U have HOCD and ROCD. It’s always one of them and not both at the same time. I have a girlfriend which I love a lot and I’ve broken up with her two times because of Thoughts but I’m now with her. But sometimes it annoys me so much because sometimes on social media whenever I see a make on social media sometimes my thoughts tell me I think they are cute. Which is so damn annoying because I know I’m not gay and when I’m with my girlfriend I get horny when I’m with her and I think of no thoughts when I’m with her. What do you guys think about these thoughts ? Does anyone else have them?

Yeah true, but I like/love my girlfriend. She’s special to me

@Anonymous Good

@Peridottttt If you have thoughts how do you deal with them?

@Anonymous Oh I used to have Hocd and I was supposed to be treated for it by doing erp but I don’t know hocd is just not really a bother in my life anymore so I didn’t do erp, and I don’t think it’s “gone” but if it comes back it’s definitely mild or low.

@Peridottttt I first got it april of last year. When did u first get it and what did you do?

@Anonymous Mines started in 8th - 9th grade what do you mean what did I do?

@Peridottttt Like what did you do to not think about it a lot ? And how many years ago was 8th and 9th for you

@Anonymous I’m in 10th so hocd started 2 years ago and when I was in 8th and 9th grade I really didn’t try not to think about it matter of fact it was the opposite I always thought about it I always look at this one pretty girl and check if I was gay she was like a gay test for me. And I never really enjoyed school since I was surrounded by hocd. It started fading away when I talked openly about it and told my friends and they were really nice about it and also some part of it was a self reflection, like I know ocd isn’t gone and ocd will always be part of my life so I stop trying to fight it or feed into my thoughts because it’s a endless battle. I started to have other problems like friendship problems that swerve my attention to that instead of hocd. And hocd was like a home I lived in those “gay” thoughts and always check for resurrance, and it just became repetitive and boring so I stopped caring. And when I have ocd thoughts I don’t feed my attention to it as much as it is because I know many have thoughts just like me and I’m not alone. On another note, we are all terrified by ocd thoughts but by not fighting against it and standing your ground everything will subside. Just invison a big scary monster as your ocd thought when your ocd thoughts appear imagie your in a battle with that monster. How will you fight it? Don’t. The monster is bigger and stronger than you. Don’t start a fight with it, cause you have less health than him and you can die. Think of that like a game

@Peridottttt I’m in 10th too haha and my stuff started in 9th. Abs this is so true. Thank you for this. Really appreciate.

@Anonymous Hope I can help you with my advice

@Peridottttt Thank you!!
