Sexual Confusion Advice?

[anxietyman]

I'm getting kind of worried now.

looking through a majority of threads i've seen that most people did experimenting at a young age.

I'm seventeen;

been heartbroken by a girl (dated for a year)
never had a dad (brought up by mom)
suffering with depression, mood swings, panic attacks, anxiety.
just started a college (had the same sort of depression problem when I started secondary school).
and I was happy and content before I started college (with my girlfriend, no problems whatsoever)

I used to have an outstanding sex drive for women.
But recently it's sort of died out.
I still have a girlfriend though and we have regular sex, which kicks ass.

but
I'm kind of turned on by guys.
like subtle gay refrences sort of thing.
no emotional feelings towards them though.

I get on good with both sexes.
I idolise a few guys.
and I'm closer to my friends more than my girlfriend.


I'm confused and worried.
I'm an analyst so I can figure most shit out.
but this seems impossible (is this what hormones do?)

I'm guessing this;
I have a hormone imbalance
I'm curious/bi
My brain is torturing me
This is a phase
I'll get over it soon enough.

I could probably cope with it better if I wasn't incredibly emotionally crippled.


I don't want to be gay either, I've grown up wanting to find the love of my life (being a girl).
nothing wrong with gay people also, just don't want to be one =P
so don't tell me to accept it.


thanks for any help.

I would say you (or at least, your subconcious mind) is bi-curious or bisexual. Do you just have attractions to the opposite sex, or would you actually consider having a relationship/sex with them?

If you're the former (just attracted, no serious feelings) then that's bi-curious (attracted mainly to one sex, but curiosity is leading to thoughts about the other).

If you're the latter (consider having a serious thing with them) then that's bisexual (attracted equally to both sexes, in terms of relationships and sexual feelings).

(I'm bi, so I kind of know what I'm talking about :))

Its normal to be ALOT closer to your friends than a girlfriend.

Sounds pretty normal. Adolescent curiosity doesnt completely go till round 22.
