@Dre249 Well yeah, think about it!! Gay people don’t feel anxious about being gay and bisexual people don’t feel anxious about being bisexual because they just accept that’s what they are You only feel anxious because ocd is making you go “what if I never knew who I really was all this time?” It’s not really about sexuality

@Dre249 You ain’t no bro it’s just OCD if you were born str8 then you will stay str8 you can’t just randomly turn gay it doesn’t work like that so it’s just your OCD think of your thoughts as it’s just OCD and it will go away eventually and don’t let your thoughts bother you

@Dre249 Do you have sex and or relationships with both men and women?

I think "arguing a lot' and "I'm worried I'm gay" are really two separate concerns. Whether you argue with a partner doesn't impact whether you're attracted to their gender

@Dre249 Do you want to have sex or relationships with men? If you do then yeah you’re probably bisexual but judging everything you have said you’re very clearly straight and suffering from ocd

@uwotm8 No no I don’t want that at all I just want a wife and kids one day but my desire is like gone and my “HOCD” is saying you like men stop lying

@Dre249 There you! Bingo!! You know you’re straight. Ocd will do ANYTHING to convince you it’s everything BUT ocd Don’t waste time trying to “work out” something you already know deep down. It’s definitely without a doubt ocd messing with you. You need to work out how to handle ocd, nothing else They always say it’s not about the content and that’s completely true. We all suffer the same but our themes are different. It’s all ocd though that’s what you need to focus on

Distressed in what way?
- Date posted

I been with my boyfriend for five years, and things just feel wrong now. Not like, "we argue a lot and now I'm worried I'm gay" I've been bisexual for most of my life and before that I was born into being a Mormon. They teach kids to deny being gay. Once I realized that I like girls, I realised i like them a lot more than boys, but I still caught feelings and love for a boy after that, and I'm worried it's because the mormons taught me to like boys and I've just been rolling with it for this long because its all I have

I’m not really sure how the sexuality theme fits into this so I am certain it’s ocd fucking with you

@uwotm8 I didn't want to get too into the sexual part, but like, I just don't want him to touch me anymore. I don't like sex anymore, I don't like cuddling, I don't want his affection, but I love him so much I don't think I could leave. What if I just did it all because I thought I was supposed to and I just love him as a friend/family. We've both talked about the possibility that were just meant to be friends, but he doesn't know that I feel that way because I think im not into him in that way, and I don't know why he feels that way so that just sets off a whole new obsession circle

I wanted to voice that homosexuals can get HOCD too. I remember when i was younger and knew i was gay i still got HOCD one time when watching The Office. I thought Pam was so pretty and then started doubting my whole identity because what if i am straight? Oh god, what a terror if i was heterosexual. But anyway, thought that maybe this would help heteros with HOCD by knowing that this is a universal symptom across OCD sufferers of all sexual orientations. A big problem is calling this subtype “Homosexual OCD,” because its not. It has nothing to do with being homo or hetero or bi or anything. Its just OCD being a bully. I think labelling subtypes is an issue altogether, as it can unconsciously make people feel like its not just OCD. But it is. Does this make any sense? What are yall’s thoughts on this? Or is this just my OCD talking? (Im not seeking reassurance just genuinely find this interesting) TLDR; each time we “qualify” OCD with a subtype, we reinforce that the subtype is part of the issue. In reality, OCD is just a broken loop in our brains, and thoughts are just thoughts. And Pam Beesly is a hottie.
