You don't have to, the treatmen for OCD it's not to accept being gay, or any other sexuality you might be thinking of, I have "came out" like 3 times and it never stopped the thoughs, the treatmen it's to try and not to engage in compulsions, such as reassurance, or confesion, or rumination, just accept that you had that though/feeling/sensation,etc, and it's just that, it doesn't have to mean anything

I’m struggling with the same thing too, but I remember reading something awhile back that said, “we do not obsess over things that are pleasant.” For example, we would not obsess over winning the lottery. This has been helping me a lot and recognizing that this is OCD.

I can’t imagine myself with a guy. I don’t even know if I want a guy. It’s like I’m convinced I’ll never want a guy. Even though I have, it’s just I feel like I don’t want to be with guys. I don’t even know if I want to be a lesbian or not That was horrible to admit. Well I guess that’s it. It completely sounds like I’m gay now.

I feel like I’m starting to deny my sexuality. Before this I never really thought about girls that way. Now I am and it terrifies me. It feels like I just don’t wanna accept that I’m lesbian. I’m so damn lost. It feels like I know I’m lesbian. But I just can’t be. Anyone feel this way? Probably reassurance but if any of you think I am or it seems like I am please tell me.

Please someone help me. I feel like I’m in denial. I feel like I don’t have ocd. It’s too real. The intrusive thoughts aren’t as frequent, I don’t have anxiety or do compulsions. I’m not even against the thoughts anymore. I can’t explain how real it feels. It can’t be ocd and the thing is I just don’t want to like girls. That’s it. I just don’t want to. But that sounds like I’m resisting my sexuality and it feels like this too. I’m sorry to everyone on this app but I don’t think I’m like u anymore. If things like internalised homophobia and comphet didn’t exist then I’d know I was straight but they do so now I think I’m just that. I don’t want to marry a girl or have sex with one or anything. I want to be straight and just fucking live my life. I’ve never had a boyfriend and I haven’t had a crush on a boy for years even though my ‘ocd’ started in the summer. I’ve had loads of male celebrity crushes that I’ve felt like I’ve loved and I don’t understand how those could’ve been fake but they must have been. Compulsions don’t comfort me I just watch tv to distract myself and that’s it. I can’t do this shit anymore. I don’t want to like girls but I have to be either bi or lesbian. Please I just want to be straight I don’t get it.
