Don’t worry about them. Be yourself!! If they can’t accept it that’s fine. You can’t live your life by having others having that control over you.
but the thing is i don't want to be gay. my family would accept me, but my mind is telling they won't and that's why i'm in "denial"
Well it seems you know it's b.s. and your parents accepting you I would think is more important than you sexual preference. But I've had this theme before and I get it. My worries about exceptance gave me the most anxiety too.
it's mmostly because i don't want it myself. but then i feel in denial and i don't know if it's my ocd or my "deep down" self talking :( i am trying to distract myself but it makes it feel more like denial if i don't think about it
To me this is very clearly ocd and nothing more, and you understand it as well because you are here looking for help. Don't distract yourself, that will make it worse. Let the thoughts stay, don't try to figure them out though, you never will. And sometime when the anxiety is gone, you'll realize it was all a lie. Do you have a counselor?
no sadly i can't get therapy. i am waiting until school reopens, maybe i could then speak to the school counselor
Absolutely do that. Make sure to talk about ERP therapy when you do.
