Still feel anxiety and I don't know what to do anymore

Unread post by coffeebeans »

I know I not supposed to label myself right now. But know I'm feeling anxious and I need help??

I don't know what to to anymore. I'm just scared and I used to be excited when I was questioning my sexuality but I still feel anxiety and my tummy hurts.

I wish I could talk to someone about it but I can't because I don't think anyone would understand how I'm feeling right now. My parents will think I'm making a big deal over nothing and I don't know what else to do. I want to think about being in a relationship with the same sex without feeling anxiety.

Hi coffeebeans. I'm so sorry that you're currently feeling anxious. :( Just to be clear, what kind of help can we offer you to make you feel less anxious? Is there anything that prompted this feeling?

Know that we can't help with mental health issues, but we do have a list of resources that you can check out: Anxiety and Other Mental Health Resources

I want to enjoy f/f media again but I get anxious about it. And I try to attach myself to a character but I really don't feel like I have space to enjoy stuff anymore. I feel like I'm being watched. Never felt that way for anything else I watch but now I don't think I could enjoy it anymore.

And I used to think about being in a relationship with a woman and sure I was anxious it wasn't as bad as now and I still liked it.

I like pretending I'm a different gender or at least at little gender non conforming and it makes me feel better when I'm thinking about being in a relationship with someone. I don't think I feel comfortable anymore and I can't do anything about it.

Happy pride and sorry about that

Happy pride to you, coffeebeans.

How about we talk about what exactly you think you're feeling scared of? Where do you think this anxiety is coming from, and what do you think these fears are based in?
