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
