Ughh I can’t keep reassuring you but honestly (no offense) your blind, obviously the thoughts and feelings keep giving you anxiety and telling you that you are in denial and that screams proof that you have hocd, and also every bodies hocd or even ocd is different, somebody could have more of a sexual hocd, som could have more of a romantic hocd, some could have both, all I’m saying is that this isn’t proof of anything at all, now plz try and not ruminate, it only worsens ocd

i am trying i really am. i was doing way better when i had finals and was preoccupied with that. now i am even questioning whether or not i like men. there's not that much anxiety it just bothers me i don't know anymore. i am so sorry for bothering you it just feels worse but not that bad at the same time(?)which makes me doubt what this is. i really am trying not to ruminate and to keep myself busy. sorry again, and tthnk you immensely for everything

@Nour04 You very welcome, and yoalso ur not a bother, I’m not annoyed whatsoever with you, I just hate seeing people slowly dig their own grave, which is what your doing when you ruminate yknow, I’m doing good but earlier I felt almost in love with my buddy, like idk I felt if he asked me out I would say yes, but yet again it felt kinda like anxiety so I guess I can’t know if it’s real lol, but besides ocd how are you doing?

This is just your OCD making you doubt. Trust me: If you weren't straight, you wouldn't be terrified of the idea of being with girls. Here's a tip: Use your imagination. Imagine yourself. And imagine the intrusive thoughts right next to you, visualize them as a shape or a colour or etc. And then, imagine how the thoughts keep going further and further away from you. My therapist recommended this method.

@Nour04 You're welcome :) I'm feeling quite weird today. My TOCD thoughts come and go and every single time they appear I feel so nauseous. Also because it's summer, I see a lot of half-naked men hanging outside and it makes me feel weird?? Like I get thoughts about wanting to touch them and be sexual with them, but it makes me feel uneasy, however I'm starting to think that I just can't accept the fact I wish to be with them, although I've never wanted to?? Strange.

@Lotte Hein yeah i get it it really does mess with your mind to the point where you can't tell whether or not you like it, maybe even become convinced you like it and want it. it's awful!

@Nour04 Don’t take people trying to help you as them being annoyed. The more you post the further you’re pushing recovery away

I think you really need to stop focusing and thinking about whether you feel attraction to whoever, once you stop worrying about that you'll relax more sis:)

Instead of posting (compulsion), I recommend watching nathan peterson, they call me jesse, or allie greymond on youtube. They can help educate you better on how to deal with this

Hocd is literally a clown in my head.
Like I can’t think straight. This is making me doubt everything I’ve thought about myself and even makes me feel like I like the thoughts when I know I don’t. Like I would be less anxious at a time while I still have the thoughts and my mind would go “oh so you like it you must be gay” or the other one where I’m not anxious and I think of my attraction for girls that I’ve had my whole life and my mind goes “see now you’re not into them you’re gay” like it’s so stupid but so effective. I clearly remember being into girls my whole life but my mind is making me believe that all these attractions and feelings for women were all fake or “a thing of the past”. But I can still get aroused by women but I have this weird anxiety going on which brings these sensations/feelings and it’s so weird. Today I’ve spent my whole day thinking about it like I’ve been doing for 5 months now. I know that this aint normal but my mind just won’t let me live in peace. I never cared about my sexuality cuz I simply liked women my whole life but now my sexuality is a fundamental philosophy. I hate this.

acceptance
it feels like i accepted being gay and thats part of who i am but i still feel that tension and fake attraction whenever i see a man and i feel like i could be able to have a sexual intercourse with a man even though i dont want it is it still hocd or just denial? like i am feeling okey but there is still that doubt that how can i know that im not gay if i dont get disgusted by gay things or gay personality traits and at the same time i want to feel normal again like before
