Sigh ever feel like yup im straight and u know deep down u are but then all of a sudden you get this doubt of but what if you arent or what if. But then you remember its just thoughts but then more doubt.

Whats zoloft? Does it get rid of intrusive thoughts?

Ikr?? This has been triggered for me for people asking if im bi or gay. But i never cares until i broke up with my exboyfriend. I know im straight because i dont support the whole bi and gay thing. But i feel like im so tired of thinking abt it im just like i dont care

@Anonymous help Ahh yeah it’s triggering for me also because it just popped up in my head out of no where when I’ve never questioned my sexuality before especially not like this just earlier this month I was all for men it just doesn’t make sense to me

@Jaden1204 Yes it’s the same for my daughter- not once did she question her sexuality and now she feels like she looks at each girl and wonders what is going on...

@Jaden1204 Same!! I know its just not me so i label them as thoughts. But what saddens me is that ive lost a little interest in men

@Anonymous help How old are you btw

@rachel1219 It’s an uphill battle honestly

@Anonymous help Omg yes when this first hit me I saw that my interest in men and how I would usually react to men who I found super attractive or just attractive in general kind of dimmenish and it wasn’t the same anymore. So ofc that made me extra worried and overthink everything but now that I’ve kind of got air like for example I’ll take a walk around my neighborhood or actually being exposed to the world instead of staying at home even though I still am being safe due to covid I saw a change in my overall mood and that my thoughts are really just thoughts instead of how I actually feel Bc as soon as I saw a guy that was attractive to my taste my usual reaction came back . It’s still a work in progress though but I can tell I’m slowly but surely getting back to being my original self . But I won’t say it’s easy though !!!

@Jaden1204 How old are you if you don’t mind me asking you ? My daughter is going through the same thing - it’s not easy for her

@rachel1219 Yes I totally felt that when I usually would see a women especially if she was pretty she would be just that pretty nothing more nothing less. Then ever since this HOCD hit me me simply listen to female artist would freak me out , I try to avoid everything that required a female , I would simply overthink if I found a female pretty thinking I was gay . But That simply not the case. Ik that I don’t like females that’s just not for me personally but my ocd makes me believe that I’m in denial but I just have to remember it’s just my ocd and not how I truly feel

@Jaden1204 Yeah. Mine still isnt as strong. Its also because i was dealing with this after my breakup with my boyfriend maybe thats also the reason this is happening like maybe im still angry over this breakup that i cant find the motive to find a guy attractive as much as i use to?

@Anonymous help Ah yeah that actually could be a really valid reason which is apart of a grieving process that you are going through right now ...I feel like mines stimulate from never really having a boyfriend before and me thinking is my soulmate supposed to be a man but then I realized that I’m still straight lol

@Jaden1204 Ya

@Jaden1204 My daughter has never had a boyfriend before either

@rachel1219 Which is why this makes things super super hard

@rachel1219 I feel like ur daughter is semi what im going through that social media has gotten to her. This world use to frown upon the whole lgbqt community. And i me and my family still do. But to other people its the new cool thing. So over the years i have been asked if i am bi or gay and ive simply ignored it because you know i didnt care and i was so hooked on guys and so eager to get a boyfriend. But the day after i broke up with my boyfriend my ex friend said an lgbqt thing to me and it finally got to me it triggered me. I had a mini seizure in a way the first night it was so bad i got hot started shaking getting headaches and my heart raced quickly. I know im straight but i just label these as thoughts now because really theyre not true for me and i fear it so much so that just gives me more validation. Because i always cry over it. So rn this was basically all caused bc of social media and my breakup. So i think ur daughter should stay off social media. Because the whole comunity crap shit is all welcoming to that culture now adays. So its being forced everywhere. I cant go on snap for a second without seeing something that might trigger me. Rn texting this im trying to avoid it as much as i can i fear it so much. I get anxiety i think about it. Im going to a doctor today to get sleep pills and im getting a record for a CBT therapist for this whole hocd thing im so over it

@Anonymous help You are so right - how it can ruin someone’s young mind it’s beyond me ... but hopefully the kids have a good head on their shoulders

@rachel1219 Im not gonna let me kids have phone until theyre like juniors in highschool and im having them only have texting and calling idc how much they complain

@Anonymous help How old are you dear

@rachel1219 19 yeah i know dont rush life but i wanna get married already im sick and tired of being in this stupid teenager stage

@Anonymous help I totally agree
