I'm sorry I've been struggling for a long time too and feel the same way. You aren't alone. Keep trying and treating the ocd. I know it's so hard, try to just focus on the present one step at a time. I know it's hard.

Read your username. You hate ocd! Ocd is NOT YOU! You have to trust me on this. Please. Ocd is not you at all. We have chemical imbalance in our brains. THIS ISNT YOUR FAULT. Trust me please ocd is a monster! It’s not who you are. The reason why you are suffering because you don’t like these thoughts. You are suffering because you care! But you don’t have to suffer. You have to accept these thoughts as just thoughts

This is called False Attraction. You can look it up. It’s linked to OCD. It’s your anxiety, not real genuine attraction

Yes, absolutely. It’s literally your ocd that’s making you think these things. And the reality is it’s not true at all!!! You are so fixated on it. Believe me it’s not real even if it feels real, it’s all false attraction and your ocd just messing with you. You don’t have to suffer, life is too short. I recommend you seek help as soon as you can, but just know the fact you don’t want to be gay goes to show you aren’t gay at all.

I’m not quite sure if medication is good, I’ve heard lots of mixed reviews about it. In my personal opinion the best type of way to help fix this problem is to find a therapist on this app. I promise you. You aren’t your thoughts. It feels real yes, that’s because OCD gives a FALSE attraction. So yes, people who suffer from ocd, it’s normal to feel this! But it’s all your head, not you as a person.

I want my life back
I feel so sad, alone, scared and hopeless. Until two months ago there was not even the remote possibility of being anything other than heterosexual and now the idea that I could find out that I was lesbian or bisexual terrifies me to death. Everything was born from the fact that I didn't feel sexual desire towards my ex-boyfriend and I started to be afraid that it was because I was a lesbian... how can I be a lesbian or bisexual if everything was born from this? I would like to run away from myself and my head. I would really like to go back and go back to my life before. I can't take it anymore. I just want to live my life like before

i think im done for good
as the title says. i am trying, i really am but i cant help but think that i have been gay this whole time. it feels like i can never be happy again unless i come out. i cant do it anymore. everyday is hard. there are not easy days. i just want to love my partner and i cant. i look at him and i get this wave of anxiety and guilt. why can i just be me again? i miss the days there this was just a past thing. i feel alone and i feel stuck like this forever. my heart hurts all the time. i am trying to sit with uncertainty but i cant because it feels certain and that i know i am gay but i dont want to be. its really really sad. i hate my life and i need it to end. bye.
