Take a deep breath.... you're going to be okay. This is the power of anxiety:it sends you into panic mode and makes you feel more lost, scared and confused by the second....but you're going to be okay. I really think you should consider talking to your therapist again....you thinking that he's going to think you're rude is part of that anxiety... but turns out that he's probably going to understand. That's the point of a therapist- no judgement. He's going to walk you through exercises that help you access these thoughts and feelings individually. You can overcome this anxiety. I know how you feelđŁ... sometimes I just wanna grab anxiety's spindly legs and fling it across the room,out of my mind. You're going to be okay â¤ď¸

You have to take that next step. You have to push yourself, step into the light. Discover yourself, celebrate yourself, be gentle with yourself. You may come to find out youâre not gay at all, itâs just the fear that made you feel this way. But you wonât know until you try

â¤ď¸â¤ď¸â¤ď¸ keep posting on here if you need to. Keep doing what you can to reach out for support and help. You are not alone. You are not wrong for the way you feel. You are not wrong for being sick. You need help and support and compassion. Youâre a human being just like the rest of us, you are a complex individual and there isnât a single thing about you that is bad or wrong. You deserve to be heard and understood. You deserve to be free from how distressing your thoughts are. Even if you are âjust gayâ, you are still experience a lot of pain and distress and you still deserve help with that. You shouldnât feel so horrible about your thoughts and about who you are. You have your whole lifetime to figure out your gender and sexuality and what you want in a partner. In the mean time, you shouldnât feel horrible about every thought and what those thoughts might mean, and you should be able to love and accept every new thing you learn about yourself, no matter what those things may be. You donât have to figure out your sexuality right now. You HAVE to get the help you need to stop feeling so horrible all the time. You deserve it.

Remember, this is hocd, if you are afraid of your sexual orientation and it doesn't bring you relief, it is ocd and not a true thing

I feel like I'm lying to myself, like I just don't accept that I'm gay, I don't want to be gay, I don't want to feel any kind of attraction anymore, I want to go to a psychologist to find out if I really have hocd or if it's just an excuse, because it feels like I really am gay, but nothing was authentic, it all started with thoughts that made me panic extremely hard and I felt like crying and I had delusions, I don't understand why this is happening to me, I didn't like any boys before the thoughts appeared, but exactly one day after they appeared, all the boys were attractive, of all ages, I want to recover :( I'm only 17 years old, for about 2 months I've been having thoughts, I don't know what to do, I can't go to a psychologist, I need help :(

I feel like the thoughts and feelings are getting stronger, to the point where they feel like they are my own and that I want them and want them to happen. Recently Iâve even had feelings of âwanting to be gayâ and that I âdonât want to be straightâ, or that being with a woman would be nice even though thatâs literally the one thing I donât want otherwise I wouldnât be constantly thinking about it day after day surely and if I wanted it I would just know? I feel numb and sick and terrified that Iâll just be what Iâve feared all this time. Why does my brain do this. I feel like Iâve lost so much already, I couldnât concentrate on university work and Iâve had to delay my degree for a year, Iâve lost my purpose, and I feel so ashamed that I canât tell anyone the real reason for it (I just told everyone the course was too much stress and was causing me anxiety) and it just feels like itâs getting worse to the point that itâs actually coming true, and Iâm going to have to leave my boyfriend because I canât be with him anymore. Why do the thoughts sometimes feel good? Why does it feel like real attraction? Why why why does it feel like DISAPPOINTMENT with the idea of never being with a woman wtf this is literally what I donât want and never have? Even just writing that out my brain is telling me âit isâ and âIâm lyingâ and I just canât even believe myself anymore. Iâve tried telling myself the whole maybe maybe not but it just doesnât work. It feels like if I accept I like woman Iâll want to be with one and leave him. Why does the idea of being with a man not fill me with excitement like it used to why do labels terrify me I genuinely just want to give up I still havenât even told anyone about this cause I just feel like they wonât understand and that they will just think Iâm struggling with my sexuality and the worst thing is I donât even know what I want anymore cause of the thoughts and feelings I donât know what to believe what if I am actually just struggling with my sexuality cause nothing feels right anymore
