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.
yep, don't mind it
-No fap lol -Don't use google -Stop posting that leads to reassurance instead help yourself. -trigger your thoughts and face it.
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.
Does nofap actually work though?
yeah
And what about medication?
I used to have these thoughts when I was 12 and I would cry myself to sleep over it, I completely understand
ZVB that’s how it is with me. Super scared
YES! Exactly
Can anyone relate to having HOCD thlughts (or any form of sexual orientation OCD) and getting aroused by them? I don't mean a groinal response (tingles, twinges, etc.) or arousal-non concordance (when you're groing get's aroused but your mind doesn't), or confusing stress with arousal... I literally mean getting aroused (both mentally and physiologically) by unwanted thoughts in repeated occasions (frequently) when you test yourself? Basically like if it was a sexual fantasy, with the exception that it's a torture that you have found through compulsions. I never wanted to think any of this and I still hate and wouldn't do any of the content of my thoughts. But this happens to me and makes me feel SOOOOO in denial and anxious even though I've never had sex, interest, attraction or desires for a man (or a transexual, which is my other HOCD topic).
Hey guys. i’m a 14 year old female and i think i may be struggling from HOCD. My reason for this is because i really struggle setting aside thoughts about my sexual orientation. Growing up i always wanted to marry a man and have kids but up untill now there’s something in my head telling me that i don’t want to do that and i’m making it up. i have all kinds of intrusive thoughts about s€xual intercourse with girls and even just being in a relationship with a girl and they have become that common it’s like in my head that i’ve accepted it and my head is tricking me into the fact i like it, when in reality i don’t! there’s so much more to this but all i want to know is is this HOCD and i’m not in denial? pls it’s causing me so much distress, i’d appreciate any help! <3
