I’m like this with a close girl friend of mine. I’m afraid I’ll fall in love with the same sex and she’s the closest same sex friend.

You have to be okay with having no answer to whether it’s true or not. That’s how you get rid of the fear forever , and also letting yourself be uncomfortable and anxious without constantly resisting against the anxiety. You’ll be good bro , relapses happen sadly and you have to be okay with the possibility of them happening. But the thing is , a relapse can only happen if you perceive your fear as something to be feared. You gotta change that mindset

I’m kinda going through this with some of my girlfriends. It could be HOCD, or it could also mean that you’re developing feelings (no reassurance here, just accepting uncertainty). But don’t spend time trying to either give yourself reasons why you like him, or why you don’t like him. Like the name popping up in your head hit home. Just say “hey x” or “so what” and keep it pushing (easier said than done). Although it doesn’t feel like it, the truth will reveal itself eventually. Until then, you’ll be okay either way.

Advices and similar stories
So for a while i have been suffering of HOCD combined with a little of ROCD and had massive episodes of anxiety and panic attacks, because of that I lost my attraction and my libido while also being in a relationship and that stresses me bad. Also since the start of the severe anxiety I started to lose it gradually over time and at the moment I do not feel any anxiety anymore while having these thoughts which makes me think that I want this to happen because they don’t disgust me anymore. Any advices on how to hold on and get over my OCD? Also is the disappearing of disgust a sign of recovery or denial?

HOCD question
Anyone else with HOCD get thoughts of like "people in denial try to distract themselves" or anything along those lines when just trying to move on from the thoughts. Having a pretty bad episode this morning at least anxiety wise.

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.
