Memory of a thought
Hi, I need help. I really don’t know what to do. I have had ocd and intrusive thoughts my whole life pretty much but I wasn’t diagnosed until I was 19. Before I was diagnosed I didn’t really know what they were or meant for a long time. Once I remember thinking “I’m bi but I wouldn’t act on it because of what my family and friends might think, so I will just date guys” and this memory HAUNTS me. I don’t know if I really believed this about myself or if it was an intrusive thought. My brain tells me I ABSOLUTELY 100% accepted it but I don’t know really. I don’t think I’m bi now but soemtimes my ocd still tries to convince me that I am and I am not sure. I feel like this memory is proof IF I really accepted it and it was an egosyntonic thought not an egodystonic one. It also says it suppressing my want to be bi bc of other people and that I really do want it I just don’t want to be judged. I can’t ruminate ab this anymore. It’s torture. Someone pls help me if you have advice
