oh really? have you ever felt like you were actually gay and there was nothing u could do ab it? and have u ever lost ALL ur attraction to men while feeling like you were truly attracted to women? It seems like I was never straight to begin with

The gay part yes and i just accepted it. But with the loosing attraction in boys yes it happened the day it all started and i was watching youtube videos of sexy guys. And yes it felt like i was attracted to women. I would be scared to look at them afraid that something would happen to me.

@Anonymous help Wait really? Because that’s how I feel right now. Like for 2-3 months I literally thought I was gay. I had no attraction to any guy (even my bf) and would have constant intrusive thoughts/images and groinal responses. Now my anxiety is much lower and I don’t have as many intrusive thoughts. I’m still dealing with instrusive images and will still get groinal responses but they are soooo much less than before. And now I definitely feel attracted to my bf. So now I’m like what if I’m bi. I don’t really ruminate about it but it still doesn’t feel right. Like I’ll still have moments of anxiety about whether or not I’m attracted to a girl or would I like a girl or if I have a thought/image or groinal response. But it’s a lot better so I’m happy about that. I still don’t feel like myself yet though

@Whyyocd Yeah it will take a while to jump back into reality but finding attraction with men is a good sign you are on your way back to normal. I love my bf now and get groinal responses now with him. And i dont have anymore images like very rarely

This is amazing!!! Congratulations babe! 💘 Can I ask how long you had HOCD symtpoms for? Also, did you mind convince you that you were now gay? It’s such an awful Illness.

Hi all, I deal with HOCD and been seeing a therapist for about 3.5 months. It has definitely got better but still affects me very much. Was wondering there is anyone out there who has dealt with HOCD as well and has recovered. I would love to message or even chat just see how your experience was and hear what was beneficial to you.

I’ve recovered from HOCD before and got my attraction and my usual actual identity back. I was recovered from end 2022- start 2025 until I got triggered UGHHH😭 My HOCD is REALLY trying to convince me and it’s SO annoying cause I genuinely don’t want these thoughts. I know I naturally like men and always have done so. I can’t wait for my first therapy session in two days Omg! I need your advice, not necessarily reassurance, but more advice? My HOCD is throwing random “proof” I did/ saw as a child in my face, which back then had no meaning in my life and I continued to live a perfectly heterosexual life. I’ve educated myself about arousal non concordance / child’s play, but it still doesn’t remove the HOCD. I’ve read therapists great explanations on how it’s not a sexuality issue, BUT ITS AN OCD BRAIN ISSUE. So basically I’ve been straight and i will die as straight. But my ocd is still continuing with the intrusive thoughts/flashbacks. I’ve had some moments where I haven’t done as many compulsions and had less anxiety but still had those damn thoughts and I DO NOT want those damn thoughts. I have so much proof and factual/logical explanations but HOCD is still continuing to thrive. I absolutely hate this and I feel so alone. I wish there was a reset button cause I don’t want these thoughts to happen. I want a man and I stand by that. How do y’all deal with these situations? Cause sitting with the thoughts is clearly not helping.
