help... feels like I am going insane.

Postby cahowe13 » Wed Apr 08, 2015 4:44 pm

So i have been researching my issues for a while now and decided I would make my own post. I have always had anxiety, but it increased tremendously when I got to college. I started having a large amount of relationship anxiety with my long term boyfriend. I started questioning my love for him and was worried that we would not make it. This has caused a lot of issues, because I doubt my own love. Next, I had gotten a haircut and my brother made the comment of saying It made me look like a lesbian. I laughed it off, but the next day I started worrying that I liked girls!! I was so disgusted that this thought was even coming up, given that I never liked girls my entire life. And the thoughts just dont end. My brother jokes around and says stuff like hey hun, or whatever and one day i took it to heart and worried that i like my brother. I tell myself that the thoughts were sporadic and that there is no signs to show that the thoughts are true, but yet I cant get the thoughts to go away. I feel like Im going insane, and if anyone hears what im thinking they will think i am crazy... I just dont know how one day i could wake up randomly and think i turned lesbian or that i like my own brother!!! so weird.. help???

It seems like you're easily suggestible. 8) I am too. You probably have high anxiety as well as high agreeableness with other people. In other words, high neuroticism and high agreeableness on the Big 5. Sometimes this is not a very good combination!

All I can really suggest is possibly talking to a mental health professional to help you strengthen your ability to trust your own judgment and perception and to lessen your anxiety.

Good luck.

Well, the part about brother is a bit weird, but at least you talk about that. However, talk with a therapist and tell him what you wrote here. That way you can get the best help.
