I know how you feel, I'm going through the same thing and it's so scary because it feels so real. I find myself doubting everything and thinking about every little detail, questioning my childhood and whether I've somehow 'known all along' even though I know it's not true. Exposing myself to the things that scare me has helped me so much and any time I think a thought I agree with it, however much I want to argue with it and little by little the thought becomes less scary and I'm able to move on.

Ocd is all about the fear of the unknown, and in order to overcome it, you have to embrace the fact that it could be true. I know it's scary and reading that probably brought up a lot of anxiety but until you embrace the fact that you simply don't know, you won't detach it from your fear.

I've read something online after a long time of feeling completely fine, I've read that some bi people hate their same sex attraction and wish they were straight, how do we know we're not them and we're just using ocd as an excuse not to be bi. I know I've always been straight never questioned it but apparently some bi people been straight too, it's iust really scary

It appears your ocd is still taking you under its control , that's why you are falling again in the vicious cycle of irrational questions.

You know the answer of this question ,you just need reassurance, but it will not solve the problem.It will only make it worse. Until your situation become fully stable these questions will keep on hitting you, but you have to learn how to ignore them.If you start thinking about these irrational questions you will never get any answer.
