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.

Hi everyone, I wanted to reach out to see if anyone else has experienced something similar with OCD and intrusive thoughts. I’ve been struggling during moments of intimacy because intrusive thoughts, particularly ones related to POCD, feel so ‘sticky’—like they’re all I can picture. Even though I really want the thoughts to go away, they persist, and I’ve been trying not to avoid intimacy because of them. However, that makes me feel like I’m somehow ‘enjoying’ the thoughts or images, which I really dislike. It’s like my brain is playing this awful trick, and it’s leaving me feeling confused and gross. I guess I’m supposed to not let the thoughts bother me and continue as if nothing’s wrong, but I’m scared that by doing so, I’m almost training myself to get off to them or something. This fear makes it so hard to trust myself in those moments, and it’s been overwhelming. If anyone else has been through this, how do you handle it?

I’m 25 and never ever thought this before my soocd relapse. I have a bf of 5 years. Never been a high libido kinda girl. Don’t get me wrong I do get turned on by my bf but not like every day you know? - That had always been in the back of my head, is this normal and ok? But my ocd has latched onto the most scariest what if EVER. My brain is now saying How do you know you won’t prefer to sleep and kiss girls if you haven’t tried it: and it’s that unknown that is scaring the shit out of me. I DONT AND NEVER HAVE wanted to sleep / kiss a girl. But now my intrusive thoughts is all I think about!!! I don’t want I don’t want I don’t want??? So why does my brain think BUT WHAT IF??? I know ocd thrives off uncertainty which is why I think this is happening? But I don’t wanna find out or work it out because all I want is to be with my bf and marry him!! Is this just the epitome of OCD?

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
