Okay, I've no idea in which forum this should be posted in + felt uninspired in regards to the title, but I just want to get this out of my system. After coming out of denial, did anyone else feel like 'okay, I've acknowledged it, now it will pass'? Like you won't like people of the same sex anymore and you'll fall in love with someone of the opposite sex? Is this normal?
I didn't, but I doubt that its rare. This might be the bargaining stage. You'll learn to accept yourself eventually.
I'm kind of like 'everything is normal'. Seriously, you shouldn't worry about it. Whatever happens, happens. If you went back to liking girls, it'd be okay just as it is the way you are now.
So youre not gay anymore?Even you turned straight again,you are the same person so dont worry People who love you will still be with you,youre not different because of your sexual orientation.
I felt that way the day I came out to my parents. I couldn't think of anything gay that day and I was beginning to wonder if I might just have turned straight. Was funny in retrospective. I watched gay porn that night, and it removed all doubt; I was definitively gay.
I have found that the decision to accept being gay confirmed and clarified my already existing attitudes towards the sexes. I now understand my feelings better toward either sex and I am behaving more appropriately toward them as a consequence (which is what counts). Avoiding certain relationships is just as important as getting into others...
I've had that happened too when I first left Denial. Everything about love and relationships just made SO much more sense to me. That lasted about a few days, before I started having doubts and overthinking. I don't know. Everything is just overwhelming and confusing. And to top it off, I'm depressed. :/ Go, life! Awesome, life!
If you suspect clinical depression, you should seek counseling definitely...if it is the blues, or "situational" depression (i.e. being alone) I would still seek counseling, because you need a new perspective! The next step is an actual relationship...
Yeah, I'm considering it, cause I really just feel exhausted beyond limits. And the problem is, it comes and it goes, and when it goes it usually is because of something that makes me incredibly happy for a short period of time. And I'm not smart enough to know that it will just come back in a few hours/days, instead I think that I'm healed and everything is okay...
