I feel you, its so crazy. I dont know where it went and if it will come back but on some days i sliiightly feel it but like it doesnt feel the same, its under a loot of anxiety still. It doesnt feel as natural and genuine as it used too. I litteralt cant imagine how goodn life would be if it came back but inalso cant imagine it coming back. Like im soo different from how i used to be, i forgot what its like to be head over heels over a boy. I cant imagine how it would be to be myself again even tho its all i want

I literally assume everyone is gay because of their voice or even how they pose in pictures

Yes Ive done this a lot, its not as bad as it used to be but its almost like a gay radar to detect gay people so I can avoid them so people don't think I'm gay or they dont turn me gay. Everyplace you go become a minefield because gay people are everywhere, plus I'm probably labelling people who aren't gay as gay because of some tiny detail stereotype, and I'm definitely missing loads of actual gay people because not every gay person 'looks' or 'sounds' gay

I've noticed my mum does it all the time when watching TV. If a celebrity who is gay comes on she has to say 'you know he's gay' or shes a lesbian. If a man on tv she thinks sounds gay or camp, she will say it too. It usually didnt even cross my mind until she said it

I started having intrusive thoughts about my sexuality when I got into a relationship with my ex and I wondered if it would seemingly go away but it hasn’t and I find myself ruminating about it constantly especially before or during my period. Has anyone else felt with this?

I need too know that I'm not insane, really. I am 16 and for the past two weeks, this has been completely ruining my health and happiness. I only recently came out as a lesbian like 3 months ago after a lot of confusion about my attraction since I used to think I liked men. At first, I felt so sure that I liked women, but lately, I've been having these unwanted thoughts about the possibility of liking men. I never used to feel this way, but now, every time I look at a man, my brain obsessively fixates on it. It forces me to imagine kissing him, loving him, things I don’t want, and then tries to convince me that I do. It’s painful. The thought of this fills me with fear and anxiety, leading to panic attacks and breakdowns. I don’t want these thoughts. I hate them with every fiber of my being, but I’m terrified that one day I’ll act on them and somehow like it. I used to think I liked men, but back then, I was in a very unhealthy space in a time of escapism and something deeply parasocial. I’ve only ever liked the attention and validation a man could give me, but these experiences are somehow treated as further proof that I’m "bisexual." I’ve never been in a real relationship with anyone, which makes my brain constantly challenge me—telling me, “You don’t even know what love feels like.” It won’t shut up. It keeps obsessively trying to make me prove that I’m a lesbian, testing my reactions and questioning my certainty. Is this normal?

Hi everyone, I have been struggling with something for a while and I am starting to wonder if it is related to OCD. For as long as I can remember, I have had this habit of looking at people, whether friends, family, or strangers and even kids, through a lens that feels like it is from the perspective of someone who might find them attractive or sexualize them. I don’t want to feel attracted; it just feels like my brain automatically puts them in that perspective. I’ve done this for as long as I can remember, and I honestly thought it was just part of me being curious or creative. I have always thought this was just a quirk of my brain, but now I am starting to wonder if it is an OCD thing, especially since it feels automatic and I get anxious afterward. Has anyone else experienced this? I did not think this was part of OCD, but now I am not so sure.
