Did anyone see where Julianne Hough came out as bi? Like what?? I swear is a new celebrity coming out as bi every day and it just triggers my hocd even more.

Maybe they have hocd too? Hahha

She's hot! Never heard of her before

That’s what I’m thinking ?

So what if she's bi? So what if YOU'RE bi? It wouldn't make you a new person or even a different person. The more you fear it, the worse your OCD will get.

No it wouldn't. Being bi doesn't mean anything was a lie nor does it mean your life has to change. Being bi doesn't make you a new person, being bi means you still have attraction to the opposite sex, how does that equate to your life being a lie? It does not. This is irrational. There is no "bisexual life". You're in control of what you do, being bi wouldn't mean you're compelled to act on anything. This is OCD black and white thinking.

Yeah if we are all bi, big whoop. Literally changes nothing other than it gives you another opportunity to date someone. Having crippling depression and anxiety about it isn't normal, that's OCD because it's not even related to being gay or bi. Like I've said in replies before, it's an identity issue. Instead of fighting it, just say to yourself "yep cool I'm bi. Now what?". Be sarcastic to your OCD, because there is literally nothing problematic about being bi, it's OCD and identity issues. Also, try and separate sexuality from identity, attraction to someone doesn't equal an identity, nor should a sexuality be all that you are.

Yes. But you can't do it for reassurance. You can't do exposures whilst you feel reassured because "it's just OCD". You have to actually confront the feared scenario and not respond with conscious fear or compulsions.

Deep breaths, meditation, prayers, positive affirmations, working out in the gym, martial arts...do all the things that keep u stronger and in control

I doubt it. She seemed pretty proud of it lol

Haha probably trying to get more publicity

uhh it would be the worst thing to ever happen to me @Cheeks

And why is that?

I'm sure a lot of girls would see her and think shes hot. She's attractive woman, shes not my type and that okay too. Every man wont be attracted to every attractive woman. Every woman won't be attracted to every attractive man

Because I don’t want to be and I don’t want that life. That would mean that my whole life has been a lie and that I changed somehow. It would be awful. @Cheeks

It would be a pretty significant change if I was suddenly attracted to girls when my whole life I was attracted to guys only. Nobody wants to go from being straight to gay/bi. It would change our lives significantly. Nobody would be on here if we didn’t have a problem with it. @Cheeks

You say nobody would want their life to change going to bi but julianne hough just came out as bi. Has her life changed? No, she is still married to her husband who is supportive and want her to be happy

Yeah but she probably always knew she was and didn’t get crippling anxiety and depression from it either @ProgressNotPerfection

Now you're doing julianne houghs thinking for her. You don't know the inner workings of her mind

Well then great. So there’s a chance that she’s experienced everything we have and that we’re all probably bi. Great.

Is this an exposure technique? @Cheeks

If u don’t wanna be bi then just don’t act on ur thoughts my dear

Just kind of ignore them and re-focus on something which u want to do or wanna be

Focus on what u want to achieve in life and just ignore these thoughts as distractions

Don’t be angry over them or depressed or anything... just make an effort to ignore them and instead, focus on the task at hand I.e whatever u r doing at that particular moment

Slowly and gradually u will be able to have mastery over ur mind

That’s what I try to do anyway ?

Hopefully we will win in the end ???

My best wishes and prayers r with u ?
