I don’t understand
I was so confident that I was straight 3 weeks ago and now all of a sudden it feels like I have become a lesbian! That doesn’t make any sense 😭

Look I totally understand, I was fine about 30 minutes ago and I read one word and it triggerd me into intrusive thoughts about being gay. Ik I'm not gay I have a girlfriend, and honestly I don't have feelings for men. But now my mind is obsessing over it and I feel so uncomfortable with these thoughts.
Big buzz word I saw there was “ feel”. Feelings aren’t facts. Also, if you think girls are pretty or attractive it’s cuz they are lol. It’s practically by design so we can attract mates for breeding. I’m straight and I think girls are pretty, even sexy. But my sexual preference is to men. Ocd is just sending you a fire alarm with no fire. Just say “ hmmm, me as a lesbian? Interesting ( or not interesting idea) “ and just carry on with your day. Just because you think or feel something doesn’t make it true.
@TexasOCD41 But I’m not having any anxiety or distress!!
@Beachgirl2024 Oh, the crying emoji threw me off lol then just enjoy it then. You’re basically just experiencing normal thoughts like everyone else and no emotional distress is fantastic! Sounds like what every therapy you are doing is working.
I feel you😔 i feel like im confident for few days that im straight and then i start to spiral again and again and i feel so convinced that im gay. Always the same scenario. Always
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.
hi everyone just wanted to share what i’ve been going through lately. i’m a 24f and im a masc lesbian. i’ve been lesbian for as long as i can remember. i’ve had crushes on girls since i was very young, my first kiss was even with a girl in pre school. growing up i was told it was wrong and didn’t even know what the lgbt community was or anything like that and as an adolescent i wanted to fit in with all the other girls and have a boyfriend or like a boy but it felt forced and unnatural. middle school was when i really discovered my sexuality. i had a crush on a girl and it felt so real and different. from then on i knew i was lesbian. since then ive been very comfortable in my sexuality and i should mention that i can admit when a man is attractive and have always been secure in that there was no other meaning behind it, that’s how secure i was. as of late ive had small triggers that made me question if i secretly liked men but id shut it down quick. i often get gender envy and if i were to find a man attractive it’d be because i wish i could look like them but then the fixation started where my brain started asking if this meant i liked them and it completely derailed me. ive also seen so many tiktoks of lesbians who are suddenly straight which added to my fear. it got really bad this last month where i started going on chat gpt for reassurance. my mind started imaging scenarios with men and asking if i was aroused or if i would enjoy doing things with men. it got so bad i would dread going to the gym. these last couple days have been okay ive been letting the thoughts pass but now that ive been more passive my brain tells me that it must be true that i actually like men because now my brain doesn’t feel anxious. i’m ts a continuous loop does anyone have any advice ?
SO-OCD is so confusing because deep down I know that I’m heterosexual, I was always attracted to men, wanted to be with men and had crushes on men. I know I’m not sexually or romantically attracted to women. The logical part of my mind knows that. But false attraction makes it so stressing because if that’s the truth than why am I feeling the exact opposite now? Does anyone else have a similar experience?
