Yes I am at moment I am still suffering with it to a degree but it isn’t stopping me having a fulfilling loving relationship with my girlfriend. It’s helped me to realise that the content of OCD is crap. Regardless of the specific theme it always has the same pattern of doubt and feeling like I need to be certain about something be that my sexuality or wether or not I have hurt someone. Doing the opposite of what it wants me to do i.e embracing doubt and accepting the uncertainty has helped me a lot. You are not alone and you can overcome this

Ocd makes you feel like that, it's normal. Remember that you and almost every single person thinks they're an exception in ocd. It will try its best to try to get in your mind. It's trying to convince you, so the thoughts are naturally going to be convincing. You can't give them much space, just say whatever, I'll deal with this later.

There's an YouTube called Chrissie Hodges. She dealt with hocd when she was a teen and is dating a guy nowadays!

Oh, and I've read about another woman that also recovered from hocd, and she talked about her sexuality so confidently. She was 100% sure she was straight, and at the same time, was confident enough to say that she found women attractive. But still, she was straight, and sure of it. It was an interview, and she answered many questions readers made. Me being me didn't save the website, And now I can't find it anymore, unfortunately. What matter though, is that she went through the same thing as us, and nowadays is completely over it!

I don’t want to date anyone now. OCD made me not confident enough to love someone while I know I’m not the way ocd compels me to think I’m :(

I currently just got out of a relationship. Whenever a woman is a bitch to me, it makes my ocd worse. "See you don't even like women." She ended up cheating on me and now I feel kind of mentally castrated. There is a wonderful woman at work that seems like the girl of my dreams, but I also feel numb. I am really trying to do erp right now because I don't want to deal with this while pursuing her. I hope 3 months of serious erp will help me enough to try again.

I’ve had so many moments of clarity with my OCD that I love my boyfriend and I’m beyond willing to go through this to be better and be with him. in the back of mind I’ve in a way known I was at least somewhat sexually attracted to women (I’m a woman) since the start of the ocd it was always like “okay. Fine, but I don’t want to date a girl” I only just realized this after the ocd started, I never really argued with this. my ocd has always revolved around if I’m romantically interested in women and not men. I’ve done so many compulsions through this year and a half and 9 times out of 10 have come to the conclusion that I don’t want to be with a woman romantically. I always end up feeling like I know I love my boyfriend. But the doubts don’t stop about whether I want to spend my life with a woman instead, my heart literally breaks to think of not being with my bf and imagining him with someone else. I don’t want to be with a woman I know deep down somewhere underneath the anxiety that that’s not what I want. It doesn’t feel natural for me, unfulfilling. I want to tell my boyfriend about the possible sexual attraction to women (ik it’s still ocd related) but I’m scared that once I tell him, I’ll realize that I actually do want to be with women and not with him. Ugh I’ve spent hours today ruminating about this after being solid in my commitment with him for a little while, I’m stuck in this loop and idk how to get out right now

I’m 25 and never ever thought this before my soocd relapse. I have a bf of 5 years. Never been a high libido kinda girl. Don’t get me wrong I do get turned on by my bf but not like every day you know? - That had always been in the back of my head, is this normal and ok? But my ocd has latched onto the most scariest what if EVER. My brain is now saying How do you know you won’t prefer to sleep and kiss girls if you haven’t tried it: and it’s that unknown that is scaring the shit out of me. I DONT AND NEVER HAVE wanted to sleep / kiss a girl. But now my intrusive thoughts is all I think about!!! I don’t want I don’t want I don’t want??? So why does my brain think BUT WHAT IF??? I know ocd thrives off uncertainty which is why I think this is happening? But I don’t wanna find out or work it out because all I want is to be with my bf and marry him!! Is this just the epitome of OCD?

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
