Today I almost let go of it. I've been having HOCD obsessions for about 2 and a half months now. But as soon as I decided that i wasn't gay, i got anxious (ironically enough) because i had nothing to worry about or obsess over. i immediately went back to my hocd thoughts. This happened at the best place for hocd thoughts to spike, the gym. I sit there, staring at guys bodies the whole time, trying to figure out if i'm attracted to them. Yet i don't really feel an attraction towards women right now (i did before hocd). But all i notice are guys muscular bodies anymore. I feel like now i almost feel like i like looking at their bodies. i'm not sure if it's just because i don't really feel aroused and that comforts me, or if i actually like them. if i'm not constantly worrying about something or trying to sort something out, i get anxious. but i'm anxious and depressed when i worry about something. My mind searches for whatever i can to obsess over. Why i like girls, if there's an afterlife, if i'm going to hurt someone are all obsessions i've dealt with. Yet i want to worry about them because if i don't have anything then i'm anxious. Does anyone else feel like this?

hahahah oh yes I will start to like a guy and really like them and than it feels like the attraction is still therebut I can't see it and I want  to but I feel lost. Sometimes it feels like I don't know what I am feeling. You are cute by the way! lol...you will be fine man...just go with it...you know what i find helps be open to the possibity of anything...that you could be gay cuz anyone can be gay but I doubt you and i are gay. It's like I will notice when a girl has her clevage too low or her butt creek is showing and that turns me right off and than I will look at a hot guy's butt lol and be turned on...the point is we are observant people having ocd...I know I am and we can notice anything...just keep living and let it be...

Yea I can relate.  Before I even knew I had OCD I noticed I always seemed to have to worry about something.  My health, my sexuality, my relationships, everything.  And when one obsession dies off, I start checking to see if it still upsets me, as a reassurance that I'm not suddenly ok with it.  I've read that this can be called a backdoor spike, in other words, being anxious because we're not anxious!

hello sir..even though I am personally "straight" my friends have come in "both flavors" orientation wise & have seen several going through same deal ur experiencing now..the only thing I've seen which comes to a useful resolution is not to "obsess" on it..which kinda goes against the grain of having OCD in the first place I know but if u resolve urself to letting only ur subconscience mind work on this & free up ur conscience mind to the task of everyday living then u'll be surprised what the former will resolve for u .. ok an example..ur taking physics now *as I've done*..when u can't figure out a problem leave it for awhile & do something completely different ..while ur away ur subconscience is still working it out..be strong

I definitely understand what you're going through. I was fine for a little while...then I started to obsess about my relationship and then it was right back to the HOCD, and unfortunately...I want a new bathing suit and when I was shopping online I about had a panic attack because of the model's bodies. Rating them. Gauging myself. Then mourning that I didn't have a body like theirs. The spikes in my HOCD kill my attraction for men...or at least lower it because I'm filled with so much anxiety. 

You're not alone.

-Hey pal...yes...most of my whole life I have felt like this. You are what you are. The most important thing is to be a good person. I tend to worry about anything and everything...I can't stand it. But face it down. Don't let the OCD have the power over you. It's a coward when confronted with you standing up to it. I'm 46 years old and I'm feeling like for the first time in my life I'm really doing well with handling this. Don't get me wrong...it never really goes away, but I have gotten better and handling it. It's possible to have OCD and a good life even if you are gay or straight. Seek out some treatment, see a Dr. about it. Involve your family and close friends as a support system. They don't have to know all the details, but turn to people that care about you and who you can trust. You will always have me and others here who will listen and help.

Be well,

Blue
