i totally got over the fear of me being gay but now i have a fear that i’m bi. has anyone else had this? any advice???

yeah i suffer with Homosexual ocd and i’ve literally convinced myself i was bisexual and i was like “okay yes i’m bi that’s it no more ocd” but the thoughts wouldn’t stop and me being with a girl (i’m a straight girl btw) still seemed off and wrong for me. my hocd has calmed down a lot since i been suffering w it for months and the anxiety doesn’t affect me as much as before but i wish it would just go away. i say just keep letting the thoughts of you being bisexual come into ur head without doing compulsions

ramona thank you!! i’ve been dealing w hocd since about june and it’s been on and off for months. i finally got over the whole gay thing and now this pops up! i’m trying to just let the thoughts go but when i don’t have anxiety i get anxiety about not having anxiety ?it’s a constant cycle and it sucksssss

no problem!! and same! mine started in june , any tips how u got. over it

you*

eventually i was able to just accept the thoughts. (ik it’s easier said than done obviously) plus mine got really bad bc it was in between school starting back up and all my friends were away and i was all alone w my thoughts. once i got back to school i noticed that my anxiety about it went down severely, plus i also had new themes come in that seemed more important than my hocd. so it was kinda just phased out plus the longer i learned to deal w it it just went away if that makes sense

yes makes sense, thanks so much :-)

Hey friends... This is really hell... U can't imagine how badly it effects me... In every area of my life..... It's sucking.... Plz help me... Help me... I just wanna my heterosexual self as earlier... :(

I just hate girls after this horrible thing

horriblelyf hi!! i know this is kinda a stupid question but do you go to a therapist? i honestly thought i was crazy and couldn’t leave the house then i started seeing my therapist who i LOVE and she diagnosed me w OCD. from what you said that sounds exactly how i was back in june, literally couldn’t leave my house, all i could think about 24/7, and i was so confused bc i had never been attracted to a girl before like that. and i know it’s easier said than done but just accept the thoughts. it’s gonna suck at first but after a while your brain just gets so tired of it that you realize that you’re not gay. if you see a girl you think is pretty just say to yourself “hey she’s really pretty, maybe i’m gay” and move on w your day. don’t do anything more or less. just pretend like it was never there. not all thoughts have meaning even though our ocd likes to trick us into thinking they do!!!

Yaa... I know sis.... Sometyms I feel so tired... Than... I thought... Ok it's fine.... Then again anxiety starts.... Can't u imagine... I was the most romantic person ever n wanna spend my life with my dream partner....

I stopped worshiping god... After this for the last 6 months

It's hell... I'm tired... Frustrated.... Annoyed... And in deep anger...
