I've had a few encounters with this so called OCD; I was convinced I had contracted HIV (through a condom), had a brain tumor, was becoming stupid from all the alcohol at parties, would lose energy and become depressed whenever I had sex, I'd lose my muscular build in 2 days, had a worm in my stomach, was bipolar, schizophrenic, the whole shabam!
I've always been a latebloomer, so to speak. Everything, from walking, talking, getting with girls and puberty, I was always a little behind. Now as long as I can remember, I've loved girls, girls and girls. Everything about them (except how hard I found the whole texting game) I loved. I've fallen in love over and over, have been dumped by the girls I loved too much, and dumped the girls who loved me too much. That's also why I've never been in a long relationship.The last time I really fell in love was right before I became 19, but as I said, the girl ditched me.
Since then, I'd lost interest in hitting on chicks just about anywhere, untill I met this one girl. She was taken however, and half a year later I've been granted my wish (which it was then) and have gotten to be with her for over the last 2 months. We have a great time together, we have good sex etc. She loves me A LOT by the way etc.
The thing is, since the last 6 months, I've had the delusional idea of becoming attracted to men. This thing, which is always in my mind, is destroying my whole image of the girl. When I'm with her, I look at men, find them good looking, think about chilling with my friends and I don't feel the NEED to have sex with her. When I'm with her I wonder if it's love i feel for her, and if I don't just see her as a good friend (which I know I don't), if it isn't gay what I'm talking about, if I don't act gay etc etc. I've recently become aware of HOCD and what it means, but the attraction just starts to feel so real. I find nearly every guy good looking, stare at them, complement them in my head (when I see a guy, a thought just pops up, like nice tan, nice body etc). I get nervous anytime a dude is closeby, sort of like you would react when you're talking to a hot chick, feel NO attraction to women at all, unless I'm in a real relaxed mood in which I'm crazy over them again.
Everytime my girl is away for too long, I always realise how I love her, almost everytime I have sex with her it's great, but whenever I have too much on my mind, I always wonder off to the HOCD. Start staring at men, thinking I'm gay, feeling nervous, attracted etc.
Now, my problem is, I want NO sexual or relational contact with men, none at all! None! My problem, I don't even really know, I'm scared I'm becoming gay. It's irrational I know. And I always remember to count my blessings, though this fear is paralyzing, terrible, disgusting. Gays look at me, I look at them, we get eye contact and that's really it. Though lately I've been getting random hardons when even CHATTING with my friends, with who i clearly don't want any sexual contact with. Though when I'm with them, I see how good they look, and an image of me kissing them comes up. I don't WANT it, it just happens. I have a gay teacher and one time when he came up, I smelled his odor and thought it was a good one. Then I got some good feeling. Then panic! Then I start looking at him, liking him, looking at other guys, liking them, panic. I dream about my own girl, get sick when I see two guys kissing, and I know its not rational to think I'm gay, but I just do! My subconcious even tells me messages; dreams that I stop and pause to talk to a girl, hit on her, I dream gays send me messages and I refuse them, in other words, my consciousness knows the truth!
As I re-read what I just wrote, I even SEE the OCD kicking in; whenever I try to describe what my problem just really is, I just block, don't know. The only thing that comes to mind are: I don't want to be gay! But I look at guys! Oh $#%^! I like them! They look good! Girls do too, but I don't feel anything with them! What's up!?
Funny thing is, I almost perfectly know and understand that it's not what I fear it is. Whenever I'm drunk I lose the will to think about it, love girls, hitting on them etc. Whenever I sober up, I start wondering again! Thinking! If I like this!? I know I just need to man up, clean up my act.
I'm pretty sure I'm not gay, though I often fear, fear, fear the thought of becoming it, or rather always was, since I believe it's something one is born with.
I wrote this passage to prove to myself that it is indeed OCD with which is kicking me in the nuts. I started out wrighting calmly, and ending up panicky, confused and braindead. I JUST want to ask you, what do YOU think!?
