for the first few months of me having those thoughts I didn’t know that HOCD was a thing and then I went to a psychiatrist who diagnosed me with ocd and I started looking it up and it started making so much more sense to me so I guess just knowing that many other people have these same intrusive thoughts and are going through the same thing makes me remember that it isn’t real and i’m not alone. I guess I just had to grow out of it in a way but I know how hard it is, you just have to remind yourself that just because you think something, doesn’t mean it’s true. thoughts and even feelings are not reality. just remind yourself of those things!

It might be worth looking up rocd, some of the thoughts could be related to this as well. I suffer with it, and what I try to do and know has worked for others is accept the thoughts. Don't engage with it - live with the fact you might be a lesbian, and this will eventually stop the anxiety as your brain will learn not to fear it. I know thats hard. And these obsessive thoughts will never stop, but they'll become less frequent and won't bother you. Try seeing a therapist and ERP is proven to be a good treatment too. Good luck

We basically are going through the same thing. Ive been with my boyfriend for a little over a year now. Ive been enjoying our relationship immensely and i know i love him 100%, but then when we were intimate i couldnt focus at all cuz my brain just wasnt there. It was constantly telling me i cant be attracted to him because im not actually attracted to men (which is false) Its the worst and i absolutely hate it. I absolutely emptathize with you in every way i can

LESBIAN WITH SO-OCD
hi i’m a lesbian! and i have known im a lesbian for a really long time and i have a sweet girlfriend of 1 year. it all started when i saw this masc lesbian come out as straight, after that i had my guy friend over and he’s a sweet guy and he was flirting with me (he didn’t know i was gay) im not sure but i panicked and my brain froze and i was like “do i like him”, ever since my brain has been over worked 24/7 for 2 months now and it’s spiralling constantly. im trying to control it but all these thoughts are so disgusting and my brain tries to put him and i in scenarios that make me uncomfortable and i feel panic and i hate it. i have always been comfortable being a lesbian and i still am comfortable as a lesbian, but i dislike these thoughts i have about him and men and i want it to be over. i do not want to experiment with men even tho my brain is telling me i do, i find it disgusting and i dread it, i have a sweet girlfriend and i want to be with her forever, i do not imagine anything with any men and i hate these thoughts. im scared of becoming bisexual/straight one day and i hate hearing sexuality is fluid. its a whole mix of comphet and so-ocd

hocd
I don’t know what to do anymore, this started nearly a year ago and caused so much stress and panic attacks over the thought of loosing my boyfriend. Now it just feels real and that he always liked girls and suppressed it (but like the boys i always liked in the past were real feelings they had to be and with my boyfriend i love him) but i haven’t got much anxiety now feels like i want the thoughts and that they don’t bother me even tho they used to, this seems to happen every time i get a lil better, idk just feels so true and that’s what i acc want with no stress, just a lil scared.

Sexual ocd
Hey guys so I have been suffering with sexual ocd due to the fact that I don’t feel that romantic spark with him anymore, I love him and I know I do but I get to much in my thoughts thinking about why can’t I feel that anymore what has changed what if I don’t wanna be with anymore I’ve been with him for 4 years and at first I think it was ROCD but now I started thinking what if I’m into girls now I’ve always been the type to say oh a girl is so pretty or I like this about her but now I feel like every time I see a girl I’m like do I see myself in a relationship with her oh she’s pretty oh I like her voice do I find it attractive and sometimes I do !!! Which is killing me I feel disgust thinking about because what if I secretly am no shame to people who are my sister herself is but I just feel wierd because I wanna be with my husband and feel happy there not with a girl and feel like a man because I see myself in the mirrior and I’m like do I myself being a man do I look lesbian? Do I act lesbian or bi? What if secretly I wanna be a man or I imagine myself being a man in a relationship with a pretty girl and idk what to think
