The secret is stop checking, but is so hard when i look for a man i'm instantly asking myself "you feel attracted by him?" or something like that, and my attention goes to my groin for checking, is so annoying, and when i look for a pretty girl is the same i feel like i'm obligated to get instantly aroused by her, sometimes it's hard even for using perfumes because my brain says "do you like that smell? well it's a man smell, so you're gay", sometimes HOCD didn't leave me alone even in my dreams, after i started ERP therapy i started to laugh a lot about thoughts like this hahaha, i also quit porn it was very better after that.
Well, i'm not 100% yet but i think i'll get better, feel free to write me when you need and together we'll get out of this hell called HOCD.
Keep strong, i'll be praying for you get better!
