some thoughts that have been bothering me today: “what’s the difference between wanting to be with the same sex or not” “if i was religious i wouldn’t want to be bisexual so it’s denial or something” “if i end up married to my boyfriend and never experience sex with a girl i could still be bisexual if i wanted to have sex with a girl” “i feel like i do” “i have fantasies quite often about a threesome even though i know i would never want that” “what if i want the threesome just to experiment with a girl so that i don’t have to break up with my boyfriend” (even though that’s stupid that experience would never happen) “what if we break up and i do have sex with a girl” “when i fantasize about that stuff i kind of do want it but don’t at the same time” “i’m straight…. wait no i’m bi i have to be” THIS IS EXHAUSTING 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣😂

These thoughts are totally typical of HOCD. OCD loves questions that don’t have objective answers. As crippling as the uncertainty can feel, no amount of worrying can really change the future. We think that these mental gymnastics provide us steps towards the answer to our worries, or prepare us for the worst, but that’s not the case at all. The more you ask yourself, ‘what if I’m bi, but I haven’t had the experiences to unlock it yet?’, remember that there’s absolutely nothing in the present that can give you that answer. When you find yourself slipping into these periods of rumination, try and divert your attention. Engaging in it brings you nothing but misery, and you’re perpetuating the anxiety!!
