Does anyone deal with sexual orientation ocd? If so, how has it been for you and what has helped?

What happened to me was two things. I was attracted to other men in my relationship which made me uncomfortable and I sub pressed my sex drive because of it two I was able to recognize when a woman was physically attractive but it’s not like I wanted to do anything

Same here. A book called Brain Lock helped despite it not having examples of ROCD and SOOCD, it still applies. Also Chrissie Hodges youtube videos help a lot, like really a lot, she explains what's "normal" for SOOCD and that it's not you but your brain. I also did self exposures like online shopping, watching TV that I had been avoiding and now I'm having more good days than bad

It started with a wave of bad thoughts about a friend. That day I had cried and panicked over it, I didn't want to feel like that towards that person. The next day I saw my girlfriend and that helped me a lot. But then she left to go home and that made the doubt return. I'd say it's been hell. Since then my girlfriend broke up with me because she lost feelings for me and didn't tell me so she faked it for a month. So I feel somewhat lost at times but I got diagnosed recently so thats kept me somewhat stable. I miss the simplicity of knowing. What helps is living life, try to ignore the feeling of wanting to stay in bed and just loath. You gotta pick yourself up.
