So i started to feel like a lesbian again and that i have to be one. I dont want to be one. I just dont. But being straight feel like a lie now. I question my whole life, my feelings and everything. The biggest indicator of this must be that i will be slowly 21 year old and ive never dated anyone and i dont really find anyone attractive and i dont even know if i truly was attracted to someone and im scared of relationships i might have trauma or have anxious avoidant attachment. Help me. I do feel lost. Really lost. I dont know who am I anymore. I feel like that i must have been gay my whole life now. I feel like an alien. I sometimes feel like 2 people are living inside of me.ššš

I honestly canāt tell when thoughts are being affected by OCD. Sometimes I think I have what I think are normal āgreyā thoughts, but then OCD adds so much weight to them and I spiral. I had this thought that I wished my boyfriend was more confident or independent. I felt so guilty for thinking it. I told him, and of course it hurt him. He told me itās a normal thought to have, I just dwell on it too much. And that itās the kind of thought most people keep to themselves. Thatās the thing. I donāt know whatās okay to keep to myself and what isnāt. I think sometimes I say things out loud not just to relieve anxiety, but because I genuinely donāt know whatās okay to think or say. I do not know the line between a normal grey thought and something thatās ābadā to think. I donāt know how to tell if itās something I should process privately or something I need to be ashamed of. I get this confusion with intrusive thoughts too, but those are easier to spot and evaluate. This is harder, because again, it is *my* thought. That makes it harder to sit with. Maybe the intrusive part is the voice that questions what kind of person I am for even thinking it. I donāt have the same telltale signs anymore. My physical anxiety isnāt there anymore, itās all in my head and that makes it so much more confusing. But I donāt know. The line between honesty vs compulsion is so blurry. I just feel lost

I feel like Iāve lost who I am , even since my depression and ocd started. I donāt even know what I like anymore:(( I doubt everything I think and itās so draining because I just want to feel like my old self againš I feel like I have no motivation to get better which is bothering me so much because I want too but something is holding me back from doing what I need to do :/ with all my thoughts and doubts , I feel like I canāt trust myself . I donāt know if Iām the only one that feels this much pain
