You should set hanging out with your female best friend as an exposure

I think there might be another explanation as to why you feel good about saying it aloud: it no longer has such a fearful grip on you that you think if you say it, it’s more likely to be true (magical thinking). You’ve habituated a degree of anxiety around this obsession and that’s something to be proud of. Don’t be scared it will rear it’s ugly head again- if it does you’ve got the skills to ride out the anxiety and habituate to it again

It’s just OCD playing tricks on you

I know it all seems so real, but I used to have an obsession that scared me so much because it seemed so real. Then eventually it stopped seeming real, I had to talk back thousands of times and I ignored the thoughts, but it stopped.

they all seem so real, which is why they’re so scary!! if it was ocd at one point, then it’s always ocd. stay strong!!

Sorry that I keep replying, I just thought of something. Maybe your not enjoying the thought of being gay, maybe your just enjoying thinking about having a companion (which wouldn’t be a girl, but since you’re afraid of that, OCD replaces your ideal companion with a girl to annoy you and scare you.)

Please don’t apologise for replying it’s helping me so much! I’d not thought about it from that point of view, you see I’m anxious about going back to uni as there were a few girls on my course who triggered my thoughts when hocd first happened. I haven’t seen my girl best friends in months! And I miss them! I have my boyfriend and he makes a great companion but I only get to see him once or twice a week because of our distance, he’s also moving away for work for a month soon which keeps playing on my mind

That’s kinda my question. All my thoughts feel so realistic and so now I doubt if they are ocd and if I just can’t make my mind up about something and I’m using ocd as an excuse or something idc I feel like this post is word vomit.

Sorry long post. Anyone feel like now they’re just in extreme denial. Like when I was little I noticed guys more than girls in movies and was more drawn to them. I remember changing my mindset to switch that. 98%of my life has been straight until recently. I felt drawn to some guys but never thought of it sexually. Always had girl crushes dreams and porn. Now I watch porn and I feel like straight takes longer and then I go and watch gay porn and feel nothing until I tell myself it’s two attractive dudes and love is love and imagine physical sensations and then it hits like suddenly. Like I have to convince myself it’s alright. Then when I try again I can do all that but feel nothing and then straight porn works. Idk if it’s just getting a fix or the first time works with anything or what but it’s confusing. On top of that I’ve felt girl relationships including my wife maybe miss something and a guy maybe matches that feeling that but then I feel like I’d be missing something without a girl or my wife. Idk I’ve had some rough times in life with male figures in my life but idk. I feel like I have to convince myself more and more that I’m straight even more than the first time I dealt with this. Can someone relate? Please

I’m on my period and o think my ocd feels a little worse today… I feel anxious and like something bad is about to happen, like I can’t move or talk cause I’ll freak out or snap and do something. Also I had a gronial response about an SA topic and I feel horrible, I’ve noticed that I do have these gronials as if I’m actually into that but idk if it can happen that you have the gronial and think “oh I’m horny, not about this but I am” is that possible? Idk how to say it… also I think I just want reassurance but I’m also scared…
