Dear fg:

You shared that (1) you were diagnosed with anxiety, (2) you are tormented by questioning whether you love your boyfriend or not (“my brain started to torment me saying that ‘I probably didn’t love my bf anymore'”), (3) you are tormented by questioning your sexual orientation (“my brain started to torment me saying that.. Maybe I do like girls now”-

– such tormenting thoughts, if repetitive, are very common in the minds of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) sufferers, so much so that two acronyms were created so to name these two groups of obsessions: ROCD, standing for Relationship OCD regarding (2), and HOCD, standing for Homosexual OCD regarding (3).

Anxiety fuels OCD. Did you ever suspect that you suffer from OCD?
