It came along with when I realized I was bisexual, which my ocd turned into "what if you're actually just a lesbian in denial" and lots of checking if I'm still attracted to my boyfriend. All my ocd themes also usually originates from my ROCD.

My dad and aunt started saying that they looked like girls and that I should come out already. Then the question āwhat if Iām gayā popped into my mind. Then the spiraling began š

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?

Anyone who has had sexual orientation OCD since the ādating ageā (middle school/high school)ā how did you ever determine your sexuality? I donāt want reassurance because I understand our experiences may be different. Iām just curiousā did you try boys and girls? Did you just find your person and know? I started having SOOCD at age 16 and Iām now 28. OCD has ruined my ability to date more than anything else. I feel like it stole my chance at love. Iāve had three long-term situationships with men. I adored them but they were also toxic because I think I subconsciously didnāt believe I deserved better. I felt that if I knew the relationship wouldnāt work because of fundamental differences, at least it was okay that I couldnāt fully be present in the relationship. Not sure if this makes sense, but Iām just grieving that part of my life I missed out on.
