**SPIKE POTENTIAL** Hey Guys, i just went through some of the posts on the Gay and Lesbian Group here (still can't believe how i mustered up so much courage) Anyways, the difference is huge!!! There is barely a single post on there concerning or resembling anything that is going on on this side. Sure there is the odd post about someone coming out in his 30's or 40's but they still read different. It is more about acceptance and how to deal with family and friends. PDA etc. Too be honest, my heart is still pounding somewhat. Going for a smoke now. Let me say this again, the difference is huge!!!

I'm boutta take a look myself I figured that's how it would look like.
Don't get me wrong. The nervousness is still in my bones. For a second i thought about writting something in there, to explain oursleves, in the hope to get some inside information for our group, but then i was all: "what if you suddenly write that you are gay?" etc. It was still good to see, but proceed with caution :D
Ahhhh buddy I'm having a small spiking episode right now reading some of the stories but I'll live.
I told you. It was not my intention, and it still isn't that people should take a look. I was just being the embassador of information.
It's cool it's actually good CBT I just gotta learn how to read things without making them my stories

Shoudn't be to hard in this case. From what i read, they are all way older then you :D
I'm boutta go over and post. Lmao it feels like I'm about to jump in the pool full of sharks
@Eddylow9 Easy there Tiger. Last time someone from the gay community came here it was because he got offended by the posts here. If you do post there, in order to bring some information back, or perhaps so that someone from there answers some questions here, make sure he/she understands what is going on. Perhaps you post a link to brainphysics instead of explaning it. Well, it all depends on your goal really. Which is?
Heh, that's a big step forward for us!
I went on there a couple weeks ago. I wouldn't recommend posting anything on there because it's just going to backfire on you. Most people who are gay are not going to believe that we are suffering from HOCD. They are going to think we are in denial and can't accept who we are. I've seen it before. I think asking any sort of question is just going to be about finding reassurance for yourselves. You can see a difference between yourselves and them while reading their posts, I think that's good enough.
I watched a movie back in September about a boy who grew up gay, about accepting himself, and his family accepting him - it was clear to me that I'm not going through the same thing, but it only provided relief for a little while. I think engaging in any sort of conversation about sexuality and hocd at this point would not be a good idea. We all know that most people don't get.
@Bria869 As i said, i would never ask or advice to ask anything without setting the stage first.
After seeing this post I decided to do the same.. agh scary. got all panicky.. part of me is instinctively like that's not me at all but HOCD thoughts make it difficult... been sort of struggling recently
@anxiouspetal Haven’t you read the comments. Nobody that went there wasn’t spiked. Well, what is done is done. I said it before, coming out stories are hard to deal with, and i suspect, that even in ERP they come very late. I hope you feel better soon. Seems like it has been a rough week for a lot of people…
