I don’t think any ocd theme ever goes away “completely”. I think that the more you want it to go away the more it will bother you. It will “go away” once you don’t care anymore whether it’s there or not. OCD always has a way to try and come back after you’ve recovered. It’s all about management through therapy. Not letting it affect your life to the point where you feel “normal” again. Trust me, the theme is irrelevant, they all make you equally anxious, it’s about retraining your brain on how it reacts to the anxiety, thoughts, etc.

How long did it take to make this? And is it actually possible?

Anyone else with HOCD get thoughts of like "people in denial try to distract themselves" or anything along those lines when just trying to move on from the thoughts. Having a pretty bad episode this morning at least anxiety wise.

I’ve completely lost myself. I can’t focus on my studies, I can’t go to the gym. Dang it I can’t even be around my male friends normally anymore. I got no idea why or how this happened but the only thing I know for sure is that I never questioned my sexuality neither doubted it. I never cared in general. I just liked girls. I keep testing and keep testing and keep testing my arousal but no matter how many times I see but I don’t feel the same way for guys that I do with girls my mind will always try to make me believe that I am gay. It’s like it’s forcing me into an identity I never asked for. But at the end of the day like my psychologist told me. Sexuality doesn’t change. So since I never felt anything for guys in my life it’s ocd. I’ve been up and down for 5 months now and while the last week I was feeling way better. Monday now and I’m back to zero. I just want to go back when everything was normal. I can’t keep living with this.
