Hey :) I feel really hopeless too. I never questioned it either until one day the question āwhat if Iām gay?ā popped into my head because of something my dad said to me. Iām literally 22 and have a boyfriend (in the military). I had all of these what if questions that made me feel like itās true and so many intrusive images and groinal responses. I feel numb. I see my boyfriend in a week and Iām scared about a lot of things. Just know youāre not alone and Iām sorry that I donāt have the best advice right now š

Thank you so much for commenting it means so much to just know Iām not alone I just feel like I canāt handle it anymore and I feel the only outcome is being gay but it makes no sense I have no more than thoughts no physical attraction or feeling I just hate it

Iāve definitely had some better days than others. I think any distractions help and you just have to accept the uncertainty (I know that really sucks to hear). Have you been diagnosed with OCD? If not I would get diagnosed and then start ERP therapy! I think you would really benefit from it! :) do you mind me asking how old you are?

I havenāt been diagnosed so maybe Iām just overthinking but when I read all the symptoms and took tests it says I do and when researching how I felt and stumbled across hoocd I read peopleās comments and I felt like everything u was going through was normal and thereās people out there that feel the same but I feel what Iām going through is continuous and i just feel sad and stressed all the time not knowing what to believe anymore and straining my relationship as all he says is stop overthinking and be positive which is understandable but itās just so hard lately to be happy and positive when I that feeling of uncertainty and ya no problem at all Iām 17 :)
