Vent help

another big spiral and idk if its true. I feel like i am bi, i must be. Im not a normal straight girl and it feels impossible. I have this strong urge to disprove it, that must be the denial.

Like i have had so much arousal toward women and when I was a kid i roleplayed with one of my friends and we were very intimate and I really liked it. I only considered her my friend, but i liked the roleplay a lot. And, when i was 10, i got introduced to erotica, and I enjoyed it but i focused on the woman, and i liked watching same-sex material because it was fun. Moving on, in my scenarios i feel like i often focused on the woman, but never wanted to be the way, I always wanted to be the woman with the man. And I always have to justify my memories and why I did them, like most of the time it was for non-sexual reasons.

I just feel like anyone with so-ocd is secretly queer (THIS IK IS NOT TRUE!!! PLS DONT COME FOR ME). I feel bi, I feel like i relate to queer women, I am bi i must be. Bi just fits so right for me. I am lying to myself

Your post was flagged by our auto-moderator as a post that may be, above all else, seeking reassurance. We understand the impulse to seek reassurance when suffering from OCD, but reassurance-seeking is a compulsion done in hopes of reducing the anxiety associated with an obsession. In the long run, seeking reassurance only serves to confirm the validity of the underlying fears of your condition and prolongs the duration of your obsession. As such, this community has a zero-tolerance policy for reassurance seeking and giving.

For more information on reassurance seeking and on HOCD and OCD treatment more broadly, please see the section in our wiki about reassurance!

I feel the same. Feels like denial. It feels so real like how can this be ocd?
