Make sure to check out the rest of our rules and more details and ask the mod team if you have any questions. It's harmful because it makes you obsess more, and we do not allow it here. Reassurance is when you attempt to get relief from your intrusive thoughts and anxiety. We don't want this to be a place where people obsess and give out harmful info. If you don't know what ERP or CBT is, do not give advice. Truth is, there are healthy ways to manage OCD, and there are harmful ways. We'll get a good sidebar going over here as well soon. HOCD is treated the same way as ROCD, the only difference is the examples. For now, if you would like treatment information, head over to the /r/rocd sidebar. Report posts if you see misinformation or harassment. For now, be careful reading the advice, most of the posts are not being moderated for bad advice. NOTE: Mods are a bit busy right now taking care of the ROCD sub. This sub is for anyone with OCD who have sexual orientation or gender related obsessions including HOCD, TOCD, and Sexual Orientation OCD.
