HOCD ?

I feel like I have HOCD but i can't tell for sure & it scares me. I really feel like I do have it, but in the back of my mind it's telling me I'm making it up & i actually am just a lesbian. I'm 16 and I've always been straight. there was a time when i was younger i asked if i was a lesbian cause i didn't know, but i've always liked boys. i had this issue a few years ago, it lasted awhile but not this long.. im just really scared cause i don't want to be a lesbian. I have no problems with LBGT community, in fact i support it 100%. it's just im not a lesbian, (atleast i don't believe so) im sick & tired of thinking that I'm lying to myself about it. I'll talk about it to some close people I trust and i sound so silly. I'm so serious when i talk about it,  I just need to know for sure. someone please help?

there are departments of psychiatry in every hospital, you can enquire in nearest hospital or you can search on internet for psychiatrist available in your town/city

thank you so much for that conformation, it makes me feel a lot better to know that. I don't know who to go to for the professional help or how to find a psychiatrist/psychologist. Do you have any suggestions

yes its hocd,normally people wont understand because the person who has felt the pain of ocd can only understand it. And for your case things wont get easier for you until you get professional help,psychiatrist can provide you medication for ocd and you should also seek cognitive behavior therapy from a psychologist
