PLS READ - HOCD/SOCD or Denial?
Hi, I’m 16, and in a relationship with a girl, who I love so much and wanted to be with her for several months. But as of recently, I have been experiencing intrusive thoughts about being gay.I know that I’m not, I’ve always been attracted to girls and never have I even thought about being gay. But these intrusive thoughts are telling me I’m lying to myself and that I am denial and are actually gay. I’m at the point now where I don’t even know if this is HOCD. I’ve always seemed OCD since I was young as I would be fixated on certain things like how clothes looked, I also used to wash my hands until they cracked. In recent months I was fixated on moles and the fear of skin cancer due to my mum having stage 4 cancer herself. But as this has gone, these intrusive thoughts about sexuality have came about. Can someone please help me
