What happens when you start to heal from your principal theme, is that your ocd tells you: ☆ well maybe you are lying. You are just faking it. And anything has any meaning at all anymore. And bla bla bla, Im going to make your life miserable because you can't choose anything bla bla bla ☆ And to that, just answer: okay, whatever you say. You are not real. Not me. Just a thought. I can get through this. I can distract myself. This is not important at all. Everything doesn't need a why or an answer. Things just are, I like what I like, I don't need to ask myself all the time, I don't need to know to feel better. I don't need this. And with soooome time it will go away. Is not easy, but you can do it. That is erp. Because that feeling or that thought "Im lying to myself", is your anxiety disorder telling you that you have to start to obsses about this, so you can protect yourself from your fears :)

Anxiety has a lot of forms. You have adequate to a thought that is always in your head. That doesn't mean anything else. Your brain get used to that like every other thought you have everyday. The anxiety dissapearing means you are starting to heal because if you (re)learn to don't panic at your trauma you also don't give meaning to it. No compulsion. No rumination. Break the ocd cycle. And you will not think in your obsession so much, to a point that in a not long future you'll be fine again with it.

Hocd is literally a clown in my head.
Like I can’t think straight. This is making me doubt everything I’ve thought about myself and even makes me feel like I like the thoughts when I know I don’t. Like I would be less anxious at a time while I still have the thoughts and my mind would go “oh so you like it you must be gay” or the other one where I’m not anxious and I think of my attraction for girls that I’ve had my whole life and my mind goes “see now you’re not into them you’re gay” like it’s so stupid but so effective. I clearly remember being into girls my whole life but my mind is making me believe that all these attractions and feelings for women were all fake or “a thing of the past”. But I can still get aroused by women but I have this weird anxiety going on which brings these sensations/feelings and it’s so weird. Today I’ve spent my whole day thinking about it like I’ve been doing for 5 months now. I know that this aint normal but my mind just won’t let me live in peace. I never cared about my sexuality cuz I simply liked women my whole life but now my sexuality is a fundamental philosophy. I hate this.

acceptance
it feels like i accepted being gay and thats part of who i am but i still feel that tension and fake attraction whenever i see a man and i feel like i could be able to have a sexual intercourse with a man even though i dont want it is it still hocd or just denial? like i am feeling okey but there is still that doubt that how can i know that im not gay if i dont get disgusted by gay things or gay personality traits and at the same time i want to feel normal again like before

I don’t know what to do anymore, this started nearly a year ago and caused so much stress and panic attacks over the thought of loosing my boyfriend. Now it just feels real and that he always liked girls and suppressed it (but like the boys i always liked in the past were real feelings they had to be and with my boyfriend i love him) but i haven’t got much anxiety now feels like i want the thoughts and that they don’t bother me even tho they used to, this seems to happen every time i get a lil better, idk just feels so true and that’s what i acc want with no stress, just a lil scared.
