    Thank you for your share brother! Not sure if this was difficult for you to post but let me tell you, it is appreciated! I've been going through this for a year almost to the day now. Feeling much better than at first but it's still there. I'll leave a more in depth comment later if I feel inclined.
    Anyone here who is dealing with this especially if it's new to you...try and calm down, exercise, routine, discipline, exposure, self control, no substances...things take time. This man dealt with this for close to 10 years.
    You're not alone and you're going to be ok if you just trust the process

    No yeah. This is no joke bro. I still recovering but I know deep down who I am and I’m not gay. It’s not that I hate them or things it’s just not me. The brain is crazy strong. I hold it in for a month. I read some books about intrusive thoughts. They help a lot too. Thoughts are just thoughts. Being an over thinker it’s always that possibility but it’s just my overthinking. Also I couldn’t even go out of the house hang out with friend etc because I was afraid of these thoughts. It’s tough one need to cope with them. Rn I’m taking counseling and working on. I don’t want to change. I want the life I wanted before this. I will get it back. It’s war inside your head.

    I'm Straight, Engaged to my Mrs & Getting married to her & This HOCD is a nightmare! (I cant even say the G word by the way Cause every time I say it it triggers me) Everyday I have intrusive thoughts about my Male best friends trying to hit on me. & every time That happens I have to think about my time with my Mrs, Whether that is kissing her, & knowing what she looks like to make sure that that thought will stay with me. & lt also affects me when I'm putting on Clothes Like when I put a t shirt on If the Male best friends thought Image pops in my brain, I have to take it off & put it on again & Think of my Mrs & if the thought of her Stays in there I can keep my T Shirt on. Shopping's Worst as well, like when I pick out an item (Lets say a Pint of Milk) If the thought of my male friends pop up, then I have to Put the item back & Pick out another one while thinking of my Mrs then I can keep the Item. The Same thing can happen with buying Clothes as well. This has only just started happening for a weeks now, Like before It use to happen when it was like watching tv soaps like: EastEnders, Coronation street, Emmerdale, Hollyoaks you name it When 2 Men scene is happening I Cant watch That scene cause it will trigger me. If it was 2 Girls kissing it wouldn't bother me cause It felt like having to kiss 2 Girls with me there. What made me speak about this is because a Girl was going through this & a Black man who was going through the same thing on Tiktok & I was happy that I wasn't the only one suffering with this. I If the Bisexual Word popped in my head then, That Means still Like Girls & I will only date Girls. But Being Bi isn't what I want & Only Heterosexual is all I want to me & will always Be Straight. But I just Want all these Homo (Also know as the G word) & My male best friends trying to hit on me thought images gone from my head, & Go back to Living my Life with My Mrs, Get Married to her & have a Family Together. I feel like when I become a Dad I Feel Like it will make it easier for me cause I want everyone to know that, Oh look at him spending time with his son/Daughter & His Wife Now that's a perfect Family. The amount of Times I've cried & anxiety I've had over these past few weeks Has not been easy for me. Another Thing as well is that I felt like I can only have female friends, I know anyone with HOCD is different About this but, Whenever I hanged out with Females including my Mrs. It made me feel like the guy who can get all the Girls & Is a Ladies man. Also I watched a lot of Lesbian Or Sexy Thick Girls Corn Hub (With a P instead of a C) And see a Downstairs Growing Response and I still did to The Thick Girls on there. Which I Still felt happy about it, But I didn't want Corn (With a P instead of a C) To be the recovery, So when I spend Quality Time with my Mrs, I feel like that helped me Cause I Can just look at her & See How Beautiful she is. I told my Mrs about The HOCD & She said They are just Thoughts & You Will always Be Straight & Your not gonna Become another Sexuality & She Will Spend as Much Time with me to help you get better. I hear a lot of people say the best Recovery is to Ignore the images & thoughts, which I tried that but it just kept coming back, The TV Actors one I learned to Ignore, But The Thoughts & Images about my best mates Is the one that kept triggering me & being stuck in my head. Another way People say is EPR Therapy, But I'm Scared that They will Judge me. I watched UA-cam Videos About the People going through This, & I feel Like I can talk to them & They can talk to me, Because they will not Judge & and I will Not Judge them, cause they have been through this intense Battle. If Anyone has any Recovered Properly & Knows any Big Tips & Best ways to put a stop to This suffering Progress, Please Let me know & Reply to This.
    We will get Through This & You are not alone in all This.
    You are a Legend if you've read all this!
    Thank You!

