It is a good sign that these thoughts are giving you less anxiety. It means that they are losing there power over you. Try not to engage them or analyze them and they will eventually be able to come and go like so many other random thoughts do.

Take it from someone who had thought of suicide because I had such horrible intrusive thoughts- this means your mind is letting it go. I dealt with intrusive thoughts for a good 2 years. I got on the right medication and they stopped. I'm not saying you need to be on medication but that's what worked for me.

So you are becoming bisexual or just realizing now you always were?

You cannot change sexuality. You're repressing it and that's why you are getting anxiety and stress

It might just be their OCD causing these feelings

I would say the OCD is causing the thoughts. If you have never felt fat before now I doubt you are gay. OCD tricks our mind into thinking we are things we are not. The mind plays tricks on you. Might want to see a good counselor and don’t try to think it out by yourself.

I wonder if there is such a thing as a thought which is partially intrusive and partially genuine. (Of course most, if not all, "OCD thoughts" contain some real basis but it may be tiny, like 1% or less). Maybe some intrusive thoughts contain a bit higher realistic amount and yet we over-react. I guess a therapist might help with this.
