Not quite HOCD, but...

Postby Wai xingren » Mon Nov 07, 2011 7:43 am

First off, I'm pretty sure I'm bisexual, and here is where the problem lies. Lately, there have been periods where I am simply not attracted to anyone of a certain gender, and it makes me start to wonder about my preference(s), if I'm actually bisexual or just curious and really gay / straight, or lying to myself, or simply going through a phase, or pretending to be bi because I can't handle being gay or if it's all HOCD (BOCD?), etc. I know this sounds stupid, but if I spent all of that time coming to terms with my sexuality only to have it all be a fluke, I'd honestly be a little miffed. Is this common, or at the very least, has anyone else here experienced this?

Hi there, the exact same thing happened to me I even came out I thought I was a lesbian and accepted it came out to everyone and my attraction for men came back!! I was actually a little disappointed as I thought I'd found the answer to everything! The only problem was I had no desire to be intimate with another woman! This is HOCD.... I think you need to evaluate what's going on in your life right now... Any stress?? Are u suffering with depression? As that makes everything numb?

I'm also a bipolar aspie, if it changes anything. Lately my mood's been going up and down, I don't know if that has anything to do with it.
