SO OCD HELP
For those with SO OCD, is it possible for OCD to manifest a crush on someone of the opposite sex? I feel like I have a crush on this girl when I’ve always identified as straight. Weirdly the crush intrusive thoughts happened after I started questioning my sexuality. I just looked at her one day and thought she was cute and then suddenly I felt like my mind took over like a domino effect. Like, I had all these thoughts about her that I aligned to having a crush. Every time I’m around her or think of her I get extreme anxiety. Also, I feel like when I’m around her I have these feelings of romance/attraction for her? I’ll have intrusive thoughts about anything romantic and sometimes sexual. Mostly, what gets me is feeling like I’d want to kiss her and I get these feelings of attraction which really throws me off. I know I’d never do that or really would see myself doing that, but I hate that the “romantic” feeling is there. I never get any groinal feelings though. I don’t want to have these feelings. I’ve never seen myself as being Bi. I’m Demisexual mainly, but have always identified as straight. It’s only until I started having all these SO OCD thoughts that I’ve started to question me sexuality. I’ve always been romantically and sexually attracted to men. I’m even dating a guy now who I really love. Can anyone relate to this? How do you get through your days? I feel so weird and confused. Mostly, guilty though because I love my BF and now I feel like I’m being unfaithful or I’m not being myself in some way. I really don’t know who I am anymore.
