Intrusive thoughts are suposed to be the oposite of you!! Your not lesbian and you know it!! It just all anxiety and ocd!! These are all fake thoughts and feelings! You know deep down who you are! The fact that the thoughts are so distressing and unwanted are just prove that you are straight! Go see a doctor!! Medication helps a lot!!

thank you a lot, I’ll keep all of this in mind. just seems impossible to look at boys or girls the same. I can’t see any therapists or doctors because I’d have to tell my family first but I can’t because they would just translate it as I’m gay and they’re super homophobic and won’t understand that it’s just ocd.

i totally agree. the phrase “you don’t choose who you love” gives me SO much anxiety because that means i have no control over it. but i guess that’s what i need to accept; that i don’t have control over it. the worst part is that i feel like my brain is FORCING me to be lesbian, even though i really do not want to for so many reasons. but again, i need to accept that uncertainty. MAYBE i’m gay and MAYBE you’re gay. we’ll never know 100% and that’s ok, we don’t have to. we just have to take it day by day!!

also, i’m in the same boat as you. completely. i haven’t told my parents either and i’m so afraid to because i don’t want them to think that it means i’m gay. it kills me not to tell them, but i really think they’d take it the wrong way. i can just imagine how the conversation would go and i just have a feeling that they won’t understand that this doesn’t mean i’m gay,,, it’s just my brain. i completely understand what you’re going through.

hey guys, i am really really struggling and i feel like crying. evry day i get this feeling of sexual attraction to the same gender, and i get those feelings even just thinking about it now. i hste them and want them to go away but they simply won’t and it has me thinking that this is just how my life is gonna be like. when i was fully healed or atleast thought i was healed from the false attraction and soocd, i still sometimes got that attraction feeling, and i would force my body not to feel it. i hated it and was scared of liking it so i would like stop breathing and make it stop. it was only ever occasional but this is making me concerned now too, because i still sometimes felt that feeling when i was healed. now currently my main trigger is masculine girls, but when my soocd first started i had no false attraction or attraction like this towards girls, and it was all just in my mind like saying, “don’t look at that girl or you’re gay.” there was one point in my soocd where i was worried about being attracted to my friends, but i am greatful in the sense of i know that that is not true and my main issue is the false attraction watching videos and i have experienced it once in real life too and i hated it. please lmk what i should do or even if you can relate. i am sick of feeling th is way, and i am a christian too so this makes it harder. i’ve tried everything like accepting it, or trying to even say to myself yes u do like it but it always just leads to me being scared.

I have been doing okay for the past week or so and was really happy i felt that i was getting back on track, but today i went on tiktok and i saw something triggering which was “i thought i was a lesbian for 4 years until i met my now boyfriend” and it triggered me very badly, i have been crying all day and i can’t seem to make myself feel okay. i feel like im lying to myself that im not lesbian and i truly want men, but when i get any thought about men it feels disgusting and wrong and not me, i don’t want men i feel so sick i want to get out of this. i always felt so happy as a lesbian im so stuck i don’t want to be with a man. i have a loving girlfriend i just want to be happy with her.
