It was little events led up to another in about a month. I came across a pretty girl on ig and in the pic she was with a girl and went to her page and saw she was a lesbian which I have looked at lesbian ig pages before out of curiosity ig but never felt anything. Anyways, I came across a post about her coming out and she said she broke up with he bf of 5 years after she made out with a girl that was gay and it immidistely started my anxiety. Then a couple weeks after that, my coworkers bf made a comment about me and her being lesbian together and I laughed it off not worrying about anything. It made me uncomfortable because she was pretty but that’s it and then I had a friend stay over and the next morning she was sleeping and I was getting ready and the thought came in my mind if I could be okay with a girl sleeping in my bed and I was like “what a weird thought” and then the next day, I had a girl do laser hair removal on my lady parts and it made me so nervous and sweaty and anxious and that night was the night where the intrusive thought came in my brain out of now where like a tornado asking if I could be gay. Never ever before any of this did I ever think twice about my sexuality. I have been with guys my whole life. It has been awful. I’m so fucking confused and pissed off. And because it wasn’t one specific thing that happened but a couple little things after a little time period, it makes me think it’s not hocd. ???? but when it came out of no where it was just BAM and the week it came out of nowhere I ended up missing work and in the er because of how sick I was from puking and not eating or sleeping from worrying myself sick. And ever since it has been awful. And I’ve had my bf for a year and I’ve been dealing with this for only two months

@Ocdandme123 so the part where you said the girl broke up with her bf after making out with a girl is a trigger for me because i think that’s gonna happen to me. like my hocd makes me think that i’m gay or bi and i don’t know it. so i’ve thought before what if i kiss a girl like that’s the only way to find out but then i think no that’s weird for me and i get uncomfortable but then i’m like omg is that because i secretly want to kiss a girl and i get freaked out

@kaysf Well if it makes you feel better, I’ve made out with probably about 15+ girls while drinking before and never thought anything about this and never phased me and now I think if I ever do now, my life will change forever. It’s still a huge trigger to me ?.

@kaysf Me too. That’s one of my main thoughts. That a girl will randomly kiss me and I’ll actually like it and realize I’m into that. I’m right there woth you. It’s so hard for me thinking that’s how I’ll leave my bf. I understand. You’re not alone :( hang in there! ❤️

Mine started out of nowhere in college I was on ig and i couldn't get a erection while trying to masturbate to this girls page and the thought popped in what if your gay and then BAM like something clicked in my brain. At that time I was in a very sexual relationship with a girl and it was awesome until that. That was 6 years ago and i still have hocd

In high school i was kind of a prude when it came to going any further then hooking up with girls, never thought anything of it even tho I would always hook up with a lot of girls. Then I met my girlfriend who I eventually lost my virginity too it was awesome. I loved sex and had it all the time. I never thought anything of it... we dated for 2 years then I went to college she went to another college. We still dated but one of the first days in college I had my first panic attack in my dorm. I didn't know what it was.... after that I was nervous I'd get another one.. I was studying for my first final when i tried masturbating to a picture of a girl on Instagram... I couldn't get a boner then the thought popped into my head does this mean your gay? Literally my whole world flipped after that it felt like something in my brain flipped. After that the word gay gay gay rang in my head every second of everyday. I had to watch the way I spoke the way I walked what i dressed what music I listened watched on tv so people wouldn't think i was gay. I couldn't look men in the eyes my attraction for girls went away and my mind told me that I liked every man i passed. I would check men and women to test my attractions. I couldn't have normal conversations with men I thought my life was a lie. Meanwhile I still had a girlfriend. I would get images of penises in my head and graphic images of me doing sexual things to men and them doing things to me. I'd get the sensation that guys were kissing me etc. I would check my groin my looking at men in their but and groin area but i would always get sick to my stomach. I couldn't talk to gay people or be near then thinking i would want to eventually be gay. And it was hard having sex with my girlfriend because when i did i would get images of it being a man. Also I got the feelings that men were doing me in the but too along with the false erections... I went to a school therapist she couldn't help me then a sex specialist she couldn't help me...

My anxiety like this lasted for 3 straight years I could barely function barely eat barely sleep then I found that alcohol was the only time I felt "normal"

when i drank beer it made me feel normal so that became a compulsion which eventually led to an addiction which is another story. I was put on Prozac, lexapro, abilify and welbutrin, luvox and now I'm on Prozac anafranil and an antipsychotic which i think is helping me. I went to an ocd specialist and was finally diagnosed with OCD and mdd

but i went to therapists who asked me if i was molested as a kid or that I should experiment with men and some that said they couldn't help me. Some I think got offended that I was so against beinng gay but in reality I have nothing against gay people

But i had sex with a lot of girls after me an my girlfriend broke up with me always being drunk so the "thoughts " wouldn't come. Then I found a girl who i made my girlfriend and i tried telling her about my hocd it was just hard she didn't get it but accepted it. That ended now I'm single wishing for a girlfriend to date. I want to have kids and stuff but I'm afraid no one will ever accept me with hocd or that my kids could have ocd which is my worst fear

I feel all of that but opposite gender! It truly is awful and I wish for you to get through it! I want a family and husband and kids too and that’s what’s pushing me through. I’m sorry you’ve dealt with it so long. I can’t even imagine and I’ve only had it for 2 months and it’s been the worst two months of my life. Idk of it would be easier if I was single or not. Idk. Sometimes I think it would then sometimes I think it would be harder. My bf is so great to me through all of this. I hate putting it on him. I wish this never happened to me. Or you. Or any of us. I was so confident and never questioned my sexuality before this. I feel like I only notice girls now and it ducks. It’s awful. I hope we push through and live happy lives woth what we want!

