A strange fear has popped in my mind few months ago and it is causing me a lot of stress.
Few months back I had a dream where i was making out to a woman and suddenly she turned into a guy. i was totally freaked out.
since then i am having this strange fear of how i might be turning gay or something. i tried evaluating myself and i am totally straight. never had any gay feelings or anything of that sort before this.
somehow i cant let it shake off. i read on the internet that sexual orientation is determined at birth and cant change. but i am still scared ****. the more i try to forget it the more it keeps coming back
i read online about how not to fight those fears, face them etc. but its too difficult to let a scenario like this play in my mind. my mind has gone into checking and rechecking that i m straight during the day. sometimes gay thoughts pop in my mind (maybe cuz i m not trying to think of them) and cause immense disgust (i feel like throwing up) and anxiety.
has anyone faced a similar fear before? how did u overcome it. i know its irrational but cant seem to shake it off. should i go see a doctor or something?? should i just relax?
constructive feedback only please