    Been struggling this for a about a year now, Started from a traumatic experience kind of like yours, I do a lot of self talk and ruminating try to tell myself who I am but the intrusive thoughts and compulsions eat me alive, the life I somewhat enjoyed has gone down the drain it feels like, don’t do any of the things I used to enjoy, I barely find the will to go to work or even look after myself, sometimes I’ll skip meals or eat way too much never anything healthy though, some days I’d wish I get in a car wreck or something to put me out of this misery, I even considered “coming out” but even then my mind doesn’t believe it yet again the intrusive mind of mine says otherwise, I have bad social anxiety now can’t even go to the grocery store to get essentials I’ll scrape by for as long as I can or stay up really late to go when there’s no people around, I guess anything to calm this mind of mine, I’m losing this fight, but it’s not over till it’s over

    Good to hear I’m not the only one . I’ve delt with this off and on. I had it a few years ago and it kinda went away and i was living life . Still had the random thought of “ im gay “ or “your gay” but it didn’t bother me . And now it has came back stronger and I’ve had some therapy and done some epr . I can deal with the anxiety better but now it feels I’m just stuck and can’t get out of it . Been going on for about 4 months now . Worse being married and can’t act sexual because my mind is so off

      Hi mate, try not to stress to much " easier said then done " only because I felt the exact same way, intrusive thoughts love feeding off your emotions. I felt that when I had hocd for a long period of time it was like my mind had created a oneway path and I couldn't get out of. But I can assure you this will go away. best thing I can suggest is to talk to your partner or someone close to you and open up fully and tell them your thoughts that your having. Can be very hard but I felt this worked for me, sometimes it worked for a day or two and other times a few months. little steps will create bigger better outcomes. YOUR NOT ALONE.

    Hi, thanks for this video. I'm getting educated about something I didn't know existed. I am a confirmed gay guy for many years now, never any problem realizing this is what I am, even though the coming out process is hard for almost every gay person, mainly for what seems to be the same reason you have had. I've watched a number of videos on HOCD now, and the question I have never seems to come up or be discussed. Here it is: If the culture we live in did not bifurcate sexuality so rigidly into gay/straight, this way/that way, this is good/this is bad, then would there even be enough to trigger much of the anxiety that you describe? If it were considered by the culture that being attracted to the same sex was just as normal as being attracted to the opposite sex, would such conflict arise? It has seemed to me, as an outsider looking in, that the deeply embedded homophobia of our culture is what might be at the root of this dilemma. And related to that, why isn't it not considered to be okay to be bisexual. Such beings do exist. Might even be enjoyment of the best of both worlds if that were culturally accepted. Sometimes you're attracted to the same sex, sometimes to the opposite. Look, I definitely do understand the power of intrusive thoughts. I've had anxiety extreme around something else in my own past and had to learn how to work with it. But would your own type of suffering even exist if our cultural thinking did not insist that we think, and feel, in such binary sexual categories? Anyway, I am glad you are feeling better.

    • @ethandeboer103
      @ethandeboer103 9 місяців тому +3

      HOCD, or any kind of OCD, latches because of a core fear. But that fear is different for everyone; fear of rejection from society from coming out, fear of not being able to accept yourself, fear of loss of identity, or simply internalized homophobia. So to answer your question, yes, I think if society was more accepting and less rigid about these things, these fears would have little to no reason to exist in our brains. If there was a significant group of people that would judge you for being attracted to someone with brown eyes, I guarantee you Brown Eyes OCD would be a thing

