I just told my best friend I may be bisexual... it helped relieve the anxiety by a lot for a few hours, but now I’m back up again at night worrying about sex dreams and what not... I told him because I thought he was already thinking I was, and just coming clean would make the anxiety and rumination go away... it hasn’t..

I have told friends this before and it helps for the instant. I’ve always thought okay if this IS true, it’ll give me the biggest wave of relief. But no, instead I still panic because me being bi feels not right either and it doesn’t seem true (like my actual desire). Annoying as heck. I’m sorry!! OCD sucks

I had this exact situation happen to me as well. I had been dealing with intrusive thoughts and felt like saying that I am bisexual would help. It did for a couple hours then my brain went right back into but what if this... So, I realized that I told my friend that because it felt like I had finally come to a conclusion not because it felt like my real self. So, you are definitely not alone. OCD does suck

It’s just funny, because it seems as close as you can be to living in the uncertainty. Strange how it’s literally just a compulsion
