@Nour04 Hi again. Sorry for the delay. What you’re experiencing is called desensitization. You habituate with the thoughts after constantly exposing yourself to them. It happened to me. Although I’ll get a few thoughts throughout the day, I won’t get hooked by them because, as you stated, the lack of anxiety. But I must admit I did often ruminate without the anxiety during recovery. Now I’m just triggered by outside situations, sometimes, but seldomly nonetheless. Wish you the best.

Sometimes our brain just numbs us out due to self defense, this could just your brain getting used to the thought and not focusing on the obsession as much anymore.

it's like the thoughts don't even bother me anymore. i could actually reply to my mind with "maybe i am maybe i am not i don't care" and can move on and not panic nor ruminate

my sleep schedule has been like shit i am barely getting any sleep, so it's like i am too sleepy and too tired to even bother in engaging with the thoughts. it's too tiring and i have 0 energy to do so

acceptance
it feels like i accepted being gay and thats part of who i am but i still feel that tension and fake attraction whenever i see a man and i feel like i could be able to have a sexual intercourse with a man even though i dont want it is it still hocd or just denial? like i am feeling okey but there is still that doubt that how can i know that im not gay if i dont get disgusted by gay things or gay personality traits and at the same time i want to feel normal again like before

hocd
I don’t know what to do anymore, this started nearly a year ago and caused so much stress and panic attacks over the thought of loosing my boyfriend. Now it just feels real and that he always liked girls and suppressed it (but like the boys i always liked in the past were real feelings they had to be and with my boyfriend i love him) but i haven’t got much anxiety now feels like i want the thoughts and that they don’t bother me even tho they used to, this seems to happen every time i get a lil better, idk just feels so true and that’s what i acc want with no stress, just a lil scared.
