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

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

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!!!

Sorry long post. Anyone feel like now they’re just in extreme denial. Like when I was little I noticed guys more than girls in movies and was more drawn to them. I remember changing my mindset to switch that. 98%of my life has been straight until recently. I felt drawn to some guys but never thought of it sexually. Always had girl crushes dreams and porn. Now I watch porn and I feel like straight takes longer and then I go and watch gay porn and feel nothing until I tell myself it’s two attractive dudes and love is love and imagine physical sensations and then it hits like suddenly. Like I have to convince myself it’s alright. Then when I try again I can do all that but feel nothing and then straight porn works. Idk if it’s just getting a fix or the first time works with anything or what but it’s confusing. On top of that I’ve felt girl relationships including my wife maybe miss something and a guy maybe matches that feeling that but then I feel like I’d be missing something without a girl or my wife. Idk I’ve had some rough times in life with male figures in my life but idk. I feel like I have to convince myself more and more that I’m straight even more than the first time I dealt with this. Can someone relate? Please

So I identify as a lesbian and I am in a committed relationship with a wonderful girl. But i’m stressing that I have crushes on boys I go to school with. I get anxious around them, which I think I mistake for excitement. I obsess over it in my head which confuses me a lot. Idk I also never think about them sexually or romantically but I think about them often which is scaring me. Any advice?

I need too know that I'm not insane, really. I am 16 and for the past two weeks, this has been completely ruining my health and happiness. I only recently came out as a lesbian like 3 months ago after a lot of confusion about my attraction since I used to think I liked men. At first, I felt so sure that I liked women, but lately, I've been having these unwanted thoughts about the possibility of liking men. I never used to feel this way, but now, every time I look at a man, my brain obsessively fixates on it. It forces me to imagine kissing him, loving him, things I don’t want, and then tries to convince me that I do. It’s painful. The thought of this fills me with fear and anxiety, leading to panic attacks and breakdowns. I don’t want these thoughts. I hate them with every fiber of my being, but I’m terrified that one day I’ll act on them and somehow like it. I used to think I liked men, but back then, I was in a very unhealthy space in a time of escapism and something deeply parasocial. I’ve only ever liked the attention and validation a man could give me, but these experiences are somehow treated as further proof that I’m "bisexual." I’ve never been in a real relationship with anyone, which makes my brain constantly challenge me—telling me, “You don’t even know what love feels like.” It won’t shut up. It keeps obsessively trying to make me prove that I’m a lesbian, testing my reactions and questioning my certainty. Is this normal?
