*URGENT*HOCD: Is this false attraction?!

Postby needhelpplease123 » Mon Oct 10, 2016 8:13 am

I'm a teenage male. I've had HOCD for about a month now. It has never been like this before HOCD all started, it's freaking me out. At one point I feel as straight and SOMETIMES moments later, I feel bisexual/gay.

So basically, whenever I see an attractive guy (particularly my age group. I rarely ever happens towards older guys) I get this feeling like I want to date him, kiss him, have sex with him etc. What scares me most is that it feels SO SO SO real. I get this feeling. I don't know how to explain it. It is like anxiety and what feels like attraction mixed together. Then afterwards I start overanalysing and get really anxious afterwards. It feels real and it also feels like I like the feeling of being "attracted" to the person, but in reality, I DON'T!

When I think about a person of the same-sex, sometimes I feel like I want to have sex with them, but then when I think about the same person later, I don't feel any attraction. Same applies to when i see that person in real life! I get no "attraction" feeling!

I'm confused and scared. Are these all symptoms and characteristics of HOCD?

PLEASE ONY PEOPLE WITH EXPERIENCE REPLY

I'm really scared!

OCD anxiety causes you to feel this way, yes. Deal with it just like any other OCD anxiety.
