    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

    If it is porn related, simply stop porn and it will improve

    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've struggled with HOCD but now I'm struggling with POCD and it's absolute hell on Earth.

    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.
