Omg that’s great!!! 💖 did you go from totally freaking out that you were gay then bi and now straight? Because for about like 3 months I really thought I was gay but now I’m like what if I’m bi because my attraction fully came back for my boyfriend. Sometimes I even feel confident I’m straight but I know I still have a long way to go because I’ll still get triggered and anxious and etc

I would love to ask a ton of questions. I dnt feel any anxiety i keep getting groinal responses, and stupid automatic thoughts in my mind, "i am" since im a male too now this hocd is playing with what if i act feminine or act like a women. It feel real because anxiety isnt present but i legit don't want to live

Hi. Was there days where you felt you fully believed you was gay. And that you was lying to yourself and start to ruminate on past events even though I’ve had 3 girlfriends always been attracted to women??

When you were starting to get better, did you ever have back and fourth days? Like some days or moments you felt confident about your sexuality but the other days you didn’t? I apologize for all of the questions 😅

Looking for HOCD / SO OCD advice
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.

How do y’all deal with this?
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.
