Think of it this way...... you can be anything you want to be... you could choose to be gay if you wanted to... but in this moment you do not want to be gay... this is evident due to your reactions to your thoughts..... if you wanted to be gay in this moment you would not be getting distressed by your thoughts... your thoughts are contradicting your current core values and beliefs. Try to realise that your thoughts are not you... no matter how weird they get.... best of luck, sending love your way

@JS0406 Okay so I was just thinking and talking to someone about a guy choosing a girl over me and I was like “ya she’s so pretty. I don’t doubt he chose her over me I would to!” And like I freaked out and am now scared I’m a lesbian again or that means I’d date her. Cause I wasn’t even thinking about my hocd when I said that and it triggered it. Does that sound like something a straight girl can say? Or only like someone who likes girls?

@annehatesocd No you can find girls pretty and not be gay your just appreciating someone’s looks, that’s the thing I struggle with finding someone attractive vs real attraction

@JS0406 No but the part I said “I would to” (like I’d chose her over me) is what freaked me out. Is that normal? Or does that seem normal? Like if you were talking about a girl who chose a guy over you and you thought he was better looking than you. Would you be like “I don’t blame her I would too”

I don’t know what to do anymore, this started nearly a year ago and caused so much stress and panic attacks over the thought of loosing my boyfriend. Now it just feels real and that he always liked girls and suppressed it (but like the boys i always liked in the past were real feelings they had to be and with my boyfriend i love him) but i haven’t got much anxiety now feels like i want the thoughts and that they don’t bother me even tho they used to, this seems to happen every time i get a lil better, idk just feels so true and that’s what i acc want with no stress, just a lil scared.

I feel like I'm lying to myself, like I just don't accept that I'm gay, I don't want to be gay, I don't want to feel any kind of attraction anymore, I want to go to a psychologist to find out if I really have hocd or if it's just an excuse, because it feels like I really am gay, but nothing was authentic, it all started with thoughts that made me panic extremely hard and I felt like crying and I had delusions, I don't understand why this is happening to me, I didn't like any boys before the thoughts appeared, but exactly one day after they appeared, all the boys were attractive, of all ages, I want to recover :( I'm only 17 years old, for about 2 months I've been having thoughts, I don't know what to do, I can't go to a psychologist, I need help :(

I really need help understanding what I’m going through. For a long time now, I’ve been struggling with thoughts and feelings about women that confuse and scare me. Sometimes I feel this strange emotional or mental ‘pull’ toward certain women — it’s not exactly sexual, and not clearly romantic either, but it feels like something, and it triggers deep anxiety. When I see a beautiful woman or a WLW (woman-loving-woman) couple, I feel something that I can’t explain — sometimes I think it’s just admiration or aesthetic appreciation, but OCD keeps telling me: “You felt something, so you must be gay,” or “You’re hiding something.” I get stuck in endless loops, trying to analyze these moments and label them. Even when I feel physical or emotional reactions, they don’t feel natural or aligned with who I am. They feel like a reaction to the idea of women, not real attraction. I try to be honest with myself — I even told a friend I might be bisexual at some point, just to test if that felt more comfortable. But it didn’t. It made things worse, and I felt like I lost touch with who I am. I don’t want to lie to myself or live in denial, but I’m exhausted. It feels like I’m being mentally forced to feel something that isn’t mine. I’m 14, and I understand that things might still be developing, but I can’t help feeling like I’ve always been drawn to men, and never naturally wanted women that way. Still, I keep doubting everything. Is this real attraction or OCD feeding false feelings and thoughts? Can OCD create emotional or mental sensations that feel like desire? I’m so scared that I’ll lose myself, or find out something I never wanted. I just want peace and to feel like myself again.
