I just saw something on Insta that super triggered me. One of those reels. It was like “if you’ve ever taken and ‘am I gay’ quiz online...happy pride!” Basically implying that if you’ve questioned your sexuality it could only possibly mean one thing. Is this true? Has anybody else had a -long- history of questioning and is in a happy relationship and 25 years old and still doesn’t feel like they can confidently say they are this or that sexuality? Is it normal to just question forever?

omggggg i saw this reel too!!!! just 2 days ago and i cried my eyeballs out for an hour!! and then i started getting scared because "what if i cried because i felt called out which means i am in denial" this literally happened 2 days and i was FREAKING out, and it's the same reel!! i had questioned myself before hocd because it was all over tiktok, and i even took tests, and after my ocd(i hope it's hocd and not denial)i started taking more tests for reassurance, and this reel sent me off the edge. i had been doing better but then i saw that video and cried for a whole hour then had a terrible headache for the rest of the day.

The q in lgbtq means queer but I’ve seen in some places where it stands for both queer and questioning. So I mean, it seems unlikely but maybe that was their point?

I went through that for many years when I was married I would question myself you know I come from our history family of OCD so I didn’t know why I would question myself all the time until now that I am turning 40 and finally finding the correct doctors and analyzing I’m divorced now and I’m better off like that because I need to fix myself emotionally mentally because of childhood trauma and sexual abuse also contributes to sometimes I’m questioning OCD of your sexual preference but you will be off all right don’t question yourself as much just let the day go try not to so much question yourself Just breathe in and breathe out and except what you feel and just let it go try to here affirmations of LGBT try to hear things that are positive it’s very hard when you get caught up in that cycle of repetitive thoughts but we are all here to help each other and I’m very appreciate of of this app you can always message me whenever you want to speak I’m very very familiar with this OCD pattern

You’re seeking reassurance. But sure I’m sure lots of people question forever

I’m so sorry
