I have been straight all my life I seen this thing on the internet saying that people can get wrong think they are straight all their life and then wrong and was gay the thing is I never thought about this topic before ever the thing is I have autism as well so I take this literally that I can turn homosexual I don’t think their is anything wrong with it but it’s not the life I want at all I was happy before all this happened
It don’t add up I never once thought about this even the day before this happened I feel like my old life has been stolen from me I hate this
I don't think you're just going to go from straight to gay but it is possible to get to a point where you realise you're more bisexual than straight. And if you happen to be bisexual, who cares. There are plenty of bisexual people in monogamous relationships. Nothing has to change.
I am seeing a psychologist who is Training me to step away from the thoughts and let them pass over like clouds in the sky… it feels like it been stolen from me because I have girl friend who I have been with for 5 years now and two kids before all this I think am gay thoughts happened I was living life and happy I hope their is light at the end of this tunnel
Thanks I don’t think I am bi I just feel numb all day every day this sucks honestly
I know what you mean about the constant numbness. It's no way to live. I am getting that from other obsessions.
Yeah if just numbness and clouded head all the time
My head just keeps streaming am gay over and over I just can’t be I love my girl friend and what I have now I don’t want this ocd makes me feel like I do though I HATE THIS
Can sexual orientation ocd make you act on your fears and make you have same sex experiences ever and then after the experience realize that’s not what you are or want?
I need too know that I'm not insane, really. I am 16 and for the past two weeks, this has been completely ruining my health and happiness. I only recently came out as a lesbian like 3 months ago after a lot of confusion about my attraction since I used to think I liked men. At first, I felt so sure that I liked women, but lately, I've been having these unwanted thoughts about the possibility of liking men. I never used to feel this way, but now, every time I look at a man, my brain obsessively fixates on it. It forces me to imagine kissing him, loving him, things I don’t want, and then tries to convince me that I do. It’s painful. The thought of this fills me with fear and anxiety, leading to panic attacks and breakdowns. I don’t want these thoughts. I hate them with every fiber of my being, but I’m terrified that one day I’ll act on them and somehow like it. I used to think I liked men, but back then, I was in a very unhealthy space in a time of escapism and something deeply parasocial. I’ve only ever liked the attention and validation a man could give me, but these experiences are somehow treated as further proof that I’m "bisexual." I’ve never been in a real relationship with anyone, which makes my brain constantly challenge me—telling me, “You don’t even know what love feels like.” It won’t shut up. It keeps obsessively trying to make me prove that I’m a lesbian, testing my reactions and questioning my certainty. Is this normal?
For me it was a weird intrusive thought and after that I slowly started developing anxiety and I felt a weird thing like I was losing my attraction to girls. Then I woke up one day in complete panic cuz it felt like I had lost feelings for girls suddenly and I started searching online how to know if you’re gay if sexuality changes suddenly and I took some gay tests or sexuality tests online. Chat gpt was a big thing back then too. That was before therapy and before I knew what ocd is.Can anyone relate?