      For me personally I’m much less afraid of what people think of me, I even came out as bisexual to my mom at one point. She was a bit confused by it but accepting. It didn’t actually make me feel any better, we spoke about it again later and the further in depth we went the more confused she got. She’s the reason I’ve learnt about hocd and gotten therapy, it had a massive grip on me then. Now it rarely bothers me. for me the fear is always more personal, not societal, although it was scary to “come out” to my mom alot more of my anxiety stemmed from a fear of losing women, if that makes sense. The paranoid thoughts about my friends or coworkers were just that, paranoid like, “what if I’m attracted to this guy” or “what if I become gay one day” and then anxiety would come in with “ what if this means you’ll never be able to attract a woman.” I’ve struggled with confidence around relationships and had similar thoughts before the hocd but obviously hocd made them much worse. At the end of the day, for me deep down I’ve always known that I like women, I’ve fallen in love with women before and often notice them in sexual ways, hocd thoughts feel more like surface chatter than my sexuality does because sexuality is at our core, worry and anxiety are just layers of static that can cloud our minds

    I'm also suffering from this , it started with false attraction towards a bully guy whom i hate most in my life and want to chopped off his head because he always bully me whenever i saw him before ocd i always had thoughts of fighting with him and one day when we all boys were playing together and that bully guy behave good with me and from where i don't know some type of creepy feeling came and i remember i just said in my mind " am i attracted to this" then all the doubts of gay started after few days i felt loss of attraction and libido that almost convinced me of gay but when it came back my anxiety literally vanished but after few Days doubt shifted to bisexual because of the intrusive thoughts, i deep down know I'm straight but sometimes walking through streets the intrusive thought comes in mind as a voice "oh look at that guy, he must be hot" or sometimes passing through every guy my mind said "hot guy, hot guy" without even seeing the face of any of them, kinda funny but these statements fucked my mind also sometimes i start planning if even I'm bisexual i will go far away from human population to any countryside along with my beautiful wife and kids, where I'll never use phone, tv and just spend time in nature with my family this is how my ocd ruining my life hope I'll be able to manage it soon. pray for me guys

      This is how hocd works it feeds on you emotions and energy, I had similar experience myself.. not going to lie was one of the hardest parts of have hocd, my advice would be talk about it to someone close and get get it off your chest. When you try to cover up hocd emotions I felt they got stronger and more overpowering. , I had to tell my partner that I was having these thoughts which was extremely hard, she has never had hocd but just to talk and say out loud my darkest thoughts I felt wait lifting off my shoulders.. I’m now free of hocd for quite sometime. So I will promise that it will get easier over time just eaither write down what you and feeling or talk to someone close or a professional, I did both

      I did ayahuasca (this psychedelic medicine) 6 months ago for my depression, in which hocd has played a big part on (I didn't know at the time though). During the trip I literally saw a white light that said "you're gay" and it was the most terrifying experience of my life lol. I remember I was finally able to "accept" it and I thought: "okay i guess im gay" but it just didnt sit right with me. I remember the next day I realized it was my hocd that I had always very much underestimated. I'm still struggling but I'm getting there. I still sometimes stumble into believing that "what if I'm truly in denial" and if me being gay has been the real cause to my depression all this time. I think it started slowly when i was about 18 and im 22 now. I feel like hocd is like a tank of fear and if you try to forget about it for a few days and come back to it with an exposure, it will have more fear bottled in it.
      Im personally kind of a coward and still find it almost impossible to talk to anyone about this but I think I will get there. Man just writing this made me feel incredible damn...

      @@Dub_97 my experience having HOCD as a straight male was terrible. I had prior symptoms of OCD when I was younger but it didn’t really occur to me or my parents then. My HOCD essentially came out of nowhere one night when I was drinking with my friends. It started making me think about old memories of failed relationships or times that I turned girls down because I wasn’t attracted to them. Or even times that I clicked on gay porn videos because I was curious. It took these base thoughts and would essentially make me question everything about my sexuality.
      Certain unwanted thoughts or images presented as: picturing my straight male friends hitting on me. Having sex with my male friends. Thinking about gay people hitting on me in public. Worrying that I would have sex with another man. Thinking about sucking someone off when I glanced at them in public.
      All really abnormal things basically. They were thoughts that I had never even considered until I had this condition. Even though they are really uncomfortable thoughts, it is important that you talk about all of them with a specialist, ALL OF THEM. When I would go to therapy and still do sometimes, my psychologist would be able to get really important information from hearing all of my thoughts and make my treatment that much more effective. I started on light medication for a couple weeks and don’t have to take it anymore, it helped a lot thought.
      You can definitely tackle this condition by yourself but I was able to seek out help right away which thankfully only made it last for about 3 months. Some people that don’t seek help can experience condition for up to 3 years. Hope this helps, don’t forget who you were before you started having all the thoughts.

