That sounds like OCD too. I know it’s hard, but let it scream and try not to pay attention to it. When something screams for attention and isn’t answered it eventually goes hoarse.
Nothing is really gone, my friend. Your OCD is lying to you, trying to convince you that it is. Keep fighting. You can do this.
It just feels so real. Like I don’t want to be with guys anymore only with girls. That all of the sudden I am attracted it women. That I can only imagine my future now with them. And it’s like I’ll never be happy with a guy because “that isn’t what I truly want” it feels so real. Like so real.
I am so over this. It’s telling me I want to date girls. And it feels as if I want it. Whenever I am not really attracted to a certain woman my head just starts screaming “YOU WANT THAT” “YOU WANT THAT” idk. It’s like all of the sudden I think of myself with guys and it doesn’t feel right. What even is this. What if this is what every gay person goes through? Oh my god, I just want my head to be silent for just a few minutes. This has been non stop
I want to peace. Peace of mind. Whenever I think about dating guys it doesn’t feel right anymore. It’s like I’ll never have another crush on a guy again. It feels as if from now one it all going to be girls. I don’t want this. It kinda feels right which makes it even worse. I am crying so hard right now :(
What you said happens to me everyday too. What is happening is that your brain has a kind of trauma, okay? Not as bad as it sounds, but it has. It has happened so much, the questions, the compulsion, the anxiety, etc... Now everytime you see a girl, you are just afraid. And is normal that in your state of mind, all your attention comes to that. This is what anxiety does. It tries to protect you for what you think is dangerous, so that you start to feel panic, you start to do more questions and finally have desperation about the theme. This is why ocd is a Disorder. Your anxiety doesn't work well. You have adequate your behaviours so bad into this, into ocd, that is always the same. There is treatment, medication to anxiety and depression, erp, uncertainty, cbt, actually talking with a therapist about this. You need that. And I understand that you only want to cry every night, because I do. I feel it. But that is okay. Do you really think all people here is that blind that we prefer to suffer from this, months or years, than accepting another sexuality? Because that is what is not true. Is just not right that this has to happen to you, I know. So much.. But here we are, and here we stand. And you are not alone. I don't have the answer you need. I'm not you. But also because I know something like that... just doesn't exist.
I literally have no reason to think this! I’ve never been attracted or had a crush on a girl! I don’t know why I keep worrying. All of the sudden I feel like my feelings for all my past crushes weren’t real. This sucks. I don’t know anything about myself anymore. It keeps trying to push this idea on my head. Like there is no reason for me to think that i am gay! The most possible “reason” would be finding women attractive, that’s it! But now I try to imagine my life partner and when I think of a guy a picture of a women quickly comes up. Sometimes I just wanna scream “I am gay” for no reason. Or when someone is talking about relationships I always think “I am different”. Or when someone talks about acceptance it really bothers me too. This is so bad, what am I even basing this idea on? Now, I it’s hard imagining a guy that I like, it’s weird. I feel like I am never going to like anyone again. Ugh this is draining me
I can’t anymore. I really can’t. The what if I am attracted to them. The “why does it have to be a man with a woman” (which by the way- I only now get when women are talking in love songs. And whenever I look at any couple). I am just tired. Tired of feelings like crap. I just want to go to what I was before, but was I like this before? Have I always been like this? I am tired. My anxiety levels are ALWAYS the worse at the morning. I am starting to obsess whether I like this friend now! And it doesn’t matter how much I try to accept it, it doesn’t go away. Like there is still something wrong. I hate this. I hate this so fucking much. At this point. How can I still be straight? I literally get triggered by everything. And how can I just not be gay? I have no reason to think that but it feels so real. It’s like I have no sexuality at all. And this is all that I can think about every single hour of my day. I am even thinking about this in dreams! I even wonder that the fact I am so upset right now is because I am scared of telling people and that they won’t accept me. When I don’t even know who I am myself. I am so done. What even is this? Have I always been like this? I am getting flashbacks and it’s telling me I have.
I’ve lost my sense of identity now (I don’t know how I am or what I want). I recently read that we can force ourselves to love people, be in denial when it comes to who we really are and develop attraction to an array of different people before and after puberty. Now it seems like my whole life is a lie. Has everything been forced? Am I secretly bi and in denial? Ugh, I hate it. To make it worse, I was recently watching a TV game show and a question about Katy Perry and her songs popped up. My immediate answer was her song I kissed a girl. Obviously, I took that as a mental sign. On top of that, I’ve had many “uncertain,” crushes (I wasn’t too sure whether I really liked them) that have actually developed into love. Now I’m wondering whether I forced myself to feel that way and I feel horrible; I just want to be with a man, not a woman. The idea of touching a women inappropriately makes me want to cry and throw up; it generally makes me distressed and uncomfortable. I don’t know what to do because I don’t know who I am anymore; I was so boy crazy and romantic beforehand. Now I’m plagued with anxiety and uncertainty.
