Should i just accept that i may be bisexual? Im sick and tired of being confused and anxious

I've tried that, but I realized its a compulsion to get rid of my anxiety and give me certainty. No matter how much you tell yourself you're the sexuality you identify with OCD will not care

I assume you have HOCD as i do, so also "coming out" to a family member or friend will not help, as I have done that as well in a rough moment 😂

@alexisrae1999 Lol! Thanks for letting me know. Im 3 months in and i don't know how stop it. Scaring me alot

@matt9876 Ahh that's nothing, start treatment while you've caught it in the early stages. I wish I would've tried ERP sooner, it wouldve saved me a lot of time and stress :(

@alexisrae1999 I feel like i've rushed into it, i'm starting to think that i have false attractions. I used to careless about the topic a few weeks ago until i fully relapsed. What do you think is the best exposure examples for me?

@matt9876 Hmm, well I'd say only you can decide what the best exposures for you would be, as you know your specific triggers. I'd say probably watching a show or movie that highlights gay couples (like Glee, or that broke back mountain movie with jake gyllenhall) could be a good place to start. But the best thing you can do is when you get an intrusive thought--accept it as a thought, feel the anxiety and let it pass. With HOCD you're probably going to be actively triggered all day every day, so it gives you a lot of ERP potential :)

Tried as well. Just made it worse

I did that too and even told my one friend. It made me feel relieved for a little bit but I think more from the fact that I thought I came to a conclusion finally. Then later that day I went back into the cycle of but what if
