I definitely can’t date or love on a man I am married tried acting on my HOCD when I was younger thinking I was gay and I am in fact straight I don’t even check out men, I do carry a shit ton of shame and guilt for trying something but I can’t change my past I would go back to before I got sick if I could change my past.

Yes mate ... we have spoke before. Its weird it just doesn't line up. I had my inkckling that's I was gonna end up thoughts like this as a boy or teenager and then suddenly in my 20s bam out of knowwhere and now it's on my mind constantly at the age of 38. FYI the penis thing only started about a year ago and wanting to be with a man. Could this just be severe ocd ....I'm not sure 😔

Good and bad days to be honest. Me and my gf have split up but I'm OK about it. It's just this going on. I don't want to start dating again because I feel like I'm leading them on with this going on. But I still have the want for women. I don't want to give into this shit 😒

@Bryan What shall I do about dating girls I still have the want there. But I don't want to lead anyone on if it is true ?. My last relationship was toxic and I was emotionally abused by my ex I think this might have played a factor in this getting worse ?

@Ihateocd83 If you don’t date, you will let OCD win. You have to keep living your life like before

@Day513 Could a bad relationship have made my ocd worse ?. Some days I'm so close to just going fuck I must be gay. It makes no sense the way I used to feel about girls it's so upsetting 😞

@Ihateocd83 There are many things that can trigger OCD and your symptoms. There are both environmental factors and mental factors that are affecting your ability to cope. I suggest some trauma therapy if your OCD is that bad. Especially if you were in a toxic relationship

@Ihateocd83 I know spend a lot of time on this app ruminating looking for reassurance your not gay or whatever, you need to learn to live by your values and not your OCD. You need to spend time with your son or your kids you have values Tommy your OCD is violating your core values you are in fact straight.

I keep having this weird feeling none stop that it’s most likely not HOCD and most my feelings. Like I’ve suffered none stop distress and unwanted thoughts the past few days. But those thoughts after a bit just feel weird not the kind of discomfort but are just their and stale. When I look at a guy I don’t feel anything but my thoughts sometimes compliment his looks or personality which makes me doubt my sexuality. I’ve never felt this weirded out. Because I’ve always been straight and still believe I am but I’ve never even had an emotional connection to someone of the opposite gender in fact. My view of the female body has been ruined with none stop pornography addictions. I don’t believe I’m gay but I feel like it may just be denial instead of HOCD but all my symptoms are literally HOCD. I don’t hate the idea of gay people but I can’t imagine or see my heart going off to like someone of the same sex. I haven’t really had any meaningful real life friends besides online but that also ended a few months ago. My only friend ever online that was my friend for the longest of time was a queer but I never really cared about what he liked. Like yes at some point I did try to challenge him with his own feelings but that didn’t last long I just accepted what he liked and moved on. I’ve never even touched let alone held a long conversation with a female. I’ve always been timid and shy around them but I can just say that towards male as well. The gay feelings feel so real. The thoughts feel a bit natural to me but I don’t want this. But I hate how I can’t just move on and be myself and love women when those thoughts demand attention and an answer. It won’t quit it. If I try to do a compulsion it calms down but it quickly becomes a problem again. I’m lonely I don’t have any friends or past relationships I can even think of helping me with the emotions. I still believe I’m straight and I just can’t see myself with a guy. It just doesn’t feel right for me despite my lack of experiences. I just wanna go back to how I was happy and loving girls and not having to question if it was a real feeling or just my natural timid nature. Everytime I think these distressing thoughts I always just wanna sit down and close my eyes and sleep. Because that’s where I can have peace of self. It sucks but I’m so exhausted of having to deal with emotional distress and I can’t even focus on my job as much. I want to meet new people discover my love for women again but I’m scared in the process I may discover I may be gay. Because deep down I know I wouldn’t ever be happy with myself if my greatest fears where confirmed. My dream of always being a father with a loving women and kids would be torn away by something I never asked for. Yes I’m religious, yes I come from a place that homosexuals are usually seen in a bad light. I just hate feeling this emotion that I may not be what I thought and having my dreams torn apart maybe true. I’ve read MUTIPLE articles about HOCD and seen MUTIPLE videos. I’ve come to the realization that I most likely have it. But it’s still hard when the feelings of maybe being gay maybe true you know? I hope I get better I hope I don’t suffer. I just wanna be happy with myself and loving females and I don’t wanna hate myself for feeling an emotion that never occurred to me more then a few times.

So i started to feel like a lesbian again and that i have to be one. I dont want to be one. I just dont. But being straight feel like a lie now. I question my whole life, my feelings and everything. The biggest indicator of this must be that i will be slowly 21 year old and ive never dated anyone and i dont really find anyone attractive and i dont even know if i truly was attracted to someone and im scared of relationships i might have trauma or have anxious avoidant attachment. Help me. I do feel lost. Really lost. I dont know who am I anymore. I feel like that i must have been gay my whole life now. I feel like an alien. I sometimes feel like 2 people are living inside of me.😞😞😞

I’ve completely lost myself. I can’t focus on my studies, I can’t go to the gym. Dang it I can’t 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 don’t feel the same way for guys that I do with girls my mind will always try to make me believe that I am gay. It’s like it’s forcing me into an identity I never asked for. But at the end of the day like my psychologist told me. Sexuality doesn’t change. So since I never felt anything for guys in my life it’s ocd. I’ve been up and down for 5 months now and while the last week I was feeling way better. Monday now and I’m back to zero. I just want to go back when everything was normal. I can’t keep living with this.
