Hey Ifddel,

I have suffered from HOCD myself, and have been diagnosed with OCD, etc.

I know that it's stressful, but no matter what OCD theme you are dealing with you need to look at the cycle.

First, intrusive thoughts:

-about liking women

These in turn affect your feelings:
- You feel anxious
- You feel sick, etc

And this is the part which keeps the OCD cycle going (behaviours):
- You are 'checking' to see if you are attracted to women each time you see one, or look up images online.

- You maybe try to get 'rid' of these butterflies and emotions that arise.

- The reassurance you get is only temporary, and pushing away the feelings doesn't work; and then the cycle repeats itself.



You need to learn to tolerate your thoughts and feelings about being bi, and not interact with them (work them out, etc).

Overtime the intrusive thoughts and feelings will subside.
