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 keep seeing tiktoks of things that are like ‘things I did as a lesbian in denial’ or ‘things my not so straight straight friend said’ and I feel like I might relate to some!! But idk!! It’s kinda triggering me. I’ve had this 5 years on and off now so when it comes back the whole well you’ve had it so long you must be gay comes up. I have been with my boyfriend almost 6 years and i love him so much I don’t want to be gay (nothing weong with it - I’m just not and don’t want to be!)

I feel like I want to be lesbian. I want to cry. I gave into compulsions and I went on lesbian TikTok. It feels like something I want to try and do and that I’d be happier. Why is it so real. I don’t want to be lesbian but I feel like I’m pushing down the truth. How do I stop giving into these compulsions and feel better, I can’t do this anymore. I don’t even remember being straight or liking men. I hate this.
