@raj123 Iāve read somewhere that we do get used to this, and it also doesnāt mean that weāre accepting it. I want to do therapy but Iām too scared

If you are crying and posting for reassurance it sounds like you still have anxiety. What do you mean by no more anxiety? The specific manifestations and compulsions of ocd change on us (as ocdās tricky way to get us to do compulsions). There is also a thing called āback door spikeā that you may be experiencing. Either way, keep treating the ocd with therapy and erp!

Bro I'm confused. Idk how to tell if its anxiety or not. Can you help me out? The feeling when you get when you're very scared, like shivering legs, I have that feeling. And this is not everyday. I'll have this for a week or two, then I would go away. After some days/ weeks, it would come back. Please help meš

@raj123 It sounds like anxiety. Also I think ocd anxiety can turn into depression symptoms like crying all the time. But what is important is to not finding a label for our feeling but getting ocd treatment. Have you done therapy?

Share recovery stories as I am in need of hope!
This is killing me slowly day by day, im a straight female 20 years old, i started getting hocd after a break up with an ex and coming off intense use of šš for a few years on and off, i think it has messed up my brain so badā¦ my hocd is weird because ive been with men my whole life always wanted to be with men.. i also used to always question every relationship ādo i love him? Does he love me? Am I with the right person?ā Anyways after my hocd triggered my tocd due to researching hocd and finding they can often be linked, I started getting tocd and itās worse then ever because itās not who I want to be and Iām going back to situations where my abusive ex partner called me a āmanā during a fight. Iāve always been a tomboy but never had same sex attraction. Help. This is killing me. I havenāt been able to study or leave the house most days, and work! Iāve lost motivation for everything and Iām in a dark hole. I need some success stories please

hocd and scared itās internalized homophobia
Iāve been struggling with HOCD for years, and it started with an intrusive thought about being gay when I was younger. It came up at age 12 and ever since, Iāve been trapped in a cycle of doubt and anxiety. I obsess over whether or not Iām secretly gay, even though I donāt feel that way at all. What makes it worse is the fear that I might have internalized homophobia, and thatās why Iām having these obsessive thoughts. I worry that my anxiety is a sign that Iām repressing something or rejecting part of myself. It feels like my mind keeps repeating the same questionāam I gay?āand no matter how much reassurance I get, the fear doesnāt go away. I used to pray for my family members, fearing that if I didnāt, something bad would happen to them, and now it feels like I have to control these thoughts, or something will go wrong. For a while, it was quieter, but a week ago, the thoughts spiraled up again, and now the anxiety feels overwhelming again. Itās exhausting, and I donāt know how to break free from this constant loop of doubt. Has anyone dealt with the fear of internalized homophobia alongside HOCD? How do you manage the anxiety that comes with it?
