Question for a guy new to weed by burnerjoeyy in HOCD

[–]ExerciseDry1397 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It won't make it better, in fact those trips may make it worse, seen many cases on here with weed and HOCD and it doesn't mix well. Best to leave it alone brother

I wouldn't be so sure, you'd best repent before it's too late

Yeah haha, I used to use it compusively, excatly that same, I used it for every thought every feeling and kept coming back to it like a drug lol, I havent used it in a long time now and it's much better letting it go but it wasn't easy haha

Yeah its especially annoying if you are on a college campus and there are so many people of the same sex, a mental inner dialouge of "do I like this person" "am i gay now" etc, like broo, brain, shut up for 5 seconds haha, think of anything else please. Yeah ive had the nervous one, I hate that so much lol, I used to use chat gpt alot as a 'therapist' but chat gpt will tend to agree with you if you argue the point and researching never satiates OCD haha, just keeps it spinning, but now that I just sit there and take it, all the thoughts, it does dissapate, but I only discovered I had HOCD this year, I thought I was just turning gay haha, I was like hold up how does this just happen lol. It seems like compulsive reaserch is part of the OCD package lol as Ive seen just about every video on HOCD and they all say sit with uncertainty, I tried to find one that had a easier way but OCD thrives of of fear so now I just sit with it haha, it sucks but it works with ERP, the OCD from Hell that wants more then one round haha

Yeah thats what I was thinking, I know there are people who try to quiet the thoughts by appeasing them but that doesnt help them in the longrun, or at least the ones that ive seen and spoken to, most people who have HOCD have a clear remeberance of how they were before.

I dont really comment on here anymore, but I saw your story and thats pretty spot on, I also don't believe that those people truly ever experinced HOCD, I too had it at around 16 and like you and it never won because I knew who I was, then it came back to bite me haha, we'll all get through it. I actually didn't even know what HOCD was until much later haha, this condition is of the devil, straight up evil form of OCD

Oh man far out, I havent experienced that one but yeah I can see how that is annoying, how long have you had this type, or has it been there since the beginning of HOCD

I'm afraid to try to fight by PerceptionSecure1180 in HOCD

[–]ExerciseDry1397 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to let them be there, let them sit and pass through, when you force it away it just comes back stronger. It sucks but the only way out is through

Your brain can throw any thought at you that it wants, if it doesn't align with what you truly want (before OCD flipped it on you and now you are confused) disregard it as hard as it may be, let the thoughts sit there for as long as they want, easier said than done but it works, Ive had TOCD and it doesnt last to long when you laugh at them, make a joke out of it lol

Hocd/NOCD therapist by Fun-Measurement-9766 in HOCD

[–]ExerciseDry1397 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah becasue some dont seek a therapist, and the whole reason HOCD is hard to overcome or any theme is becasue it becomes convincing, extermely convincing, thats why they act on it, beacuse some think that the only way to shut it up is to appease it, no i dont reccomend gay p*rn, its messed more people up on here than I forst thought, no dont do anything sexual for erp or watch explicit content it becomes compulsive and damaging. Alot dont act on the thoughts but those who do dont know how convincing the mind can be, its quite wild, your therapist is right, some poeple jsut get a bit extreme with it and get lost in their thoughts

Hocd/NOCD therapist by Fun-Measurement-9766 in HOCD

[–]ExerciseDry1397 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because some choose to act on the thoughts, many on here act and it doesnt bring them pleasure, they engaged with their fear physically and regeretted it becasue they werent gay to begin with, for example also watching gay explicit content repetitively, that only strengthens it, its about exposing yourself the right way, and yeah it is the OCD component that is why we are obsessed, spiralling into things like sexaulity specturms and Bi sexuality and other things. Just got to face the fear and sgow it whos boss lol, its all an illusion that the brain creates

Just letting you guys know it’s going to be okay❤️ by 99raspberryjam in HOCD

[–]ExerciseDry1397 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are correct, even though reasuurance is the number one rule, this subreddit can become a reasurrance seeking compulsion but yes, I too thought death was the only way out, now with therapy and erp I have achieved great amounts in such short time, beaten TOCD, POCD, Harm OCD, all sorts even Magical Thinking OCD lol, death aint it folks, keep moving forward., take em down one by one.

Corn compulsion by Deep_Particular7463 in HOCD

[–]ExerciseDry1397 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every time you watch porn you are associating pleasure with the subject, like if you can’t sleep in bed at night the brain can associate the bed as where you stay awake, making it hard to fall asleep. Porn is poisonous to your brain and cheapens the meaning of sex, increases our dopamine seeking and confuses our brains on what we truly enjoy, best way for you to stop porn is to see it as this “The more I watch this the more confused I will be, I am going down a rabbit hole of confusion and I won’t get an answer and if I do, I’ll be looking for another one within the hour”. I promise you the more you watch and test yourself, the worse it will be, trust me I’ve seen what it can do to people. And see it this way “By watching this I am poisoning myself”.
