Anxious, Depressed and obsessive thoughts.

Mental health

Hey guys, I just want to say sorry for how confusing I was, I really didnt know how to word it.

Anxiety and Depression has always run through my whole family on my mothers side and when i was 14 i was diagnosed with Anxiety and had so  much support from many doctors, meds and i also got sent to a school for teens with similar conditions.

I'm now 18 turning 19 in October, I was doing fine up until in April my sister had a serious accident and i had to quit my job to look after her, which i still do, however i have so much more free time now my feelings and thoughts are taking over my life it feels like. I sit in my room at night and just cry so much and just feel worthless, cold and a lost cause. 

Also my obsessive thoughts are just taking over me as well as my feelings which i stated, a few months ago i was obsessed with thinking i had HIV and even convinced myself i had the symptons however i got tested and that thought was put to rest, then it was being pregnant which shortly got put to rest as well and now its about my sexuality - I have always crushed and fancied and only been with men however now head is constantly trying to get me to question it when I know i'm not and dont want to be but its really effecting me. I have no problems with anyone who is by the way.

I just really do not know what to do anymore and don't know how to tell my family either, I would like to know if anyone is having a similar problem and how can i fix this.

Hey Meg

Do you have OCD? Google search OCD sexuality. They question their sexuality too it's obsessive.

Or your Anxiety. It can make us over think about any single thing. You're not a lesbian. It's normal nowadays to think about our sexuality when its everywhere. Now, how did you know you liked guys? You always knew that's why you dated them. You're straight. Don't think too much about it. You're fine.👍You said you already know you're not. So don't worry about it.🙌

Sounds like you're feeling down because you quit your job to take care of your sister. Now that you have free time. You were busy so everything was well. Now your mind is taking over. Ignore the thoughts. Keep yourself busy so you don't think about it. Don't tell your family. There's nothing to tell you're straight. Unless you want their guidance then go ahead. 👍

I question everything and worry too. It's the Anxiety. It makes us think over and over about certain things. You'll be okay. Distract yourself.
