HOCD (or SOOCD) can be an incredibly confusing condition. As someone who lived with HOCD for many years I know how it feels. We can get to wondering whether it's really real or whether we are making it up in our heads.

Many of us wonder if we really have HOCD or whether it's not real. The obsession about HOCD can become an HOCD obsession in itself and it gets so confusing. We wonder if we're gay and in denial or whether it is HOCD.

This video explains what HOCD is, what it isn't, and how you can tell if you have HOCD or not. It also explains how you can work out the best course of action if you are suffering from symptoms related to HOCD or obsessive anxiety.
