It's like when you start to feel better and acknowledge your thoughts as just intrusive and then your ocd comes up with something else to make you obsess

I've there a few times these weeks but like you know you've reached that point when whatever your ocd brings up doesn't really make you overthink anymore and you can still act like yourself

I’m my attraction is definitely back maybe not all the way back but I can look at guys now and get attracted to them. I still get some false attractions, but overall I feel better

That's makes totally sense. I can't wait to reach that point too. Do you find it easier to enjoy the things you did before now?

It’s definitely easier to enjoy things. I play volleyball and when I was at tournaments before I was always so upset, I didn’t want to be there. I stopped enjoying the sport now I feel so much better!

Listen if you felt that way before all this and you were attracted to boys before you are straight. But if you’ve always felt attracted to girls too, then you could be bisexual. You shouldn’t worry about it, it will be alright! You would know if you were that way, I know you are saying you don’t know but deep down you do. Everything will be ALRIGHT!! Trust me❤️

I think I’m actually there, but I still think of the thoughts. I just don’t acknowledge them as much as before

It’s really is, I’m so glad I figured that out because I started to get confused as to why I was feeling better. I used to cry all the time and worry all the time. I’m so happy

Can I ask you something? Do the thoughts still seem real or confuse/get reaction out of you?

It’s kind of depends on the thought, like some thoughts trigger me a little bit. But I don’t worry about them to much. I used to get so upset when they would pop up. Now I just kind of know they aren’t true. Because if they were true I would know. It’s wouldn’t be a question if that makes since

I’m glad!! I really do feel better, it’s obviously not gone all the way but I really feel better. Sometimes I get upset because it’s still in my head, but I know I can make it, I’ve made it this far!!

Well everybody’s different, just remember it’s ok to think girls are pretty or attractive. It’s different if you would want to be in a relationship with them, or you would kiss them. Things like that. I don’t really know much about being a lesbian/gay/bisexual but my brothers that way and he said he felt that way since he was little. HE KNEW what he was. It’s hard to understand I know, but everything will get better!

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?

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?

I struggle with HOCD or SOOCD. I’m a married young woman to an amazing husband. I’ve had this since I was 16 but it only came in flair ups. However this round started in October, and it’s been really rough and I would just break down all the time. I went up on my medication and I actually noticed a difference! My thoughts were still very present but I wasn’t really paying attention to them or giving them power. HOWEVER right when I thought I was getting better, my brain started feeling and saying to myself that I just know I am bi but you want to make excuses for it like “oh it’s normal to find someone hot since we as a society have an interpretation of what that looks like” or “I see the girl as myself and that’s what ‘turns’ me on” or “well I mean that girl looks kind of like a man” and it’s it’s making me spiral. I won’t ever come out as Bi as deep in my soul I don’t feel I am. I have always wanted to be with men sexually and romantically and that has not changed but my brain is making me believe I am and I just don’t want to admit it. Please help me, what has helped you?