I’m begging ANYONE help I can’t take it anymore!!
I feel awful that I keep coming on here whenever I’m down bad but oh my gosh OCD is the most painful shit that I have EVER experienced in my life and I have a physical chronic illness…. I hate to say it but I hate living right now it’s too painful… im crying as I type to the point where my stomach is hurting, I have pretty severe ocd I do have generalized anxiety and idk if that is connected with ocd but because of that I have most of the subtypes REAL EVENT OCD,POCD,ZOCD,ROCD,SOCD HARM OCD, you name it and I got it!!! a lot of also why I have have those theme is trauma growing up and involving those things^ as of right now i’m 25 and a women with the most loving boyfriend in the entire world before my ocd hit me I NEVER questioned my love and care and attraction with the love of my life I always knew I was going to marry and be with this person the rest of my life! Now with ocd it confuses me soooo much and now I think I’m gay and didn’t realize or indenial and listen I get it “don’t look for reassurance!” “It’s not the thing ocd is attacking that is the problem ocd is the actual problem!” Here’s the thing with that if I’m in a relationship and I’m gay that would mean I would have to leave that said relationship and to say that “oh yeah that stuff happens and you’ll move on” is absolutely devastating to me this is THE LOVE OF MY LIFE and your telling me that iv been lying to myself this whole time or that I didn’t realize?!?!? And that sexuality can change (even though some say it can’t google says otherwise and some people have said it can’t idek anymore) and all this other BULLSHIT I can’t take it WHY?!?! why does this have to happen why can’t I just be with my love the rest of my life?!? and yes before anyone says anything I have been attracted to girls more so when I was younger watching lesbian porn liking the body’s and fantazing them sexually it stopped when I got older but I still don’t get disgusted with women who are pretty it just makes me uncomfortable because I’m with the love of my life and before I remember talking to my partner and discussing certain childhood things I experienced and we discussed that we both could be a little bi and for certain I’m (demi sexual so I don’t even really care about looks) and I truly didn’t care!! NOW I do care even with being bi because again I don’t like thinking about anyone else but my partner but I do also know my parents are homophobic and I do think about if I am gay they wouldn’t be okay with that and I also dont want to deal with that so now I sound like in indenial right?!???? I didn’t even care about labels before my ocd it just didn’t matter but now it’s effected my sex life and it’s hard for me to enjoy sex with being so confused I’m so confused I googled everything can you still have sexual fantasies with same gender but still be straight? Can you fantasize about same gender or imagine marrying them all of it !!! And non of that disgusts me it just makes me uncomfortable AGIAN only bc I just love the partner I’m with right now!!! I’m so fucking confused do I have to leave my partner and accept that I’m gay is that going to happen in the future if I get better with ocd and find out it’s been true all along?!???

Is this a symptom of soocd
I’m 25 and never ever thought this before my soocd relapse. I have a bf of 5 years. Never been a high libido kinda girl. Don’t get me wrong I do get turned on by my bf but not like every day you know? - That had always been in the back of my head, is this normal and ok? But my ocd has latched onto the most scariest what if EVER. My brain is now saying How do you know you won’t prefer to sleep and kiss girls if you haven’t tried it: and it’s that unknown that is scaring the shit out of me. I DONT AND NEVER HAVE wanted to sleep / kiss a girl. But now my intrusive thoughts is all I think about!!! I don’t want I don’t want I don’t want??? So why does my brain think BUT WHAT IF??? I know ocd thrives off uncertainty which is why I think this is happening? But I don’t wanna find out or work it out because all I want is to be with my bf and marry him!! Is this just the epitome of OCD?

feeling helpless
As a lesbian with SO-OCD, I feel so helpless. It's truly exhausting because no one I know understands what I'm going through. The first response is always, "You're just confused" or "You don't have to know yet." But that's not the issue, I do know. I just never see any lesbians with SO-OCD so I feel so invalidated. These thoughts flood my brain constantly, forcing me to analyze my reactions to every man I see. I feel trapped in an endless cycle of "testing" myself, trying to prove that I don't like them. But my brain fights back, telling me I do want to love a man, making it feel real even though don't want it. It's terrifying. At this point, it's hard to even hold onto my identity as a lesbian because I'm so overwhelmed. I don't know if this is what real attraction is supposed to feel like, and that fear eats away at me. The truth is, when I think about being with a man, all I feel is disgust and fear-but my brain twists that into doubt. I hate it. I'm at the point where I'm scared I'm going to have to accept something I don't want because I don't know if this will ever go away. I miss who I was before all this.
