    Okey, I worry a lot about stuff. It gives me quite much anxiety to think about my bisexuality. Sorry if this post is a mess. I came out of the closet, roughly, as this androgynous person. For one, I worry how I'm going to survive work. I worry a lot about the future, the far future. Gendered dress code, that's what I'm talking about when talking about work. I also worry what happens if I fall in love with a lady. Of course, homophobia, family having issues with it, and in the end, wanting to have kids. I thought I would write more, but that's it. I thought I should start getting those fear out. Because it may as well happen that I will fall in love with a woman and then have my family accept it and have three children... And. I would be in a good, happy relationship too.

    I don't know if it's the right forum. Please move if it's not.

    I realise I have to start getting it out somehow. My first thread like this.

    Hi, Emerry:

    I'm having a lot of problems, too, sort of along these lines. I'm in the closet and constantly worrying. I have a lot of anxiety. I want to be myself and express myself the way I want to, but I'm always worried how other people will take it and whether they'll take it the wrong way. So I can sympathize. I'm lesbian / pansexual, with a preference for women, so I've really been asking myself a lot lately whether I want to make myself free to see and date women if I want to. I'm in a 10-year relationship with a man right now, and he doesn't know any of this. Quite troubling.

    Feel free to chat with me if you want. I think this site has private messaging? I'm new here. :slight_smile:
