So I have always had girlfriends my entire life, until I became depressed and even a little psychotic my junior year of highschool, I lost all interest in my girlfriend, a smokeshow at the time, and started turning to drinking and marijuana to ease my pain. I later found out I had bi-polar disorder and have been put on medications. Since diagnosis I have never felt the same towards girls and just recently have been put on a new med that is helping me feel better, but for the first time I am starting to be more attracted to men than woman and it is frightening since everyone I know and kind of how I know myself has always been straight, anyway do these things pass or change? I am also out of work right now and kind of directionless and have been having questions about identity for a year or so. Any suggestions or comments?
I would say that the only way for you to truly know is to experiment with men. If you enjoy the sexual part and feel attracted to the guy, then I would say that you might not be 100% straight. But the only way to truly know is by actually doing something with another male. Hope this helps.
Thanks, It's kind of scary though, I don't have any gay friends and I wouldn't even know where to start.
Hi Kyle, welcome to EC. What is your age? I ask not to be nibby, rather I want my suggestions to be appropriate... hope that's ok.
