Sexual Orientation- obsessive compulsive disorder (ocd)

[Jack russell dad]

Does anybody on here have this? Just curious. I have known that i'm gay for over a year now, but always worried i might instantly turn straight. I constantly checked to see what i got aroused by and thinking about who i like more. Does anybody else have this? I know i am gay but i fear i will turn straight. It is so bad i can't even hang with my besties without worrying i will turn straight and feel attraction to them. And YES, i am gay. I have been diagnosed with sexual orientation ocd. Anybody else have this?

I don't but I'm pretty sure my cousin mentioned having something like that

I have paranoid irrational thoughts that someone will "figure out" that I'm straight, or that I'll wake up one day and realize that I'm not gay.

I think part of it is that, strictly speaking, I'm bisexual and tend to get with guys.

Part of this is because, let's face it, chicks do not dig this.

Idk, I just feel really uneasy when I think of myself as falling under the "LGBT" demographic, like I've walked into the wrong bathroom or something. There's just that moment of embarrassment before I go "No dude, you totally belong here, calm down".

Im clincally diagnoised with bad ocd, i cant help but move things, repeat things, do things repeatedly till they feel right. Ill wash my hands5 times if i think it'll get rid of the 'germs'
I get awful anxiety and this really stops me from doing things easily.
I grew to have HOCD which is homosexual ocd or straight ocd for you, and its awful alwas have been. It brought me so much pain but how i got out of it is i stopped. I stopped going on forums stopped going to find reassurance and i basically started feeling attraction again and i got relief. I try not to think about it though as you imagine its quite difficult you'll push through.

No, never worry about it, so ply because a sexual orientation does not simply switch completely (in my experience at least). If your gay, your gay.

I don't but I can see and understand why someone would
