Yeah I get it, I have it as well so I know how you feel. But what do you want? What do you want to come home to? Don’t let your mind pick, make yourself pick. Your mind will tell you different than what you truly want if you have OCD. Ask yourself these basic questions, and that’s your answer. But of course OCD will make you doubt that answer, but don’t let the doubt fool you. Don’t let the OCD take over.

I think this is the wrong question to be asking. I think the right one would be “ how do I accept the possibility of being gay ? “. That’s going to get under the fear and turn it into something that is no longer a fear. Because once this question is answered , you’ll move onto something similar or something completely different. I’m sure you already know this but just wanted to say it just Incase. You could do things like talk to gay people or go to a gay club ( obviously not to do anything , just to see that they’re normal people and can live fun lives too and it would be the same with you ). Ask yourself this ; would you rather live a life full of worrying about whether or not you’re gay or accepting it as a possibility and learning to be okay with it and living a happy life in the process ? The latter is totally possible man. You got it , we’re all here for you ????

It’s simple really. HOCD is a subtype of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, and being gay is wanting and seeking out romantic or sexual relationships with the same sex exclusively.

Ok. I just can’t tell if I am gay, or I’ve just let the ocd take over. I have other forms of ocd, but this is one that I’ve been dealing with for the longest time.

I’m 25 and never ever thought this before my soocd relapse. I have a bf of 5 years. Never been a high libido kinda girl. Don’t get me wrong I do get turned on by my bf but not like every day you know? - That had always been in the back of my head, is this normal and ok? But my ocd has latched onto the most scariest what if EVER. My brain is now saying How do you know you won’t prefer to sleep and kiss girls if you haven’t tried it: and it’s that unknown that is scaring the shit out of me. I DONT AND NEVER HAVE wanted to sleep / kiss a girl. But now my intrusive thoughts is all I think about!!! I don’t want I don’t want I don’t want??? So why does my brain think BUT WHAT IF??? I know ocd thrives off uncertainty which is why I think this is happening? But I don’t wanna find out or work it out because all I want is to be with my bf and marry him!! Is this just the epitome of OCD?

Sorry long post. Anyone feel like now they’re just in extreme denial. Like when I was little I noticed guys more than girls in movies and was more drawn to them. I remember changing my mindset to switch that. 98%of my life has been straight until recently. I felt drawn to some guys but never thought of it sexually. Always had girl crushes dreams and porn. Now I watch porn and I feel like straight takes longer and then I go and watch gay porn and feel nothing until I tell myself it’s two attractive dudes and love is love and imagine physical sensations and then it hits like suddenly. Like I have to convince myself it’s alright. Then when I try again I can do all that but feel nothing and then straight porn works. Idk if it’s just getting a fix or the first time works with anything or what but it’s confusing. On top of that I’ve felt girl relationships including my wife maybe miss something and a guy maybe matches that feeling that but then I feel like I’d be missing something without a girl or my wife. Idk I’ve had some rough times in life with male figures in my life but idk. I feel like I have to convince myself more and more that I’m straight even more than the first time I dealt with this. Can someone relate? Please

Does anyone have any advice for how to know the difference between ocd and real feelings/thoughts? Sometimes an intrusive thought will come in and I immediately know it’s ridiculous and I can just leave it alone and it won’t bother me but other times I really really don’t know. It’s when ocd hijacks and twists my real feelings and thoughts and tries to manipulate me into believing they’re something they’re not or something that doesn’t align with my true morals or intentions. But since it’s twisting and mixing with real feelings I get so confused and scared. Everything gets jumbled and I feel like I can’t trust myself or my own mind. Yet other times and other topics I can laugh off and push away just fine. Make it make sense. And then I start to think well maybe I don’t have ocd at all and I’m just in denial because I don’t want to accept that these scary/concerning things are true about myself. Or maybe that’s just the ocd talking.
