I'm so scared. People always say that it doesn't matter what sexuality you actually are, but I feel like I am/ will turn gay and have to leave my husband. It's been destroying my life for the last 5 years.
I understand your condition, but it is better to consult a doctor, believe me, this is the best decision you can make now. and you will feel better)
Hey! I’ve been struggeling with SOOCD for 5 + years ans just wanted to let you know I know hard it is and I am also in a relationship for 7 years. Try to sit in the moment and not think about the future! What matters is that you’re happy now and whatever happens in the future you’ll cross that bridge when you get there! Im not even gonna dig in and ask you how it started or of you ever anything before because to would feed your OCD!
@Anonymousesti Pls help pls i feel helpless and your comment made me hope for some guidance pls do.. i would be grateful
@Anonymousesti Hey this is so similar to me - it comes in waves and is so scary- because it has been there so long that’s how it convinves me it may be real
@Anonymous - yeah I really get that... I can't even find guys attractive anymore and since I was never the "boy crazy girl" in high school and I used to choose who I wanted to have a crush on it really sucks because it really feels true. What I try to remember is that sexuality is a spectrum and if you're happy with your bf right now that is all that matters. Everyone loves differently!
Hey... I feel like I remember you from somewhere... I remember talking to you a while ago...
Due to the experience I’m having with SOOCD… The false attraction to same gender and loss of attraction to opposite gender gender, I havnt been intimate with my wife for a while. Really struggling and it makes me just want to end it to be honest. Last night my wife and I had a argument about not being intimate and she said ‘you might as well be gay’ Well that put me in a horrendous spiral. I havnt slept and my anxiety is so high my chest feels like it’s crushing in. I’ve sweat all night. She doesn’t know what she’s done as she doesn’t really know about all my issues.
I feel I have HOCD FOR MORE THAN 10 years now. Basically all my ocd started since me and my husband started dating for real…. Will it ever go away? Will I ever be happy? Will I ever know? I don’t know… How long for you? Edit for me it’s more SO OCD cause I think I’m bisexual
people who have so-ocd, do you feel like you’re lying to your partner secretly. i don’t know why i get these intrusive thoughts but my mind continuously keeps making scenarios where i will leave my girlfriend in the future for a man. i want to stay a lesbian forever and i don’t want to hurt my girlfriend and it makes me so upset that my brain makes these thoughts up. i really hate all these thoughts and i don’t want to be with a man, i don’t want to be attracted with one, i don’t want to like one or anything related to one.
