Right now I don’t even know if it’s OCD/HOCD anymore. I just got the thought in my head saying” what if the reason why you’re stressing about all this is because you’re scared how people will except you as being bi-sexual”. And, “ no boys will like you anymore because of you being bisexual” is this normal for people with OCD/HOCD. now I just feel like I’m questioning my sexuality I don’t want to feel this way anymore I want to go back to my normal self I feel like no one can relate to me.

Mine centers around the fear that I’m bisexual too even though I don’t want to be! You’re not alone!

You’re on an OCD app, writing about worrying about a common OCD theme so ... probably OCD :) Treat it as such. Sit with the thoughts and do something productive instead of trying to make them go away.

the worst part is the “what if’s” that makes me go crazy. is my hocd just tricking me to think all of this stuff about bi sexual people relate to me? i’m so confused now

It’s totally normal to think the same sex is beautiful or even to think boobs can be beautiful! When I realized that, it helped me a lot! Just because you think something is attractive doesn’t mean you want to be with them. I only want to be with a man but I think women are beautiful which is why ocd attacks me so much. People who are actually gay or bisexual find peace and joy in the idea of being gay or bisexual. We clearly don’t or we wouldn’t be on this app

Also I have a group message on Instagram with people originally from this app who struggle with a lot of HOCD and ROCD. If any of you are interested, let me know

Reassurance won’t help you; it will only make it worse (I’m trying to remind myself of that too because I ask for reassurance all the time) but ocd can twist your thoughts in countless ways. I have no doubt that many people have had the exact same thoughts that you have. Again, if the thoughts don’t give you peace or joy (which clearly they don’t) it’s not really you.

i’m so scared. i feel like my thoughts have become different. what if i’m scared how people will react if i came out as bi. iv never felt this way. it feels SO REAL. now i believe i’m bi but just scared to come out and be accepted.

I’ve been there. We all have. I know it hurts but try not to fight the thoughts so much. Make yourself get up and do something other than trying to solve this in your mind.

Went through this recently. Set Tinder to girls only (I am a girl) and made myself check it every day until I became less afraid of being bi. I’m still not sure if I’m bi or not, but I no longer need an answer, and the idea of being bi no longer scares me. In short, the only thing that worked for me was to give it a go on a safe-ish space like Tinder. Be strong friend! Expose yourself. It helps.

@nicolep123... I can totally totally relate u... Exact same feelings in my mind.... It's hell.... Disgusting... Dirty...annoying... Exhausting... I will never give up on guys... I don't want to be with any girl ever... Bull shit... It's very irritating..... Plz someone help

@katee...i don't want this thought at all... I want my self back...

ok thank you. but i still don’t understand why my thoughts have changed to “ i’m just scared how people will accept me “ or “if your bi you cant ware this or do that” is that just ocd???

Really @Nicolep Same with me.... It's more horrible now

ok thank you so much. i’m telling myself that it’s just ocd and i need to agree with the thoughts no matter how real it feels

Give me your Instagram name and I’ll add yoy

I understand @nicolep123 It feels real for me too?

can you please add me my @ is @nicolettaphilipopoulos

now what if this is just what i have been worried about the whole time!!!? ughhhh

i still feel deep down, i am scared to be bi but now a bunch of thoughts have popped up in my head about me being scared to be accepted and people and how people will look at me. is this ocd or is this is the truth and how i’m actually feeling. but even thinking that these thoughts are true scares me so much

Here’s my opinion. It’s totally normal to be attractive to the opposite sex, or find someone attractive or have intrusive thoughts. It’s who you love. Define love and forget everything else. Just let it be.

@jen...whats that Instagram post

Once you accept my follow request Nicole, I’ll be able to add you! And Meredith I messaged you to make sure I found the right person
