Hey Leahmay,
Sorry to hear that you're going through this, it must be incredibly overwhelming feeling that these thoughts are ruining your life. It can definitely be really scary to think about our identities and sharing this with other people, is there anyone in your life that you trust that you would feel comfortable to talk to about how you're feeling?
I understand that being gay might seem really scary and I really feel for what you're going through 
Do you want to chat a bit more about what's been happening?
As an LGBTQIA+ person myself, I want to assure you that its ok to be whoever you are and to want to experience love. We're all here to support you
Yes ofc! The thing is, is that i know i’m not gay whatsoever but the “fear of being gay” is somewhat gone but i’m obsessing about being in “denial” even tho i’m not and i know for sure i’m not gay at all. I’ve always wanted to be with a guy marry him and have kids with him. Never questioned my sexuality never had the desires to be with a woman also haven’t been sexually aroused by a woman nor had romantic feelings. oh and yes im currently comfortable talking to my bestfriend about this! (:
well done for reaching out, i am also part of the LBTGI+ community though im still 'in the closet' so to speak except for on here.
A service i have found quite helpful is called Qlife. have you heard of this service before? they have lots of information and also a webchat helpline as well (you can opt to be totally anyonymous as well). ill add the website here for you just in case for you

perhaps Headspace or Kidshelpline would be good to talk to, they have phone and also webchat as well. Kidshelpline is usually not much of a wait at this time of the night. do you think youd be willing to talk to a counsellor?
