I don't really know how to explain this because I'm currently super anxious and not sure what I'm feeling, but yeah. I've been having this weird thought of "what if I'm gay?" and I just get super uncomfortable when I look at any other man. I don't feel aroused by anything anymore and I just feel empty.
I started reading about HOCD and that relieved my anxiety for a while, making me feel better. But as time has gone I just start questioning that. Like, I'll say to myself that I've never been attracted to a man and that it is just HOCD, at which point my brain is just sort of like "But are you really?" and then my anxiety spikes again and I freak out. And I just don't know which side of me to believe because oftentimes the anxiety and everything just makes the other side seem so much more convincing. I dunno what to do. I don't know what to think.
Can someone help me shed some light on this?

I don't know how far your OCD is but the more you reassure yourself the harder it gets. I posted a guide on ERP therapy. It's the only way to get rid of the OCD unfortunately. The longer you pull off the OCD the harder it will be to cure, do it now so you don't have to a year from now when you're on the brink of a mental collapse. The therapy can take about 12 weeks to be fully cured.
