I’m scared because if I think “she’s attractive” my brain gose “you think she’s hot? Well your are romantically attracted to her then! You are gay! Or bi! Yes you are! You can’t find the same sex pretty! You don’t like guys anymore ADMIT IT!” Even though that’s not how I feel and I actually am attracted to men like I know I’m not gay, I could never be with a women, but my brain always tells me the opposite. But it’s not the truth. I think also the fact I can’t get a boyfriend makes my brain say “well that’s just the cherry on top, obviously you are gay” when I just can’t find a guy I wanna be with. Help

No matter how much reassurance you give your brain it will not stop. Me for example, I have been with many guys and I’ve enjoyed it very much, but my brain still tells me I’m gay or bi. I think many women look at other women to be honest, and I started to admit maybe I’m a little bi but I won’t act on it because it’s not in my comfort zone. And then my OCD started to let up because it didn’t cause so much anxiety. I still do get intrusive thoughts though. I’m actually married and when I am feeling less attracted to my husband my brain goes “yeah see you’re gay” and I’m like wtf? 😂

Literally it’s torture! I’ve tried that but it gives me more anxiety when I let the thoughts in. It literally attacks anything you love into believing the opposite and I can’t take much more of it

@Someday Oh trust me It attacks everything you love. To the point where I have two children and all the sudden after having children for 5 years, and after years of being a teacher, my OCD decided it was going to give me POCD out of absolutely nowhere. It attacks what you love most.
