Hi there! just wanted to say I feel those feels, hocd sucks and at times it does feel like your life is falling apart-but mostly the techniques I use which help is not addressing hocd, meaning don't look up articles for reassurance or for answers, try to stay away from hocd or coming out forums, try your best to distract yourself such as cooking, gardening-physical activities really help. I can't watch shows or movies anymore as they're really triggering but I'm trying really hard to live as I am and not focus on sexuality as sexuality has nothing to do with hocd (although my hocd wants to trick me into believing it is). Also if you're like me and enjoy a nice romantic book or movie-indulge in it! don't let hocd spoil what you enjoy, grab a blanket some snacks and a glass of wine and make some time for you!
