Checking Feelings

Quote

Please help me. I can't stop checking if I can have feelings for girls and it's starting to feel more real. I can't just accept I only see them as friends. I have to literally pretend I have a crush on them and act how I normally would with guys in my head to see how I feel. I can't do this. Do people with HOCD have this tendency most of it seems sexually related please help I can't stop it's convincing me I just want to be with my boyfriend more than anything in the workd

Unfortunately the more focus you give OCD the worse it gets. You have to STOP 'checking' testing, ruminating, stop it all. OCD knows when you 'fake' a ERP which is bringing on the thought or image- but freaking out in side!

Its ALL OCD tricks. It is wicked.. very wicked- and there is no length in which OCD stops. You need to kill the lying wolf once and for all!

Is it normal to check if you can develop feelings ?????

I did the same thing. And if I didn't feel instantly repulsed by the thought I used to freak out. But recently I've found out that all this is OCD's way of troubling us yet again. It wants us to check and ruminate and freak out when we don't feel instantly repulsed. So you should sit with the thoughts and wait for them to pass. That's the way we can kill this OCD.

I have more serious issues.....I see a image and think  if I am aroused by it like I get aroused by a girl and it automatically happens....and I get freak out inside like I am gone finished ....I can repulsive it as it had hypnotized me...but freaking inside....and this leaves me in extreme confusion and panic I cried whole night
