I opened instagram and attraction feels so real. I did find women pretty before this, everybody does, but not all. Nothing like everyone is attractive. Why is this happening now? I was always into men. And HOCD got triggered a month after I entered into a relationship. What is this... this feels so real.

I actually dealt with this as well! Honestly you are so hyper aware of women at the moment because you are CONSTANTLY asking yourself if you’re a lesbian. I also thought every woman was attractive and thought I had a crush on them all! That hyperfixation and scanning just confuses the brain. You are checking for attraction

I’ve dealt with this theme so many times since I was younger and I know it’s confusing. Just trust that your mind will return to balance. I know that’s easier said than done and there is definitely a process! But you’ve got it :)
