ANXIETY

Hello,

My first time here. I am writing this because out of no where a question of "am I a lesbian" popped into my head. I am 25 and never thought of women in any sexual manor. Never wanted to sleep with a women or be with one romantically but that thought keeps popping into my head. I've had one boyfriend and kissed other guys and never questioned it and enjoyed it. Idk why that question keeps coming into my head when I have never questioned my sexual identity before. But my anxiety is scaring me and it scares me that I'm telling myself that it's true. Any suggestions or help would be great

Esca123, I think it's a matter of curiosity that is allowing the thought to keep popping in your head. It wouldn't be a tragedy if it did turn out to be true. You might want to talk it over with a therapist if it continues. Sounds like you need some answers one way or the other. Wishing you well.

I definitely feel like my mind is kind of going crazy and it's weighing me down.

I think it's just anxiety trying any way it can to scare us. Just another What If ? I knew a women who after she had her first child she starting having these thoughts What if I harm my child? Of course she never did but the intrusive thought scared the crap out of her. I have read that that one is pretty common too. I used to have thoughts when I was driving What If I run my car off the road into a tree ? Of course I never did. These are all thoughts brought on by anxiety doing any and everything it can to scare you. Just another What If ? Try to just blow them off. And then again maybe I'm totally wrong.
