I won’t tell you how you should feel about possibly being gay or not, OCD can make things feels really, really real. But I know for a fact suicide prevention hotline won’t judge you at all if you tell them you’re gay or are having these thoughts. Let’s say worst case scenario, you are gay, and it’s not OCD. You are still a caring and amazing human being, none of that will change by you being gay. Again, I won’t say you are gay or not since OCD is terrible and can make our thoughts feel really real, but please don’t be ashamed either way, you are amazing, I hope everything goes well for you!💜

suicide hotline will not judge you. but i definitely recommend a therapist. even if you were just gay, therapy is beneficial to anyone and everyone. it sounds like these thoughts and feelings are distressing you and causing you to drink and isolate yourself. both of those factors are more than enough reason to seek long-term treatment. if you feel bad enough to call a suicide hotline, then seeing a therapist is well within your rights. there is absolutely nothing wrong with seeking help. no one's problems are any better or worse than yours.

@Imaan7 I told them because I want this to go away I want to live my fucking life again I want to feel ok like I used to I’m dead inside and it hurts so bad well if I do have hocd it started when I was 16 I started doubted my sexuality I’m 26 now so you can see why I think I’m just gay it hurts so bad on top of that I used alcohol to mask it now I’m having with drawl

@Andrew It is very much possible that you really pushed yourself deep in the rabbit hole, I think hocd has taken over your brain. Do talk to a therapist man, Im in a similar situation where I think Im gay too but then again Ive overthunk way too much and may have confused myself. I can barely function these days which is why Ive decided to talk to someone. Do it man, see an ocd specialist

Suicide hotline is a great resource for you! They have no idea who you are and will stay neutral!

Anyone else will just be doing anything normal and I’m gay comes in? It’s so distressing and I try and say ok sure ocd but the anxiety over takes me and my mind won’t let me believe I’m straight when I am. I love men I’m Not attracted to women but when I ask myself the doubt is for sure there which sounds like Casebook ocd. I’m just sick of this I don’t want to have to laugh at things in my head that don’t make any sense it’s so hard and unfair

I know I need therapy. I have a flare up every three months that rocks my world— it’s been like this for four years. I’m just too scared. I’m too scared to have a therapist tell me I’m a lesbian. I’m too scared to do ERP and have it not work because it wasn’t actually OCD. I’m too scared for the ERP to work and me finally feel comfortable with being bisexual or a lesbian. I don’t want any of that to happen. I don’t understand how I can get over this and still be straight. I’m petrified at the thought of therapy, but what is going to happen to me?
