i’m on day three identifying as bisexual for exposure therapy! the thoughts don’t bother me at all, and i still accept uncertainty just fine. my attraction to women has gone down a tad bit, but i know it’ll go back once the anxiety has lessened. i feel awesome! if anyone has any questions, ask away !

let me try to find your post!

A lot of people do stuff like this. Seen a guy on YouTube over exaggerate all of his intrusive thoughts for a month to cure his SOOCD.

yes! once the fear of identifying of bisexual goes away, so will OCD, because it’s based off fear.

it’s typically normal in the way a straight person would feel it- groin responses, intrusive thoughts, and loss of attraction. the only difference is the root of the problem- the fear that i’m not valid enough.

@☁️ 𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘪𝘯 ☁️ Hmm that’s interesting to hear that the root cause is pretty different. Also is being bi the fear or did it start with being Hetero then it switched to bi?

@NihonWarrior516 the fear in general was just being attracted to men. it never really focused on labels, the main fear i had is that i wasn’t a lesbian. usually it was about being bisexual though!
