Coming out from the closet !

[Sushi2345]

I came out a few months ago on Facebook being bisexual and it was the biggest mistake in my life. OCD is the devil really and It’s been taking over my life . My therapist told it was just a compulsion and i didn’t believe him at first but after he was right .But I need some answers here because it’s killing me . Since I been out I literally been having these physical symptoms such as , Dizziness, chest hurts , stomach aching and extreme fatigue .

Can Anybody explain these symptoms? So I can understand this puzzle and heal myself . 🙏🙏🙏

Thanks 😔

Hi there.

I think you may be experiencing panic attacks about coming out.

My son is bi, but he is comfortable with it, because I accept that there is no One size fits all with one's sexuality.

If you are scared how folk will accept you it is understandable at first, but it should get easier.

Cheers, Midori

Hello. When you say that your therapist said “it was just a compulsion,” do you mean that coming out on Facebook was the compulsion?

That was a big step in letting people know. It certainly gets easier in time as you become more comfortable with your sexuality. Hopefully something positive comes out of it.

Hi!

Just to clarify, which aspect of this have you concluded was OCD? Was it the thought of being bisexual that was OCD, or was the ocd aspect the publicizing the fact that you’re bisexual? (As to explaining the symptoms, they sound like pretty normal manifestations of extreme angst and anxiety.)

Your symptoms could be caused from anxiety, maybe wondering what your life may be like now since you had come out. Of course I don't know what you're thinking, but your symptoms COULD be from worry.

For myself, when I realized I was gay, I had felt a whole world open up. I had felt like a new person, excited to start my new life. For me, that involved a lot of anticipation. Even though I was okay w/ my sexuality, I still had to figure out this new life I had happily found. And I had some of the same symptoms as you, BC I was nervous about what was to come. Nothing bad happened, it was all anxiety.

Don't let anything stop you from enjoying your life.

I hope you feel better!

Step 1, I'd quit Facebook, to be honest. Better to use a pseudonym online, in my opinion.

Face book is toxic. Delete it. You won't miss it and you'll be so much less stressed. My therapist said no one with an anxiety disorder should be on Facebook. Meet and talk to people face-to-face or on the phone.
