Yes, for years my head keeps telling me i'm a lesbian.....but I'm married with four kids. I've come to the conclusion I'm probably bi or it's the illness talking again.

I so know what you mean. It is aweful. I've had this obsession along with the obsession I am bipolar and schizo for 19 years now !!!!

Yeah, i can relate. It's hard about that, and depending on the severeness of your disorder, it might just be that, but you should watch it and see if there's any truth in it.

I've been with other women and I don't feel like it's something I am missing out on for sure.. I think there is a certain amount of attractiveness in a woman but I think that is really it. However these thoughts can be haunting at time.. and they irritate me!!!

Yes, the sheep in the neighborhood have been looking kind of nice lately.

I am so glad you posted this. If you look at my page you will see that this is my exact problem. I fear I am a lesbian. But I know I don't want to be. Doesn't that make us straight!

Well, i'm bisexual and that is one of my main obsessions...You need to look deeper into yourself and figure out if you might have attraction to the same sex, or you are prejudice about it to protect yourself from your truth........

My obsessive thoughts generally aren't sexual in nature, but I do have obsessive thoughts. It can be anything - usually I will get a thought in my head about something I want or need to do, like cleaning is a big one, and I will obsess about doing it till I am able to do it. I also obsess about situations, like issues with my fiance or roomate, or job. If something upsets me, not matter how major or minor, I will think about it constantly until I have finally worn myself out.

Yes. Sadly, I do :(

My obsessive thoughts about things in general can be really distracting. I imagine myself doing all kinds of things that I would never want to do, and then I fear that I might lose control of myself and suddenly do something awful.

Yes defenitely. I have had SOOO many thoughts about it, it is unbelievable. I right now believe I am bisexual, and I don't believe it is becuz of my OCD. But I constantly worry about whether I'm actually gay, or if it's a phase and I'm actually straight. And, sometimes, I look at kids who are younger than me and think "Wow, thats a cute kid." And then I start worrying that I might be a pedophile. I defenitely know what you mean, I have so many obsessive thoughts like this.

I am wondering if any of the newer members struggle with this?

never talk about my sexuality becasue Im still trying to figure it out really but I def obsess about it. I dont like to but it happens.

I posted this on someone elses topic the other day...it can relate to your topic too:

"this is the OCD honey...You get one bad thought in your head....and it turns and it turns and it turns. I had the same thoughts...Things that I saw on TV I would question myself ( deppresive moms killing their kids, used to see horrible visions with my thoughts, Molestation, Lesbianism, anything, Being satans child would go through ny head)I learned to tell myself that it was the OCD, NOT me! Honey you will not do this. Please don't get down on yourself. You are not a freak"

We can relate with eachother on so many things.you are not alone.

It bugs the hell out of me.. Sometimes it comes and goes but when it's there it can be very painful!

This is a very common thought among "our" group. It seems that OCD takes hold of "odd" thoguhts the most. i.e. in my case, suicide, leaving home, gay activity... These are the things that roll around, over and over... It is OCD. Just talk it out and when it comes into the light, you start to see that it is just thoughts... I think...
