Hi there! Thank you so much for reaching out on here. Iāve been in your exact spot. I understand your sadness and confusion. Iām so sorry. However, the good news is that there is treatment and it is HIGHLY effective for most people. Have you started ERP therapy through NOCD? I never knew my life could change so drastically. I still have OCD, and I still have flare ups (in one right now), but I know that OCD doesnāt control me. Sit with uncertainty as difficult as it is. Youāre stronger than you know. You can do this!

Hey.....I did have treatment but unfortunately I run out of funds. This is on my mind constantly and it feels as tho I want my feelings I just don't know how this is ocd anymore. I'm not sure my medication is working but I know it doesn't do miracles. I really find it hard to feel what I used to for women like the excitement has gone.....are you from the UK?

Sorry long post. Anyone feel like now theyāre just in extreme denial. Like when I was little I noticed guys more than girls in movies and was more drawn to them. I remember changing my mindset to switch that. 98%of my life has been straight until recently. I felt drawn to some guys but never thought of it sexually. Always had girl crushes dreams and porn. Now I watch porn and I feel like straight takes longer and then I go and watch gay porn and feel nothing until I tell myself itās two attractive dudes and love is love and imagine physical sensations and then it hits like suddenly. Like I have to convince myself itās alright. Then when I try again I can do all that but feel nothing and then straight porn works. Idk if itās just getting a fix or the first time works with anything or what but itās confusing. On top of that Iāve felt girl relationships including my wife maybe miss something and a guy maybe matches that feeling that but then I feel like Iād be missing something without a girl or my wife. Idk Iāve had some rough times in life with male figures in my life but idk. I feel like I have to convince myself more and more that Iām straight even more than the first time I dealt with this. Can someone relate? Please

Iāve completely lost myself. I canāt focus on my studies, I canāt go to the gym. Dang it I canāt even be around my male friends normally anymore. I got no idea why or how this happened but the only thing I know for sure is that I never questioned my sexuality neither doubted it. I never cared in general. I just liked girls. I keep testing and keep testing and keep testing my arousal but no matter how many times I see but I donāt feel the same way for guys that I do with girls my mind will always try to make me believe that I am gay. Itās like itās forcing me into an identity I never asked for. But at the end of the day like my psychologist told me. Sexuality doesnāt change. So since I never felt anything for guys in my life itās ocd. Iāve been up and down for 5 months now and while the last week I was feeling way better. Monday now and Iām back to zero. I just want to go back when everything was normal. I canāt keep living with this.
