Question for SOOCD community

I just got a girlfriend who I love and am still with today I was sacred to lose her and I thought that maybe I was gay and would lose her

Mine started when i was 11 turning 12 years old

In my last post i desribed what started my so ocd

I got it one random night driving to a friends house 9 years ago, I don’t remember what triggered it, it persisted for a horrible 5 months and completely went away. I actually forgot about it until it got triggered recently when I did a gummy and go super paranoid and was having racing thoughts and for some reason that was one of them and it stuck. Now 4 months later I’m doing better but not fully over it.

For me I struggled with “performance anxiety” a couple times with different girls. After the last one I jokingly said to myself maybe I’m gay. Then I had a dream about it which caused me to have a panic attack when I woke up. That was about 8 months ago. I’m better now but still have my struggles here and there.

I think I was 10 or 12 and I was watchint high school musical 2 and at one point they zoom in on sharpay’s legs by the pool and I felt something down there and I was like “ ong omg omg what does that mean”

mine mostly started in the pandemic and during this period, i was very mentally unwell, suffering from severe depression and anxiety. i'm pretty sure i had a different theme of ocd before that but my SOOCD was triggered during this time and i don’t know the reason why, i just woke up and suddenly im questioning my sexual orientation

I think mine started because I was wondering why I didn’t wanna have sex with my boyfriend at the time. My friend also came out as bisexual and in my head at the time I thought “me tooo.” I think this is what started it but I think more so from not wanting to have sex and then having sex and not enjoying it that first time.

I was 14/15 and at school some of us were having a conversation about if you are born gay or you chose to be it and then that triggered it for me. I had it for a few months then it went away and then came back 1000x stronger for just under a year and then went away for so long with occasional flare ups but only a couple days at and time and now I’m back with it again from end of July but I’m feeling better with it now( in between this I’ve also had really bad health ocd/anxiety and the fear of schizophrenia ocd

Mine was when I was 19. I’d been to have my nails done with my mum and I had a thought of “what if I’m gay?” I’d been having intrusive thoughts for a while but I had shrugged them off like everyone else. I’d had boyfriends and always fancied boys. I was always shy when it came to sex. When I liked a boy in my teens I was obsessed. To the point where I’d get myself upset that they didn’t like me back. During this period when I had my first spiral I’d not liked anyone for a while which was not like me and I freaked out. I thought maybe “if I don’t want casual sex that must mean I’m gay?” Crazy right? Before soocd I was so confident in my sexuality that I’d often talk about “girl crushes” and I remember even once saying “they do say sexuality is a spectrum” to my friends when we was discussing the topic. Then boom all of a sudden I lost myself!

im 24. mine started like 8 months ago, the same as you when a character on a show came out as gay and my mind was like “what if that is me”.
