Ocd/hoc is getting worse! Help!

Postby zdlb2000 » Wed Nov 11, 2015 4:15 pm

I've been seeing a conselour (sorry for spelling by the way.) For the last 2 or 3 months and he has told me that I have OCD, but now it's getting worse. It all started sometime last spring, it started with sacrilegious thoughts as we were studying Islam in my world history class, (I'm a Christian) and it went to homosexual thoughts from there.I hate these hoc sexual thoughts so much, I've thought about harming myself severe times, but have never done it. I've liked girls all my life, the one crush on a girl I can remember was in 3rd grade, her name was Shannon. I started watching pornorgraphy at age 11 and haven't stopped since then, I'm in my teens now. I've never watched gay pornorgraphy in my life and I don't plan to, the thought of it disgusts me, now my OCD/HOCD has gotten worse, it's telling me that I'm in denial or that I'm in the closet, which I know for a fact I'm not, I've been straight all my life, I've liked girls ever since I can remember. I've always wanted to marry a woman and start a family, raise some children. I just need help please, I don't know what to do, these homosexual thoughts tell me I'm gay or bisexual, but I know I'm not, please someone just give me some advice please, I go back to see my conselour next Wednesday, I just hope everything goes well, please someone give me some advice.

Everything in your post, says you are not Gay, so in that regard, there isn't much for me to say.

The best advise I can give you, is to stop watching the porn. Did you tell your counsellor that you are watching porn? Have they discussed seeing a Pysch? Maybe start thinking about meds or some other kind of therapy.

Yeah, this looks like classic HOCD. The constant checking, reassurance seeking, rumination. Yup, you aren't gay at all. Just the OCD, my friend.
