I don’t understand
I was so confident that I was straight 3 weeks ago and now all of a sudden it feels like I have become a lesbian! That doesn’t make any sense 😭

Look I totally understand, I was fine about 30 minutes ago and I read one word and it triggerd me into intrusive thoughts about being gay. Ik I'm not gay I have a girlfriend, and honestly I don't have feelings for men. But now my mind is obsessing over it and I feel so uncomfortable with these thoughts.
Big buzz word I saw there was “ feel”. Feelings aren’t facts. Also, if you think girls are pretty or attractive it’s cuz they are lol. It’s practically by design so we can attract mates for breeding. I’m straight and I think girls are pretty, even sexy. But my sexual preference is to men. Ocd is just sending you a fire alarm with no fire. Just say “ hmmm, me as a lesbian? Interesting ( or not interesting idea) “ and just carry on with your day. Just because you think or feel something doesn’t make it true.
@TexasOCD41 But I’m not having any anxiety or distress!!
@Beachgirl2024 Oh, the crying emoji threw me off lol then just enjoy it then. You’re basically just experiencing normal thoughts like everyone else and no emotional distress is fantastic! Sounds like what every therapy you are doing is working.
I feel you😔 i feel like im confident for few days that im straight and then i start to spiral again and again and i feel so convinced that im gay. Always the same scenario. Always
I've always found women pretty and admired them since I was younger, never wanted to be with them or anything. I always pictured having a boyfriend and my crushes were always boys. I have a boyfriend now but because this has happened I feel nothing towards him or any men. To be honest I'm so exhausted I don't feel much at all, there was so much anxiety at the start and now there is none. Does that mean I have accepted the thoughts. My mind keeps going you were suppressed all these years but I do find women pretty so that's what's making it worse. Am I just in denial and being delusional? I never doubted my sexuality before this I always considered myself to be straight but I feels like my mind has been twisted and can't remember any attraction to guys but can remember thinking girls are pretty? Does this mean it's all real? I don't know anymore
I feel sick to my stomach, a few days ago I knew I was straight and could picture my life with my bf again. The anxiety has really lessend and Im more depressed now. I'm 100% convinced I am lesbian even tho I have never had sexual attraction to women, found them pretty but never wanted to be with them. My mind is only picturing me being with women now and it feels like a pit in my stomach. I don't feel emotion now, I'm also on my period. I don't want to be lesbian. I want to be with my boyfriend and have the life I pictured with him. My memory is so dissorted right now. I don't think there's anything wrong with being lesbian, it's just not for me and now that makes me feel like I'm homophobic.
So i started to feel like a lesbian again and that i have to be one. I dont want to be one. I just dont. But being straight feel like a lie now. I question my whole life, my feelings and everything. The biggest indicator of this must be that i will be slowly 21 year old and ive never dated anyone and i dont really find anyone attractive and i dont even know if i truly was attracted to someone and im scared of relationships i might have trauma or have anxious avoidant attachment. Help me. I do feel lost. Really lost. I dont know who am I anymore. I feel like that i must have been gay my whole life now. I feel like an alien. I sometimes feel like 2 people are living inside of me.😞😞😞
