Going through a rough patch with hocd, I feel like I completely believe that I am a lesbian but won’t come out/accept myself. It just feels like a realization when I go through these rough patches and I’m just ignoring them so that’s why I keep having them. When it spikes my thoughts/feelings are revolving around arousal and what I get aroused by sexually. I’ve done my exposures but it feels like nothing is helping today and I can only let it pass and hope for a better day tomorrow.

Don’t give up! No matter what “answer” you give your OCD, it won’t help. Even if you are lesbian or straight or bi in the end (who knows?), if you get through the ERP, whatever the outcome is will be so much easier because you won’t be obsessing over it. Keep your head up :)
