You can’t just say that if she has been into men for a long time then all of a sudden she isn’t because of these thoughts the she isn’t, I’m not trying to be rude but that could’ve really triggered her. You can’t just be entitled to her sexuality like that it’s not fair on her

That's fair, I should've worded that better and I sincerely apologize, especially upon seeing your comment above- I'm sorry! I didn't mean to trigger anyone;;

And I’m saying this aswell because I struggle with it badly and that has really triggered me, it’s like saying that this isn’t a real thing

Ah I really apologize for triggering you;; I didn't mean to suggest that in general it isn't a thing! It's perfectly valid to have OCD over such a thing! I just feel like her case is a bit different

Yeah I’m not sure about saying I’m lgbt. My first ocd diagnosis was sexual orientation ocd. I always identified as straight and then started to get ocd obsessions about being lesbian. It’s gotten to the point where I can’t tell the difference between reality and ocd. So it could very well be ocd. I’m not sure and by the likes it seems that a lot of people feel the same confusion. I will have to figure it out eventually. I could not be interested in men because of my depression my libido is low. Who knows. Mental health issues are very confusing. They make things so complicated.

Feeling the same thing but the opposite now freedomproject. If it is any consolation, this intense confusion is very common with soocd sufferers. I know I am certainly confused. We could be gay (or the unpreferred orientation whatever that is). I know that is a little bit of a trigger, but accepting that uncertainty is the only way forward. I also feel like I have completely lost my attraction for women (even though I know that isn’t true for reasons I will not mention here for civility’s sake) and it feels like I am attracted to men sometimes even though it is very distressing to think about it and does not sit right at all. Try to stop analyzing so much. It only makes it worse.

I’m just going to add- the fact that you’re trying to “figure it out” sounds OCD to me. You’re “checking” how you feel, asking questions, etc. If you’ve dealt with that theme before, it isn’t uncommon for it to return. Maybe you’re a lesbian maybe you aren’t. Hell maybe you want to marry a lizard. You don’t have to figure it out.

Hello, OCD lesbian here! To be perfectly honest, I didn't even know orientation ocd was a thing until I joined this app today and saw the category, and it freaked me out for a minute because I was like 'oh god, is my lesbianism just my OCD??' No. No, it is not, lmao. I don't like men, and my OCD gives me weird feelings about that sometimes, but my OCD is not the cause of my attraction to women. You say you're not into men, and haven't been for a long time. That's it! You're LGBT! And you may have some OCD as well!

Is this a symptom of soocd
I’m 25 and never ever thought this before my soocd relapse. I have a bf of 5 years. Never been a high libido kinda girl. Don’t get me wrong I do get turned on by my bf but not like every day you know? - That had always been in the back of my head, is this normal and ok? But my ocd has latched onto the most scariest what if EVER. My brain is now saying How do you know you won’t prefer to sleep and kiss girls if you haven’t tried it: and it’s that unknown that is scaring the shit out of me. I DONT AND NEVER HAVE wanted to sleep / kiss a girl. But now my intrusive thoughts is all I think about!!! I don’t want I don’t want I don’t want??? So why does my brain think BUT WHAT IF??? I know ocd thrives off uncertainty which is why I think this is happening? But I don’t wanna find out or work it out because all I want is to be with my bf and marry him!! Is this just the epitome of OCD?

Feels so real
I don’t know if it’s SOOCD. I no longer feel anxious in the moment when I think about women, and it’s like my imagination wants me to think about it and get aroused. I don’t want to be gay, but maybe I am after all. In my life I haven’t been so sexually driven before (when I was living with a man, or when being single) but now all I can think about is having sex with a woman. I don’t want to, but somehow my body does and it feels like my mind have changed to accept it to.. feel so sad This all started around 4 weeks ago..
