I think it’s more sexual orientation OCD. Many people go from worrying they’re gay to worrying they’re bi to worrying they’re asexual, etc. It’s all the same. It’s the constant doubt that leads you to exploring and freaking out about every possibility. Treat it all the same: feed it uncertainty (“maybe I am that, maybe I’m not. Can’t know for sure either way.”) and sit with any anxiety that arises until it naturally dissipates without performing compulsions (including mental compulsions like body checking, ruminating, trying to “figure it out”, internet research, etc.) Be uncertain! It’s okay.
Get these thoughts all of the time! You’re going to be fine. I actually haven’t dated a guy before and I’m heading towards that direction with one of my guy friends right now, but I didn’t feel like that before. My anxiety screamed at me and told me all of these crazy things and it made my attraction just turn off because I was so full of anxiety. Then, I stopped ruminating and started to live in the moment and accept the uncertainty and get back to where I was before the thoughts hit. I started to realize it was ocd all along and got better. I still have intrusive thoughts, but they don’t rule my life in the slightest. You can get there too!?

Thank you
I’m confused why I can’t imagine having a boyfriend! It’s kinda causing me so distress because I really want some and then their is another part of me that’s like no you don’t is this my anxiety or just me or could I be asexual? I also suffer from hocd
Is it hocd or have I actually all of a sudden stopped wanting to be with a guy. I have always known I wanted to be in a relationship with a guy but ever since I got these instrusive thoughts about 3 months ago it’s only getting worse and now i dont even know who I am and if I want to date a guy or a girl. I know I don’t want to date a girl but every time I tell myself I want to date a guy I feel like somethings telling me “no you want to be with girls and you don’t have hocd you’re just in denial” Another thing that scares me is that I have never really been boy crazy and I have had small crushes on guys never on girls but every time I have thought a girl was pretty I’m like what if I thought she was attractive and I would have these crushes (they weren’t that crazy)
How do I know if I’m asexual or if it’s really just hocd? Ive been obsessing over this for days. I don’t want to be asexual at all. I consider myself straight and not to long ago I got over the themes of gay and bisexuality of hocd. I don’t think about sex all that much maybe one every two weeks and I do want sex one day right now I just have that eh like it ok or whatever feeling about it and I don’t know does this stuff mean I’m asexual I have had slit of crushes before but I don’t know if I’m asexual. I need help!??
