and stressed. I felt the drop of testosterone levels in me (temporary). On the day1, I felt disgusting while looking at men of all ages. Day 2, reduced attraction to opposite gender. Day 3 - Hit with HOCD. Until 5th day, I didn't understood my situation and my research helped me. I felt like, "I always dreamt of being an inspiration for boys in good character and attitude, but am I becoming gay? Man...I never dreamt of this shit (no offence)... My life...going to be destroyed?? I also dreamt of love marrying a girl and then having a happy life..." First 4 days were almost like nofap Flatline. Also, I attempted maaany gender test, "am I gay" tests in Google. BUT On day 5, I have researched on my condition and I have found it as Homosexual Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (HOCD) or "fear of being gay". I've also researched on "What is OCD?"..."why it happens?" Etc etc... And I have also learnt about the cure called "Exposure response prevention". The main aim is to break the chain between Obsession and Compulsion. See, when you react to an obsession to put it off, your mind relaxes and releases chemicals. And you sking mind want it to happen again and again. So, it repeatedly causes obsession in the form of "intrusive thoughts" and you keep on reacting to it and it releases chemicals and it becomes exactly like an addiction. When you deny compulsion, you brain says..."oh okay...sorry...no chemicals". And this OCD chain breaks away. I used this technique for a month added with motivation, willpower, confidence and optimism. Music helped me alot! After a month...believe me...75% of symptoms disappeared.

wow good job!! that’s amazing that you managed to get through it all by yourself, i do have an understanding of how the obsessions work but quitting reassurance and mental review has been really difficult i know i’m capable of it but it takes a lot of willpower but i definitely do not wanna deal with anymore obsessions and take my life back so i’m gonna do my best to quit them once and for all!
