sure it's a backdoor spike not just real denial? i can't tell if it's me talking or the ocd. like if it's a genuine "gut feeling" of mine that this is denial. plus i seem fine i don't have anxiety anymore which makes me concerned. i am trying not to engage with the thoughts and it feels like denial. whenever i do a compulsion it feels like i want it. thoughts come less during the day, hit hard during the night because i am busy during the day and dismiss them. but why does it feel like i want it??? and why do i feel no anxiety? is this even ocd???

That feeling is just awful. Because deep down you feel the fear so closed.

@mike7777 it all feels like i want it and if i say i don't it feels like a lie. how can this still be ocd and not genuine denial???

@Nour04 You can't, I recommend to you a video of Chrissie talking about this, she started to talk about this in the minute 9 or 10. https://youtu.be/q2-_UUff3fo

@mike7777 can it get so real to the point where i am conviced this is denial? like totally convinced? like i would say "yes this is ocd" and then say "bro this is just denial this is totally denial" and i feel like that thought is mine and like i am truly convinced this is denial. i can't even tell if i don't want the thoughts anymore. i actually believe it's denial

I’m not going to reassure you. Do the ERP. Gut feelings don’t exist when you have OCD. ERP ERP ERP

You wouldn't know. That is the HOCD. But some therapists say that when that happens it is because the OCD is trying to survive and you come back to the loop of trying to figure out about yourself. The problem is that idk what's the next step. That is why a therapist is necessary. Pffff... It is sucks.

Because it is affecting your brain. The OCD is like a virus. A virus affects all the functions in a computer. So your brain is programmed to work in that way, but the OCD affect the way of your brain is programming and all its parts like thoughts, feeling, sexual response, dreams, etc. So the somehow the ERP try to reprogramming your brain manually.

@Nour04 Yeah, Think about this, you watch a girl and automatically you think on your OCD, then you have doubts, then you start to think that you feel something, and so on. So the thing is that you are conditioning by the OCD. Back in the days, you watched a girl and she was irrelevant. And she was beautiful you didn't have problem to admit it. The problem is that now when you find a girl beautiful the OCD creates doubts about it and so on.

Hocd (recovery or ocd in controll?)
I haven't had anxiety for 1 week, I haven't had so many thoughts, but when it comes to sexuality I feel discomfort and I feel like something is pressing on my chest, it's very disturbing, and I still have attraction (false I hope), I wasn't diagnosed with hocd but I had all the symptoms, (now I don't have anxiety anymore, except when a feeling that I'm gay appears), I no longer felt that strong need to watch videos on yt or look for things that would make me feel comfortable, so somehow I managed to keep this under control, but I don't know if it's recovery or if I'm just lying to myself that I'm not gay. If anyone has any ideas, I hope they write something here
