Same boat. It feels so real. It is terrifying. I don’t want this. I just want to go back to be able to enjoy my time with my girlfriend. Just did some ERP and though I did my best not to engage in compulsions, it felt so real the whole time.

Yeah man. Feels so real. Just did some ERP looking at some of the tik tok personalities. Crazy false attraction, or maybe real attraction. Made me cry to be honest. Just have to move forward no matter what. Trying not to give into the compulsions at the moment. How about you?

See and I am disgusted by the thought of a girls thing. Like I have no desire to do that and don’t want too and it scares me too even think about doing that. But you’re the opposite of me and it just sucks

Analyzing is definitely one. It is tough because it is almost automatic. Like, if it feels like you are attracted to a good looking guy, just sit with the anxiety, face it. Don’t look away. At the same time, don’t try to determine how you are actually feeling. When I am doing ERP my head is making me feel like I am attracted and as such, that I need to imagine myself in different scenarios or evaluate why I am feeling that way. No need for that answer. Just sit there and let the feelings come through.

From my understanding, eventually you aclimate to the uncertainty and the feeling and go on with your life, especially if you didn’t feel like this before. We had a similar progression though. I got it about 6 years ago and had it mostly under control with a little anxiety from time to time, but it hit hard again. Makes it difficult to remember what it was like before.

I feel sick to my stomach, a few days ago I knew I was straight and could picture my life with my bf again. The anxiety has really lessend and Im more depressed now. I'm 100% convinced I am lesbian even tho I have never had sexual attraction to women, found them pretty but never wanted to be with them. My mind is only picturing me being with women now and it feels like a pit in my stomach. I don't feel emotion now, I'm also on my period. I don't want to be lesbian. I want to be with my boyfriend and have the life I pictured with him. My memory is so dissorted right now. I don't think there's anything wrong with being lesbian, it's just not for me and now that makes me feel like I'm homophobic.

I was doing very well with all my thoughts but then they started to get really bad this week. I am very sure I am straight and only want to be with a man but I have such good relationships with my girl friends and my mind plays tricks on me and likes to make me think it’s more than just a friendship. And this voice in my head tells me it’s not disgusting when in reality I would never do anything physical with them at all.But they get so intense I start to believe it. I just am not sure how to get out of this cycle. Every time I get better I think about getting in a relationship with a man and i freak out (what if i don’t like it? does that mean ill have to be gay) and all these thoughts blow up in my face and so can’t take it anymore. My bestie is coming to visit me and the thoughts get so intense when she is around and i really want to be in a good head space to spend time with her because i know deep down she’s my best friend and nothing more. Any suggestion to help?

I am a 18 year old masc lesbian with a loving girlfriend for 1 year, and I have been lesbian for almost my whole life and I have never been attracted to men in any way. flash to my past, My ex girlfriend who used to identify as a lesbian had cheated on me with a man. Recently I saw this tiktok of this masc lesbian turn straight and my friends and girlfriend made jokes I am going to turn straight for my male best friend. My male best friend came over and he’s a great guy but I do not want him in any way. when him and i were hanging out my mind threw in a thought it was “What if i like him”, i came back home and i had the worst panic attack and i felt so sick, i cried and i cried. ever since that day I have been struggling with intrusive thoughts, i don’t want a man in any way, and i feel comfortable as a lesbian but these thoughts won’t stop and they become worse when i see people say being lesbian is a phase or that i haven’t met the right guy or i’ll change in the future. i just want these thoughts to stop, i don’t want to stop being a lesbian ever, i love women so much and i just want all of this to be over with. i do not want a man in any way and im tired of my thoughts doubting myself and i hate the “what ifs”, I just want to be my old self, I want to be happy with my girlfriend.