      that feeling is completely normal man as your body has used a lot of energy fighting anxiety and racing thoughts, while experiencing hocd you may have low self-esteem, low sex drive, anxious and overall numb feeling. so please don't feel alone. I felt this way also

    i have gay intrusive thoughts and when the thoughts don’t bother me or i’m not thinking about being gay my mind tells me that i’m secret in the closet or in denial of being gay but i have no desire of being with a man and have always been attracted to women, is this normal?

      Hey Mate, It's tough bro. I am 23 years old. I've been going through it for 6 years now. Don't worry, you're not gay, not at all. What you need to do is, relax and take your mind more seriously. Our mind, isn't like any other mind: What makes ours different is - It is constantly questioning our character to the point where we can be unbearable - That can sometimes be a good thing, but at the moment it's just focused on the wrong thing.
      Okay, You will get over it. I promise. And, as hard as it may to believe, you'll be grateful, you did.
      Trust me on that. Not many understand our experience, so the knowledge we are acquiring is unique.
      Now, For tackling it, I'll be straight up, I haven't yet got it completely solved..but! Meditation has helped.
      It's to do with your focus, nothing else. So you have to get that to a point where you can brush off Any thought, not just this thought but any unwanted thought. Remember bro, It's just a thought, nothing else. A thought.
      If need be, Try prescribed medication. That's what I am currently looking at (Retlin), I hear it helps a lot with focusing.
      Other than that, stay strong pal.

    My case is my mind was saying I had a crush on a guy friend. I freaked out and break cold sweat. Since then my life hasn't been the same anymore. I used to wank like 10x a day before. Now I'm trying no fap for 90 days I hope this works well for me. I also have GERD and have anxiety disorder before having unwanted gay thoughts. I also feel bad when I see sharp objects I feel like there's an urge inside me to pick it up and hurt people who are dear to me.

      Bro I’ve been watching porn in hopes that it would confirm that I’m not gay. But I’m pretty sure it’s a compulsive act and just making matters worse. Porn and masturbation can be like a drug…with very little short term relief.

    This isn't a thing. It most certainly isn't a diagnosis. It is denial. You can hold it in, for a very long time sometimes, even allow your life to pass by. But make no mistake... it most certainly is who you are. Why do you feel better after talking about it . . . It's why everyone who comes out feels better...

    • @Pode91
      @Pode91 8 місяців тому +2

      Sooo, yours definitely is a diagnosis. That you couldn't keep for yourself for some reason. Most certainly to feel better about yourself. But lets all make no mistake : you know people better than themselves. And passing on that knowledge surely doesn't make you a dick.

      He is not gay, just OCD, that’s where the confusion was. I had the same thing. Never felt anything for man but for some reason, the sole idea of being gay would trigger anxiety and identity questions. Then I fall in love with my then new girlfriend and all that went away as I gave it no power. Being gay is more of a natural thing where you know you are like that or at least you are curious in an inviting way. OCD feels the opposite. If it’s dreadful fear instead of happiness, then is OCD

      You are completely wrong gay people suffer with ocd which make them feel straight, hocd disgust straight people , because they know who they are . One can have false attraction and groinal response necessarily doesn't makes him /her gay. If someone was in denial , they enjoy those thoughts but doesn't speak, hocd people , feel bored , irritated, disgusted , upsated with those feeling because they are straight. But it is the compulsion which continuously runs on their head , and makes them feel gay/lesbo , but they are not.

      There is a difference of gay or having hocd , hocd doesn't happen to gay. It only happen to straight or bi . If someone is gay he/she would rather have fear of becoming straight.
