GUYS PLEASE HELP ME ITS URGENT. so today my friend came out as bi. I wanted to know if it would help me with my hocd. She said that she is 15 and she didnt think about liking a girl before. Shes okay with being bi but afraid of the world. EVEN IM 15. I've had hocd but I dont wanna be bi or gay. Even when I say this, it feels like I'm lying. I cried about it alot yesterday. I dont wanna be bi please help me get rid of this. And I no longer have any evidence that I'm not bi cuz I thought that I was straight before and so did she but then she turned out to be bi. Please help

It’s probably your ocd

It sounds like you’re looking for reassurance. You might be, you might not be. Try to Accept the uncertainty that it could happen or could not. There is no other way to solve it. Compulsions and reassurance are not your friend. You’ll be okay no matter what. 😎

Yeah bro, I know we need to accept the uncertainty. But what if I turn out to be gay after accepting the uncertainty. I know its difficult but I just cant. I'll accept the uncertainty for about 5 minutes and then I'll again start saying that " I'm not gay" " I am straight " etc

@raj123 Just gotta practice and try ERP or other therapies

@raj123 Hey I’m 27 and still struggle with this all the time. You saying “if I turn out to be gay” is still just anxiety and fear. You have to expose yourself to it. Say things like “if I’m gay, it wouldn’t be that bad.” Or “maybe I’m gay, maybe I’m straight, who really knows?” It sounds counterintuitive but it will bring you peace. Just try to expose yourself to the fear
