Hi. I know it’s really really tough and horrible but you need to try to stay off Reddit. That’s a compulsion. You can do this!!!

@lennygirl It’s a random person on the internet that has no idea what you suffer from. And yes I agree with the comment below being triggering.

@OCD33 I imagined myself in that scenario and it feels like I liked it.

@lennygirl You are focusing on it and the feelings. How many hours a day do you ruminate about this theme?

@lennygirl Don’t we think that’s an obsession then?

Totally an obsession. Best thing you can do is say “maybe I am, maybe I’m not.” Or agree with the thought and say “I am bi,” and sit with that fear/uncertainty. You are so much stronger than you think, and I’m glad you’re here fighting this beast <3

Reassurance seeking is a compulsion, so is ruminating/figuring it out. It’s okay if you mess up and engage in them, but realize it will keep you stuck in the cycle the more often you do compulsions. I have all the love and compassion for you tho, I know it is so tough :)

Hi! Lesbian here. What’s wrong with being bi, babe? I used to feel this way but now I’m engaged to the woman of my dreams and I’ve never been happier. Literally sitting in Hawaii with her right now, about to eat dinner. How can I help? You deserve happiness. Authentic happiness.

I know you mean well, but are you familiar with SOOCD?

@lennygirl Oh I’m sorry I think I got the context flip flopped, here. I was thinking you were struggling with your SO because of intrusive thoughts of “bi=bad” And I am still learning on this app so I really apologize for invalidating your experience.

I keep seeing tiktoks of things that are like ‘things I did as a lesbian in denial’ or ‘things my not so straight straight friend said’ and I feel like I might relate to some!! But idk!! It’s kinda triggering me. I’ve had this 5 years on and off now so when it comes back the whole well you’ve had it so long you must be gay comes up. I have been with my boyfriend almost 6 years and i love him so much I don’t want to be gay (nothing weong with it - I’m just not and don’t want to be!)

Hi everyone, I’ve been really anxious lately, and I just need to get this out of my head. Someone recently told me that maybe I’m bisexual — that I might be more sexually attracted to women, but more romantically attracted to men. That bisexuality is not 50/50. And ever since I heard that, I’ve been spiraling. The thing is: I don’t want this to be true. It scares me. I don’t feel romantic attraction to women, I’ve never wanted to be in a relationship with one. But yes, I get aroused by fantasies involving women — and that makes me feel broken or like I’ve been lying to myself. I love my boyfriend deeply, I don’t want to lose him. I want to feel fully connected to him, physically and emotionally. But now I’m stuck in this obsessive loop of questioning: “What if I’m just in denial?” “What if I’m not really straight?” “What if this is why my libido is low?” It’s exhausting, and I don’t know if this is OCD, anxiety, or if something is fundamentally wrong. Has anyone else felt this split — romantic feelings for one gender, sexual feelings for another? I feel so alone and scared. Thanks for listening.
