Just a question sorry if it is too personal but are you actually bi? Or did you just say that cause of your ocd?

I honestly don't know either ? I'd like to say I'm straight but these thoughts are screwing me over so I'm just unknown right now. The more I think about labels, the more anxious I am and the more I need to find certainty

I said it because of my OCD. I wasn't really attracted to girls but I couldn't understand why I was having the thoughts I was having. Now my OCD is at a point where it's really really out of hand and it feels like I am attracted to girls. I don't know anymore. Honestly I don't know what I am.

I can relate to you 100% I keep on just saying to myself you are bi you are bi because I can't handle the doubt and the things I've done in my past. I feel guilty and feel like if I just admit it it will be better. But even when I say im bi I will have these tiny moments of clarity where I know im not attracted to girls and then ocd is like ha you thought! Then makes me feel like I want it. I just wish it could be over with :(

Yeah when I identified as bi, I started comparing which sex I'm more 'attracted' too. And it doesn't help that there's so many ugly ass dudes in my city ? so obv the pretty girls outweigh the ugly dudes. So I just trashed the concept of being a bisexual because it made me worse. So as I'm going to therapy right now, I'm not going to think about the labels at all because it's a dangerous slope to go down??

He doesn't. I'm afraid to tell him because I don't think he'll believe me. In the past I came out as bisexual to my friends because I was trying to rationalize my ocd (I didn't know it was hocd yet). My friends, my boyfriend and I were hanging out and my friend told my boyfriend (who I had only been dating for a few months at that point) that I was bisexual without first asking my permission. It wasn't something I was trying to keep from him, it just hadn't come up, because the theme was kind of on the back burner. He asked me if it was true and I said eh, I don't know. I didn't want him to think that I was trying to get attention by saying I was bisexual, so I ended up telling him that it was true. I also was scared that it might come true, so I thought I better tell him now just in case. It's been a long ass time since then, and I haven't spoken to him about it since. He still thinks I'm bi. I don't know what to do. I really dug myself deep with this one. He'll probably just think I'm actually a lesbian if I tell him, and what if I am? I don't know anymore. I don't want be, but I'm terrified that it's true.

@hateocd123 I think it would be good to talk to him about this but first tell him what OCD is and then ease into your theme of it

I watched the trailer for the movie “Am I Ok?” and got completely triggered. Basically a 32 yo woman discovers she’s a lesbian seemingly out of nowhere. I was triggers and did some research (bad idea) and apparently some people who are gay have never had romantic or sexual interest in people of the same sex until one spontaneous moment of discovery. Now I’m worried that this could be me!! I’ve never had a long term relationship, have had crushes and fantasies but back out when things get too close for me. I do prefer my little fantasy world guy but now I’m wondering if maybe I missed something and am in denial, even if I didn’t know it.

I keep seeing tiktoks of things that are like ‘things I did as a lesbian in denial’ or ‘things my not so straight straight friend said’ and I feel like I might relate to some!! But idk!! It’s kinda triggering me. I’ve had this 5 years on and off now so when it comes back the whole well you’ve had it so long you must be gay comes up. I have been with my boyfriend almost 6 years and i love him so much I don’t want to be gay (nothing weong with it - I’m just not and don’t want to be!)

i had recently been triggered to have so-ocd. its been on my mind non-stop. (i am a heterosexual female) and my mind has been all over the place questioning if i have been in denial the entire time. ive always had people tell me they sort of got that vibe it it never really affected me until my own mother had her suspicions. so i would constantly get triggered un public around the same gender, while knowing my true sexuality. ive always been attracted to men but as of recently ive been having super bad anxiety to where i cannot eat or sleep and feel weak all the time. it was like that for a week or so. now im in the calm where i have been trying accept the uncertainty but it still isnt fair as im getting triggered. im a little worried because it feels like i have been lying to my parents the entire time although ive never had the desire to be with the same gender. and i keep getting intrusive thoguhts that make me feel anxious and uncomfortable. its all starting to affect my friendships as im constantly getting triggered with the intrusive thoguhts. i feel a little less anxious compared to how i was a couple days ago. im really scared on why im having these thoughts now when i have been having romantic feelings for a guy the past year or so. ive also been struggling with false attraction and loss attraction to men. it makes me feel uncertain of my life the entire time
