There are certain obsessions and themes that I have had over 20 years. Ultimately, the theme doesn't really matter. OCD is OCD. ERP is effective regardless of the theme.

Not if you keep obsessing over it. Then it’ll never go away.

What makes you think that? Want the truth? Your OCD can go away in a day.

@Andrew That's what Hocd does. I've been through Hocd 4 times and I'm just now starting to get through my 5th time. The first step to getting through is like my therapist said, accepting that if you are gay, you're gay. (No I'm not saying you're gay) Here let me explain in detail. You got to not care if you're gay. Whenever your OCD tries to say you are gay, you strike back and said "well what if I am". If you show ocd that you dont care if you're gay or not it will go away because it sees that its not bothering you. YOU know you arent gay, so why so you care if OCD says you're gay?

@Sizmix I guess because if I really am gay it would be allot harder to live life with most people looking down on you idk and I got social anxiety now like completely crippling

@Andrew Self-identified queer person here! Yes, being queer and out presents a set of challenges. Being queer does not automatically make your life suck. The OCD tho? It's causing you suffering. It's cool if you're gay, cool if you're not.

This is like asking "wouldn't diabetes go away on its own after 10 years?" You need to treat your illness instead of ignoring it, otherwise it will just get worse.

Just like when to know you’re in denial or really have this and I’m not looking for reassurance just after all this time and how strong it is I really think I’m gay just so confusing

Ocd doesn’t ever go away

It can. But you have to just sit in uncertainty. It's not a permanent fix, but if you sit long enough it will pass.

@Sizmix No it can’t. It’s an incurable illness it is for life. Your symptoms may be much lower for 5 years but the ocd is still there. One thing can trigger you and it can be 10x worse than it’s ever been

@Justmesadly It was expressional that's why I said it's not a permanent fix. If you sit in uncertainty it will soon past. When I sit in uncertainty I honestly feel free from OCD like it's not even there but after a bit another thought will come but then I got to let it pass. Trust me letting it run its course works.

Looking for HOCD / SO OCD advice
Hi all, I deal with HOCD and been seeing a therapist for about 3.5 months. It has definitely got better but still affects me very much. Was wondering there is anyone out there who has dealt with HOCD as well and has recovered. I would love to message or even chat just see how your experience was and hear what was beneficial to you.

Hocd
I’ve had hocd for around 11 months now. It’s gotten to the point where I’m just convinced that I am bi. I still like boys like I always have, but I feel like I like girls too. I have no anxiety either or active thoughts. It’s just kinda there like yep I’m bi and ok with it. Anyone else? Just curious.
