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.

Sexual orientation ocd
Can sexual orientation ocd make you act on your fears and make you have same sex experiences ever and then after the experience realize that’s not what you are or want?

Question
So with my theme of ocd, ( hocd ) I get persistent intrusive images, and thoughts. It’s not like one or two a day. Like if I’m out for the whole day they’re constant. I feel I can’t even look at a girl now without her intrusive thoughts about her or about me fancying her and even sexual intrusive thoughts.. It’s awful. It’s everywhere I look. Is this common with ocd with any themes? Like is it constant for you guys too?

Lesbian with Sexual Orientation OCD
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?
