Yeah it’s rough sometimes. Sometimes I feel amazing and I get excited as if it’s finally over, but then the thoughts end up coming back and I go through a low period. I’ve seen my highs and my lows but I know that as long as I keep moving forward and don’t act on the thoughts that one day things will be better.

No medication. I'm going to try solving this on my own. I suffer from HOCD for almost 12 months. And what I've noticed is that it's getting stronger.

Trust me I can be sitting next to someone and having an average conversation and then all of a sudden my thoughts flip it into sexual things and especially having a boyfriend my anxiety attacks go up immediately and I try to disapprove the thoughts I had. For some reason Harm OCD thoughts are super easy for me to get over because I can easily asses that as “that’s dumb as hell I’d never do that” but with HOCD in this sense since I’ve never experienced how to deal with this it’s been harder to get over. I recommend, stay true to who you know for a fact you are. If it’s new and trying to change who you think you are, write it off as bullshit and move on. Easier said than done I know but it’s worth a shot.

Pff my hocd makes me believe everything is, in realise, a woman xd in my imagination so I can't write (And I love it) and outside, which scares me a lot. But you have to accept it and continue with your daily life. Someday you'll think about this and say "how stupid this was" even if you 'll worry for other things, those thoughts will lose value over you too. Thoughts are thoughts. You don't own them and they don't own you ♡

Just agree on what you're mind is telling you. I know it's uncomfortable but thats the only way you can remove this thoughts.

Sorry long post. Anyone feel like now they’re just in extreme denial. Like when I was little I noticed guys more than girls in movies and was more drawn to them. I remember changing my mindset to switch that. 98%of my life has been straight until recently. I felt drawn to some guys but never thought of it sexually. Always had girl crushes dreams and porn. Now I watch porn and I feel like straight takes longer and then I go and watch gay porn and feel nothing until I tell myself it’s two attractive dudes and love is love and imagine physical sensations and then it hits like suddenly. Like I have to convince myself it’s alright. Then when I try again I can do all that but feel nothing and then straight porn works. Idk if it’s just getting a fix or the first time works with anything or what but it’s confusing. On top of that I’ve felt girl relationships including my wife maybe miss something and a guy maybe matches that feeling that but then I feel like I’d be missing something without a girl or my wife. Idk I’ve had some rough times in life with male figures in my life but idk. I feel like I have to convince myself more and more that I’m straight even more than the first time I dealt with this. Can someone relate? Please

I need too know that I'm not insane, really. I am 16 and for the past two weeks, this has been completely ruining my health and happiness. I only recently came out as a lesbian like 3 months ago after a lot of confusion about my attraction since I used to think I liked men. At first, I felt so sure that I liked women, but lately, I've been having these unwanted thoughts about the possibility of liking men. I never used to feel this way, but now, every time I look at a man, my brain obsessively fixates on it. It forces me to imagine kissing him, loving him, things I don’t want, and then tries to convince me that I do. It’s painful. The thought of this fills me with fear and anxiety, leading to panic attacks and breakdowns. I don’t want these thoughts. I hate them with every fiber of my being, but I’m terrified that one day I’ll act on them and somehow like it. I used to think I liked men, but back then, I was in a very unhealthy space in a time of escapism and something deeply parasocial. I’ve only ever liked the attention and validation a man could give me, but these experiences are somehow treated as further proof that I’m "bisexual." I’ve never been in a real relationship with anyone, which makes my brain constantly challenge me—telling me, “You don’t even know what love feels like.” It won’t shut up. It keeps obsessively trying to make me prove that I’m a lesbian, testing my reactions and questioning my certainty. Is this normal?

I am 15 years old and my POCD feels like its not POCD, i feel like i like my intrusive thoughts, but i have more intrusive thoughts about having intrusive thoughts, and i feel like i cant enjoy the things i normally enjoy anymore, like calling with my girlfriend and joking with her because this is still in the back of my mind, its making me question morals and if i ever even viewed P as completely wrong and i hate this so much, i love my nieces and nephews and when they're over i know id never do anything with my intrusive thoughts but when they arent present i feel like i like my thoughts. Before this i was dealing with HOCD and ROCD and i wish i could go back to that
