so you have HOCD? If you are constantly having repetitive thoughts fearing about being gay or if you are always aware of your actions and how you feel around certain people etc it could most likely be hocd, it could also be denial, which is the confusing thing about it all because OCD can twist you around and make you believe or feel things that don't reflect the real person you are and it sounds really tough. It's hard to figure out everything when you feel this way. I wish I could help you but there is really nothing I can do except be here for you, if you ever want anyone to listen to how you feel, you can always talk to me! . Life seems pointless at times, and trust me I've felt the same thing but I really hope you stay. You can't force a positive mindset but you can always try and do things that make you happy each day, you might not have the motivation but surround yourself with people who give off positive energy and people who lift you up, music really helps me and it seems so tough to get your mind off things when your mind is constantly racing with thoughts but try your best. I'm not telling you to ignore the situation or to stop thinking about it cause i know how annoying it is when people say things like that but I really hope the best for you. The only thing that you can do right now to move a step closer to feeling better is to seek help from a psychiatrist or someone specialised in hocd therapy if that is what you think you have because they can help you feel better. I'm so proud of how far you've come, stay strong <3
what's up?
This is making me think im gay im so confused. Im cant live like this
Hey - you need to try and refocus on other activities. Accept the thoughts and carry on doing normal activities. And seek therapy!
I cant im so depressed
its making me think i kind of like the thoughts and want to be with a man. I woke up thinking about a man im so confused. Im scared im going to lose my family ๐
Thankyou. Im just terrified its denial. I never had 1 gay thought until i was 22 all of a suddenly after a night out with freinds it was like bang! Your gay. Ive been on flouxetine for 16 years only 20mg after a rough summer all them years ago. I was copeing well still having thoughts but was able to brush them off and lead a fairly normal and happy life. And Ive always loved women probably more than i ever could. Im 37 now and i stoped my medication for 3 months recently and my whole world has been turned upside down I cant function properly and im depressed. Ive started back on the medication for about 2 and a half months now and i dont feel any better yet im up to 60mg now so scared this is it for me. This is with me all day in everything i do and say i feel like giving up
What about trying a new medication? This isn't it for you brother
Flouxetine is 1 of the best tho ive heard. Is it normal for your attraction to women to fall off the planet. I hate this
I understand i hate my ocd too. If your 37 and have loved women your whole life i don't believe all of a sudden u would lose attraction. Ocd isn't logical and what your going through doesn't seem logical

Anyone ?
Youโre looking for reassurance but we canโt give you that. Go back to your doctor - discuss medication and therapy. Read a self help book and try and put into practice some of the guidance. I KNOW how hard it is but you have to try and refocus and do something else.
Ive gone up to 60mg of my flouxetine hope this helps
Really struggle to understand why this happened to me in the middle of such a good relationship.
Im super scared that i wont recover it's killing me rn
