Some people might have that experience, but for anyone with OCD, “finding your true self” is practically impossible because intrusive thoughts warp our perception of self whenever we try. That experience was OCD, plain and simple. But next time that happens, don’t waste your energy doing mental compulsions to try to “figure out” what those thoughts mean or why you’re having them. Simply say to yourself, “maybe that means I want to be with a guy, but maybe it’s just OCD, or maybe it’s something else entirely.” And let that uncertainty be your answer. Go no further to figure it out.

Like I used to drink alcohol on parties (not much but still) and now I cant even try a drop of alcohol cause I think that will expose “my true self”

Yeah I can understand why that would be upsetting. I was worried because I had my first intrusive thought about HOCD when I was high but then I realized weed had been making me depressed and anxious for awhile about other themes as well. In my case, drugs just make my OCD and anxiety worse, I’ve even felt suicidal, which I know these are not my true thoughts

I had a similar experience on lsd... which is horrible because sometimes people say u find yourself ect on that. But i had a thought that i was gay and it fucking scared me so bad that i changed the subject and tried not to think about it.... and when i was holding it in not trying to think about it... here i am a year later with the same feelings.... of just thinking about it all the time.... was i just high or was that the truth or was it just a simple thought that im afraid of

This is the exact reason I was always terrified to get my wisdom teeth out and why I never drink alcohol

It’s crazy because I’ve been afraid to take out my wisdom teeth since I first got the intrusive thought as well.

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 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
