@raj123 Not being homophobic doesn't mean you're gay. It just means you're becoming more accepting that LGBTQ is okay.

I'm the complete opposite. Before HOCD, I'm totally okay with people from the LGBTQ community and support them. But after this, I feel like I've become homophobic and I feel so bad.

I don't know any people who are gay so I dont know much about lgbtq. But my mind is constantly telling me that it's okay to be gay. WHYYYš. IM 15 And I always wanted to be with women of my age and older. I used to fantasize about women everytimeš

@raj123 Same here. When I was a child, I would fantasize about having a boyfriend. Now, with HOCD, I try to imagine myself with a boy and my brain replaces it with the same gender instead.

@CharleneP I'm scared I no longer enjoy fantasizing about women. Neither do I enjoy fantasizing about men

@CharleneP No, I'm just 15. I dont have any financial helpš. On anxiety days I'm like I need a therapist asap. On non anxiety days, I'm like I'm recovering, why do I need a therapist.

@CharleneP I thought I was the only one, unfortunately I think its making sense for me bc I never had a gf or romantic feelings for a girl( Maybe I did and I just cant remember) but I never had any female friends. Would you want to talk about this somewhere else?

Exactly, Now that I understand that its ok if you like same sex but now it feels like why choose girls when you can also like guys? Its messed up my head

Just because you think it's okay to be gay doesn't mean you're gay. Like I think its okay to be trans doesn't mean that I am trans

Iāve completely lost myself. I canāt focus on my studies, I canāt go to the gym. Dang it I canāt even be around my male friends normally anymore. I got no idea why or how this happened but the only thing I know for sure is that I never questioned my sexuality neither doubted it. I never cared in general. I just liked girls. I keep testing and keep testing and keep testing my arousal but no matter how many times I see but I donāt feel the same way for guys that I do with girls my mind will always try to make me believe that I am gay. Itās like itās forcing me into an identity I never asked for. But at the end of the day like my psychologist told me. Sexuality doesnāt change. So since I never felt anything for guys in my life itās ocd. Iāve been up and down for 5 months now and while the last week I was feeling way better. Monday now and Iām back to zero. I just want to go back when everything was normal. I canāt keep living with this.

I need too know that I'm not insane, really. I am 16 and for the past two weeks, this has been completely ruining my health and happiness. I only recently came out as a lesbian like 3 months ago after a lot of confusion about my attraction since I used to think I liked men. At first, I felt so sure that I liked women, but lately, I've been having these unwanted thoughts about the possibility of liking men. I never used to feel this way, but now, every time I look at a man, my brain obsessively fixates on it. It forces me to imagine kissing him, loving him, things I donāt want, and then tries to convince me that I do. Itās painful. The thought of this fills me with fear and anxiety, leading to panic attacks and breakdowns. I donāt want these thoughts. I hate them with every fiber of my being, but Iām terrified that one day Iāll act on them and somehow like it. I used to think I liked men, but back then, I was in a very unhealthy space in a time of escapism and something deeply parasocial. Iāve only ever liked the attention and validation a man could give me, but these experiences are somehow treated as further proof that Iām "bisexual." Iāve never been in a real relationship with anyone, which makes my brain constantly challenge meātelling me, āYou donāt even know what love feels like.ā It wonāt shut up. It keeps obsessively trying to make me prove that Iām a lesbian, testing my reactions and questioning my certainty. Is this normal?

For me it was a weird intrusive thought and after that I slowly started developing anxiety and I felt a weird thing like I was losing my attraction to girls. Then I woke up one day in complete panic cuz it felt like I had lost feelings for girls suddenly and I started searching online how to know if youāre gay if sexuality changes suddenly and I took some gay tests or sexuality tests online. Chat gpt was a big thing back then too. That was before therapy and before I knew what ocd is.Can anyone relate?
