Hi, I had a problem with some thoughts, I'm not sure where I should ask for some advice or anything that might help me, I'm desperate almost 1 year and a lot of thoughts, some make me look like I'm not or make me lose what I was, I want to mention that I'm not homophobic, but I don't want to have anything to do with them either, I just want everything to be normal
Would appreciate some further context to this. Do you watch a lot of porn? What are you actually thinking about? Any idea on what started the thoughts?
I think there is some really helpful information here. I would further add - Is there even an argument you could make that would convince you of your straightness? Or, no matter how well evidenced or reasoned, your mind will not listen - like a bully? I think the solution really is in understanding that if you try to convince yourself you’re straight, you may well just aggravate the issue. And that’s not to do with you being straight or gay or anything. That’s to do with OCD and the pattern of thinking, and that’s a pattern you can apply to all sorts of situation. HOCD is just one manifestation of the problematic pattern. The solution may be not in becoming more effective at proving something, but in letting of the need to.
I tryed to use like a voice în my head to bully hocd , make fun of it and try to believe in myself the fact of his inexistence, yesterday when I do that i fight with 1h of triggers and anxiety but it worked , more people said me if I do that he will become more stonger idk if i'm doing the right thing
