How bad can HOCD get because right now it feels so believable

Mine has been terrible. I cannot express or even put into words how difficult and how bad it has been for me personally and I'm sure for everyone else as well. I fully believe my mental compulsions have made it way worse for myself. If I would have, in the beginning, stuck with maybe/maybe not and sat with the feelings and uncertainty then maybe it wouldn't have gotten so bad for me. Or maybe it would have. Who knows. lol

I know what you mean Im going through a break up with my girlfriend. And all I want is for us to be together. And to top it off my HOCD starts to play up and make things even worse. So difficult what to believe sometimes. But I need to be better with living with uncertainty as hard as it is

Me too

Man, it gets pretty bad. Back in my peak I was MISERABLE. I was constantly sobbing, terrified that I was gay, while spending at least 13 hours a day doing compulsions. Bad, bad times.
