I have no idea how to use this forum or am I in the right place. And also I need to apologize any grammar errors or misspellings because English is not my native language. I really need help and I´ve read this website a lot during my anxiety. This story will be sooo long but hopefully some of you guys can help me out.
I´m a 17 year old girl. I´ve dated my boyfriend almost one year. He is an awesome boyfriend, kind, caring, he loves me and he is everything I´ve always dreamed of. I started to have doubting thoughts about our relationship and my feelings for him last Christmas. Psychologist diagnosed me rOCD and depression in May 2016 when I finally sought help. Last semester was really stressful to me because of school stuff but now I am on summer holiday. I thought the OCD thoughts would disappear when I wouldn´t have so much things going on at the same time but no, they went worse than ever. I´ve told my boyfriend about my ocd thoughts and he is really supportive and understanding. My rocd thoughts usually concentrate the fear of losing him. I would not imagine my life without him and thinking about that gives me anxiety and stomachache.
I´ve gotten better at handling those rocd thoughts but now I have a fear of being lesbian. I´ve always been sexually interested in women in fantasy but never in the real life. I can easily get aroused by seeing photos or other video material of sexy women. When I was younger I never masturbated to the thought of men, only to a man and a woman together or a woman. I´m still a virgin but me and my bf have some kind of sex life. I feel like I´m not even interested of sex in general right now, I don´t know is it the anxiety or am I with the wrong person or even with the wrong sex?! What if women are better match for me? I think my bf is little frustrated to our sex life but I can´t help it. I just don´t feel it when I have these anxiety thoughts going on. When my mind is clear and I feel free I get easily turned on by him. Sometimes I doubt my whole attraction to him.
I´ve never imagined being in a relationship with a girl until now. I think I might be bisexual and my boyfriend is ok with it. So am I, but the fear of being lesbian instead freaks me out. I don´t want to be a lesbian, I´ve never been homophobic but being lesbian means that I won´t be able to be with my boyfriend. I won´t allow myself to be lesbian because it only means I have to break up with my boyfriend and I don’t want to break his heart, neither mine.
I don´t remember any crushes on girls when I was younger. I´ve always have had crushes on boys and some of them have been really strong. I´ve always seen my future with a man but now I´m doubting it, is it only the standard what I have in my head? The more I think about being with a girl, the more I get used to the thought and accept it. It scares me, does that mean I´m lesbian if I can imagine myself a dream girl? I still don´t see my future with another woman but what if I suddenly change my mind? Also being in public gives me anxiety because I obsessively check out other women and analyze my reaction to them. Right now guys don´t interest me at all, I don´t know about my bf because I haven’t seen him for a week. Honestly I´m so scared of being gay!!! I know I should not check out other people while being in a relationship but I have to prove that my fears are false but that is not working either.
Also I have to add that being with my female friends gives me a lot of anxiety because I´m not able to stop thinking whether I´m sexually/emotionally interested in them and how it would feel to be in a relationship with them. I´ve kissed one of my closest friend drunk and I really liked it. After that I´ve felt a little sexual attraction towards her and she identify herself as straight.
I´m really sorry if this text is hard to read or understand, my head is a mess right now and I don´t know what to do. Hopefully breaking up with my boyfriend is not an answer. Do you think I´m lesbian? Please help me!
