Accepting that you cant find an answer is the first step uncertainty is the key, i know it sucks. It takes long time to accept but once you do you slowly begin to feel better I went throgh many years where i belived i was gay or atleast bi, now i dont know if i one day will turn gay/bi but i dont think about it anymore

It was the same for me i thought i lost interest i wowan too, but now iβm much into woman again it has been that way for the past 5-6 years, but i have been obssesing over other things that sucks too. I can easily put myself in your ailments, have been through it myself and it's a hell. I thought at the time that if I thought a guy looked good you were gay now I can easily see a nice guy without being afraid of whether I am gay

@Rab all my life I've been happy being straight and about a year ago hocd hits and it's like I've hated how this happened to me. I just wanted to go back. I kept hold on all my previous crushes in boys as a sense of comfort but its never enough for ocd is it. Felt like a tragedy in my eyes, how I was so in love with my identity and then it all seems to break. I have a boyfriend during all this as well as rocd. A year later and still thoughts prop up if I'm bi and now I dont even wanna give a fuck. I just want to move on from this constant questioning of myself and other parts of my life cant suffer from this.

@bea238 yes it's hard while it's on, it's good you do not worry so much about it anymore. I have told myself that should it turn out that I am bisexual I will try to embrace it instead of fearing it

those thoughts I had too, they can be quite difficult to deal with you think about it 24/7, I also thought at one point that I would rather be in a relationship with a guy but I do not think so anymore, sometimes the thoughts can come but I say to myself that that answer I can not find. I can not say with 100% certainty that I am not bi but I do not worry about it anymore

@Ihateocd83 I'm also 38 mine started when I was 18, it got really bad when I was 29 and I told my then girlfriend about my thoughts and doubts, so until I turned 33 I thought I was into guys, suddenly a new fear appeared and I did not think about it anymore, it's rare the gay thoughts come now

@Ihateocd83 I know it well I did the same things, I thought I denied it, but I will never find that answer and I'm okay with that now. my best guess is that i'm straight but dont know for sure and thats okay too

@Ihateocd83 those days I had too, for me it helped a bit to talk to my girlfriend about it. but of course it depends on so many things whether it is something you want to share with her.

have you started treatment? it's important it's someone who really understands ocd but you probably know that. I have to talk to an ocd specialist myself next week about things that bother me, the other psychologists I have been to did not understand properly on ocd so it was without the big effect unfortunately
