okay, so i have been driving myself crazy for the past few months, i don't know if i am a lesbian, or have hocd symptoms, i have had ocd symptoms since childhood. but this is affecting my every day life, i can't think straight, i can't be around the people of my own gender bec i get too anxious. and the worst part is that that's all i think about, it has consumed my life, i have researched alot about hocd, and a part of me believes that i do have that, but then no where in the discussions about this disorder have i heard about feeling sexual, it all talks about being in your head, but when i am around girls, at first i have the thought which brings immense anxiety and then i actually feel very turned on, so if my mind is playing tricks on me, how can my body play a trick on me, i have talked to my family about this and they say that since that's all i think about, my body and my hormones are bound to react, a part of me agrees with them, and then there is part that says that what if i am a lesbian or bi, since i get turned on. i am 25, but never been with anyone partly due to my cultural background and partly bec i always wanted to be independant. Growing up i never thought i was lesbian/or bi, but i always had the fear. All my crushes have been guys, but now i am just really confused and quite frankly exhausted of thinking, so my question is
Is it normal to get turned on when you are having the HOCD thoughts.
