You will never figure out your sexuality based on a feeling in hour stomach. I hope you can recognize that this is clearly a compulsion. Testing the body for responses to stimuli in this way doesn’t work because your anxiety and OCD mess with the results. Focus on accepting the stomach feeling and letting it pass. Don’t analyze it, try to suppress it, or look to it as a sign. It’s just a weird and uncomfortable feeling you got. And you can’t really know exactly what it meant.

Try your best not to check feelings. It only makes it worse. :(

Basically you’re using a flawed test to solve a flawed question. Checking is just another compulsion that will never give you the answer you want (emotions weren’t meant to be scrutinized in this way and they perform differently under direct observation like this) so repeating it again and again is only hurting and confusing you further. Let the thoughts and feelings happen. Accept that they’re there, acknowledge them, and move on. Don’t perform mental compulsions to try to “figure it all out.”

How did your so-ocd feel when it started?
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?

Feels so real
I don’t know if it’s SOOCD. I no longer feel anxious in the moment when I think about women, and it’s like my imagination wants me to think about it and get aroused. I don’t want to be gay, but maybe I am after all. In my life I haven’t been so sexually driven before (when I was living with a man, or when being single) but now all I can think about is having sex with a woman. I don’t want to, but somehow my body does and it feels like my mind have changed to accept it to.. feel so sad This all started around 4 weeks ago..

My life is over
I won’t explain this again if you’ve been or going through it you know what I’m talking about. I felt good about women about an hour ago and now I’m worrying again I’m anxious and the groinals are back and it’s so annoying because I can’t study. And honestly I’m so sick and tired of this. I’ve been a girl crazy my whole life and my mind randomly decides “well what if you are gay” like bro. I’ve never seen a guy that way and in general IT WAS NEVER SOMETHING I THOUGHT ABOUT OR ASSOCIATED MYSELF WITH. IVE NEVER FELT ANYTHING TOWARDS A MAN AND NOW IT FEELS LIKE IT RANDOMLY FLIPPED. I CANT DO THIS BRO. WHY WOULD THIS HAPPEN IVE BEEN GOING THROUGH INSECURITIES ALREADY AND MY ATTRACTION WAS THE ONLY REAL THING I HAD LEFT AND NOW THIS. HOW MUCH DO YOU HATE ME GOD.
