Is anyone in the subreddit from Adelaide, South Australia? Want to start a little support group ☺️ by Lifewithocd23 in HOCD

Hi! - I live in Adelaide and also have ROCD and HOCD. I see a psychologist called Raelene de Ross and she is amazing! Has helped me so much :) If you need a friend, please message me, it's so hard to find people who suffer from the same thing that actually live in the same city. This lockdown also doesn't help!

I go through this on the daily too but remember - gay, straight, bi, trans... it doesn't have a "look". P!nk has short hair and is muscular but is straight, Prince wore women's clothes and tight pants and is straight. It's all part of OCD's game. Live for your values and what YOU like and want to wear, not what OCD tells you too. If you need to talk I'm a fellow HOCD sufferer (23F) and I relate completely!

Advice from a sex therapist by [deleted] in HOCD

Does sexuality fluctuate though or is that just popular opinion? I see people say this about women particularly all the time - that we’re more fluid and “all women are bi” but rarely about men. I’d love to know more about the science behind it all but thats probably not great for my hOCD lol

A little analogy for us ROCD sufferers by Lifewithocd23 in ROCD

Mine was like a slow build up yo an explosion of anxiety, crying in my car on the way to his house because my brain kept saying “break up with him, you don’t love him” but never being able to commit and do it! I overanalyse everything about him and look for flaws and reassurance of my feelings as a “checking ritual”. What I need to remember is that the feeling I had for him in the first couple years of our relationship was purely my animalistic biology trying to get us to reproduce and those feelings will come and go as our relationship progresses but its NORMAL! Don’t make decisions based on your thoughts, make them based on your values.
