I feel like when I just accept my thoughts by agreeing with them it definitely feels like I am making them true. It doesn’t come with any anxiety anymore though but it’s still hard because I really want to fight back and I don’t wanna like girls (I am a girl). Sometimes I can look at normal social media stuff without thinking anything and then I realize that I have been looking at girls without reacting and then I start overthinking that and so then it changes my whole perspective till I forget about it again and then the whole cycle starts over. Like I just want to think normal like I did before without even being worried about this stuff. It’s like every time I say “yea that’s true cool” I’m actually believing it and then I’ll think that I’m actually going to like girls in the future and I don’t want that I want to marry a boy. So every time i see old couples I say “well that’s not gonna be you”. What do I do with this? It’s taking the excitement out of couples when I used to love watching old couples and imagining myself like that one day with my bf

Sounds like when you try to do ERP by not arguing the thoughts, you are doing other compulsions instead, like rumination, checking what your feelings mean and analysis. To treat your OCD, you need to refuse to do any of those things, anything at all in your head even remotely related to the topic other than saying "yep, maybe I'm gay" and letting yourself feel the anxiety. All your attaching of meanings to the feelings instead of accepting them as just feelings, and the attempts to work it out to escape or defeat those feeling-meanings, are keeping your OCD going.

Hi :) I have the same experience except the opposite (I like girls and I’m scared I’ll like boys). I agree with Louw: they feel real but accepting them doesn’t make them real; it just means that you’re learning to tolerate the anxiety instead of fighting it, and in doing so you teach yourself that your thoughts don’t have to mean anything ❤️
