OCD targets everything that you fear most or want least. By you saying that you’d rather think about ending it all then being gay or bisexual, it’s clear to me that you have a lot of heavy internalized (negative) feelings towards being anything but a heterosexual, and your OCD is taking advantage of that. It’s the same as other types of OCD trying to convince someone that they might hurt someone they love when that’s the last thing they would ever want to do. Just know that you are in control of your life, no matter what your OCD tells you. If you feel this strongly, there is clearly nothing deep down that you’re having to admit to yourself. Life is very much worth living, you can get through this.

OCD will twist and turn you perception of everything. Use the anxiety as your indicator that's it's OCD. As hard as it is you need to stop analysing, which is a compulsion and sit with the discomfort.

OCD haunts your mind - believe me I've been here before in my life - but even my OCD won't let me acknowledge that. Seek counselling - look at doing ERP and maybe consider medication. I'm on fluoxotine which can give you a rough ride at first but has helped me in the past. Believe me - the mind is capable of creating this pure evil!

I’m a girl and sometimes I’d also catch myself fantasize about girls rather boys a lot. So to test myself, when I went to school I looked at pretty girls to see how I feel and then attractive guys. I realized that girls are really attractive but i wasn’t sexually attracted to them, while I’ve had many crushes on guys. I think I’m not used to the idea of the male body if that makes sense. I could never imagine myself doing it with a guy because their stuff seams weird to me but when I imagine it with a girl it just seems more familiar? But I found out that just because I find girls attractive doesn’t mean I’m sexually attracted to them if they makes sense. So have you had any ACTUAL crushes on a girl? Like irl? Did your heart beat faster when around them? Or is it only in your head? Lmk if you have any other questions

The thoughts still exist. For the last couple months I’ve been able to say I don’t care and lean into the comfort of being uncertain. Im having a tough time with some things personally right now and guess what decides to show up… Anyways, I’ve been trying to get used to the fact that maybe I’m bisexual with a romantic preference for men (I’m married and love my husband) but when you start going through your compulsions it’s soooo easy for everything to blur out. To my knowledge I’ve never had a crush on a woman but I’ve most definitely watched same sex porn and have thought women are hot and beautiful, then come the thoughts about comp het and how I’ve never been an overly sexual person so that MUST mean something. Ugh idk, just looking for someone to chat with I guess!

Anyone else will just be doing anything normal and I’m gay comes in? It’s so distressing and I try and say ok sure ocd but the anxiety over takes me and my mind won’t let me believe I’m straight when I am. I love men I’m Not attracted to women but when I ask myself the doubt is for sure there which sounds like Casebook ocd. I’m just sick of this I don’t want to have to laugh at things in my head that don’t make any sense it’s so hard and unfair

Ok so I’m a 17 year old female, and I’ve always thought I was straight. But I just really want to know how you would know the difference between so-ocd and actually questioning your sexuality. I have nothing against the LGBTQ community (in fact I am very much a token straight friend, lol) but I saw a video about comp-het recently and it sort of felt like what I was experiencing. I don’t want to be gay, I want to be with men, I want to like men, I’ve always liked men, but now I’m questioning whether or not that’s real? Because people can be gay but not want to be right? I’m single and I always have been. I think women are gorgeous, but when I try to imagine actually having any sort of romantic or sexual relationship with a woman it feels wrong, at least most of the time it does? Sometimes I’m less sure, and I’ve never been particularly boy crazy. I’ve liked maybe 2 or 3 people in my life, (not to say I’ve never found other guys attractive, but it doesn’t seem to be as often as most people) I have no particular reason to be afraid of being gay, very supportive family, safe area ect, but I don’t want to be, does that mean this is ocd, I don’t know what’s going on every time I say I’m straight I feel like I’m lying, but that might just be because I think about it so much. The idea of being with a woman doesn’t feel like something I would want, but is that just because I don’t want to want it? People online say things with so much sureness, if you feel like this it means this. Ect.
