HOCD; AM I GAY OR STRAIGHT?

24, 2014— -- Steven Brodsky, a psychologist who specializ obssive-pulsive disorr, says that at any one time he has a "handful" of clients who are straight and spect that they are gay. J., said he had one adult patient who was so crippled by obssive thoughts about beg gay that he was unable to live penntly and had to move back wh his parents to pe. Brodsky said a prev therapist had misdiagnosed his patient as gay, and at the patient's requt, sent him off to reparative therapy, a ntroversial method that has not been proven to be effective and n be harmful.

"Brodsky argu that today's open acceptance of homosexualy and gay liftyl n bld therapists to this kd of anxiety disorr straight men. Jack Drcher, a noted New York Cy psychiatrist who is nsired an expert gay and lbian mental health and treats patients for OCD, agreed that "beg worried that one might be gay is not the same thg as beg gay.

""A person wh OCD who has is havg tsive thoughts about whether or not he is gay, is not gay, the sense that he has not rporated a homosexual orientatn any mimally affirmg way to his inty, " said Drcher. "Also, if he is not actually attracted to people of the same sex, do not masturbate to fantasi of people of the same sex, is not really aroed by same sex pornography, then is hard to make the se that he has a homosexual orientatn.

But there is a the DIFFERENCE between HOCD and people who are TRULY GAY or BI:Contrary to people who suffer om HOCD, "tly gay or bi" people aren't AFRAID of , don't have INTRUSIVE THOUGHTS about , agonize over for hours and hours, get prsed about , or feel like "they're losg their md".

YOU’RE NOT GAY: HOMOSEXUALY ANXIETY OCD

This is, people who are TRULY GAY or BI are more worried about OTHER PEOPLE'S REACTIONS to , e they LIKE , WANT , and FANTASIZE about , and fear beg REJECTED or CRITICIZED by others. It is part of "who they are" and somethg they realizatn was nfirmed when readg people's posts about beg gay or bisexual. I qutned for awhile before I stopped nyg , and do sometim feel like torture before you accept that beg gay is alright.

Usually by the time someone is an adult at the latt, they realize that they are much more to the same genr sexually if they are gay. They ually try to thk of possibili that the attractns aren't really te, or maybe they are jt a HOCD, ually the thoughts e after much time of beg heterosexual, and beg to qutn what would be like if they were gay, then the OCD someone is gay, they ually will never have had sexual attractn to the oppose sex. For me, I thought for awhile that I simply uld have been asexual, simply bee I never was attracted to women, but I didn't really fd all that many men attractive and f a lot of stereotyp to nclu that I was gay.

My feelgs about beg wh the same sex were actually "the plete oppose" (ma me sick) and somethg "I didn't want", and that's why bothered me so what I was tryg to say is that if someone is "tly gay" then they will "enjoy the thoughts" and "want a relatnship wh the same sex", but will fear the "nsequenc" of those feelgs such as rejectn om others.. I've been aaid of beg gay sce I was a teenager, but started wh ments om iends and fay that ma me feel like they were "accg me of beg gay. How do you know if those thoughts your head that you nnot tell anyone about mean that you really are gay or has somethg happened to your mental health?
