Part of ocd... Is thinking it's probably not ocd. Hang in there. You've made progress with the fact that you've met with a therapist and got diagnosed.

Uh I feel like I lie to myself as well so much. But if I was actually lesbian I wouldn’t have these feelings for boys before. I know it was real, I can’t be lesbian. I get sexually aroused with men. But I’m learning to be okay if I am. And most of the time it makes me feel better because I know where my real attraction is. It’s just you ocd. Getting a therapist to say you just have hocd, will make you feel like they’re lying. Or that youre lying, and they’re saying it to make you feel better. It’s a crap feeling. I hope you recover from this painful ocd! I wish you luck!

Lately I’ve been accepting it. “Maybe I am lesbian but who cares?” Then I have my panic moments when I see a girl and I say “wait I think she’s pretty, or why did I just look at her” and then I say “oh yeah cause I’m lesbian” but honestly. In my head I’m just like “no you’re not” and it honestly decreases my anxiety I know I’m not lesbian. I’m trying to accept that I could find the same sex attractive or just accept that I’m looking at them. I don’t wanna dig deeper because there is no deeper meaning. I know I only wanna be with the opposite sex. I’m happy with them. You’ll be okay, it’s just ocd.

Hocd is literally a clown in my head.
Like I can’t think straight. This is making me doubt everything I’ve thought about myself and even makes me feel like I like the thoughts when I know I don’t. Like I would be less anxious at a time while I still have the thoughts and my mind would go “oh so you like it you must be gay” or the other one where I’m not anxious and I think of my attraction for girls that I’ve had my whole life and my mind goes “see now you’re not into them you’re gay” like it’s so stupid but so effective. I clearly remember being into girls my whole life but my mind is making me believe that all these attractions and feelings for women were all fake or “a thing of the past”. But I can still get aroused by women but I have this weird anxiety going on which brings these sensations/feelings and it’s so weird. Today I’ve spent my whole day thinking about it like I’ve been doing for 5 months now. I know that this aint normal but my mind just won’t let me live in peace. I never cared about my sexuality cuz I simply liked women my whole life but now my sexuality is a fundamental philosophy. I hate this.

hocd
I don’t know what to do anymore, this started nearly a year ago and caused so much stress and panic attacks over the thought of loosing my boyfriend. Now it just feels real and that he always liked girls and suppressed it (but like the boys i always liked in the past were real feelings they had to be and with my boyfriend i love him) but i haven’t got much anxiety now feels like i want the thoughts and that they don’t bother me even tho they used to, this seems to happen every time i get a lil better, idk just feels so true and that’s what i acc want with no stress, just a lil scared.
