Re: Depression, Anxiety, Loneliness and lack of Motivation

Andreas,

I have your ordered book recommended in this thread and am waiting for it's delivery, but there is a more urgent question I have regarding my particular situation.

The question I have is of a very personal and ditressing nature. There is another dimension to my situation. I keep doubting my sexuality. I am male and find women attractive but for some reason I keep thinking I may be gay. I don't find men attractive in a sexual way and I keep reassuring myself of this fact. Regardless, the question 'is this the cause of my depression/anxiety etc...' bubbles into my mind and causes untold distress.

I don't know why I get these thoughts, I think may be because:-

1. I have worked with many gay men and never felt any aggression or the revulsion towards them in the way my fellow male work colleagues have. Logically I think this is because I really don't care and have a relaxed attitude towards these things.

2. I saw a therapist back in my early twenties who just kept going on about it. I guess this made me very fearful and hyper sensitive.

Is this all just a manifestation of the depression and anxiety?
