That’s all just gender stereotyping. I always got stuck on being a woman with large feet as if that said something about my sexual preferences. Sexual preference isn’t as superficial as how you look/dress/act, it’s how you feel inside and then act on that. Sorry if that is too reassuring for this chat😂 you could be bi, who cares if you are.
Im not bi , lol im a 22 year old male whos only ever been with women and never had thoughts like this until 6 1/2 months ago from something . My sexuality changing not possible
I’ve been dealing with that too where out of the blue after being intimate with my husband, something didn’t feel right and I started questioning my sexuality out of the blue and every time I convinced myself “im straight” my mind keeps making me have doubts and I have never questioned myself all my life and im in my 30s. Im talking to someone about it now, but like you it has been making me uncomfortable and I get very scared and it makes me physically ill having these intrusive thoughts since August
I really hope you recover from this ! :( . This all happened to me bc of porn, i literally over thought what i finished to and next thing i know im freaking out for 3 months straight then it started to calm down and it got scary bc i felt like it was true. (Im sorry im embarrassed bc im talking about somethings) i could go all day with how i felt and feel now and my mind will never accept logic
That’s how it started with me and unfortunately I was pregnant and cause I’m still in recovery from delivering my son 10 months ago
Its really hard right now, i keep talking to my girlfriend about this and she cant help me , :( sometimes i say to myself can it be true so i can stop with the ocd stuff but in reality that wont happen. Ill either end up in a different theme or just be stuck on this forever. Happy late congrats on the new born ! But keep fighting through it :). You got this, that baby can be your motivation
Yes and thankfully I’ve got a supporting husband that has done his own research on ocd and postpartum stuff
Any advice i should give to my girlfriend with helping me with soocd ?
Just make sure she’s there to listen and hold your hand. If you’ve been using soothing techniques, tell her what they are, show her what to do so that way if the intrusive thoughts come back, she can work with you through it and she can be your reassurance
Thankyou !
It also helps knowing if she knows you well enough to know who you truly are. I’ve known my husband for 10 years and have been married for 5.5 years so he knows me very well to know who I am and that I am attracted to him and not women
We went to high-school together but never talked but she had a crush on me. But weve been around each other for almost 4 years now, i think she knows me well enough
I’m glad to hear that
I've been really overwhelmed with thoughts of detransitioning even though I don't want to like thinking I'm not a boy. It's been making my anxiety go up like crazy but I've never had this problem this much before, and I've always felt so proud of who I was and stuff but I don't know why this is coming up all of a sudden and I'm scared. I don't want to detransition but these thoughts won't go away. I often have feminine interests and have been trying to get into a better mindset and I feel like those things are making me feel more feminine and I don't want to feel that way.
I won’t explain this again if you’ve been or going through it you know what I’m talking about. I felt good about women about an hour ago and now I’m worrying again I’m anxious and the groinals are back and it’s so annoying because I can’t study. And honestly I’m so sick and tired of this. I’ve been a girl crazy my whole life and my mind randomly decides “well what if you are gay” like bro. I’ve never seen a guy that way and in general IT WAS NEVER SOMETHING I THOUGHT ABOUT OR ASSOCIATED MYSELF WITH. IVE NEVER FELT ANYTHING TOWARDS A MAN AND NOW IT FEELS LIKE IT RANDOMLY FLIPPED. I CANT DO THIS BRO. WHY WOULD THIS HAPPEN IVE BEEN GOING THROUGH INSECURITIES ALREADY AND MY ATTRACTION WAS THE ONLY REAL THING I HAD LEFT AND NOW THIS. HOW MUCH DO YOU HATE ME GOD.
i had recently been triggered to have so-ocd. its been on my mind non-stop. (i am a heterosexual female) and my mind has been all over the place questioning if i have been in denial the entire time. ive always had people tell me they sort of got that vibe it it never really affected me until my own mother had her suspicions. so i would constantly get triggered un public around the same gender, while knowing my true sexuality. ive always been attracted to men but as of recently ive been having super bad anxiety to where i cannot eat or sleep and feel weak all the time. it was like that for a week or so. now im in the calm where i have been trying accept the uncertainty but it still isnt fair as im getting triggered. im a little worried because it feels like i have been lying to my parents the entire time although ive never had the desire to be with the same gender. and i keep getting intrusive thoguhts that make me feel anxious and uncomfortable. its all starting to affect my friendships as im constantly getting triggered with the intrusive thoguhts. i feel a little less anxious compared to how i was a couple days ago. im really scared on why im having these thoughts now when i have been having romantic feelings for a guy the past year or so. ive also been struggling with false attraction and loss attraction to men. it makes me feel uncertain of my life the entire time
