Your psychologist is bad bad bad!! Gays don't choose to be gay. Do not go to that doctor anymore. .... Listen to some relaxation music and practice relaxing to help your anxiety. Go to anxietycentre.com and look at the list of symptoms so you know when they come up, you'll know what they are and how to deal with them. Take a deep breath and relax!

Gay is not a disorder. So you can't medicate being gay. Just find a partner who loves you. Trust me, they're out there.

Hello,
I am SO VERY sorry you are going through this!

I started the herbal thing since the drugs the doctors were given me were of no good. Food, stress and pain management is helping my anxiety. I have seizures/migraines too which does not help with anxiety!

I sure hope someone gets on here from your country and give you some good advice!

ADD,
I thought your English is very good!!

I took effexor and it didn't help. Get off that medication before you are very addicted to it. I took it for 7 years and had a very hard time to quit because of withdrawal.

You're not alone. You don't chose to be gay. You don't have an illness. Learn more about others who are gay and how they live and you will feel less anxiety.

Read books. Read stories about gay people on the internet. Talk to other gay people on the internet. Learn about what other people went through when they found out they were gay.

There are lots of people who are gay. You don't need to be ashamed. If it's not acceptable where you live, think about going somewhere else. Find out on the Internet where gay people are accepted in Mexico.

The more you learn about WHO YOU ARE, the less anxiety you will feel. This is true whether a person is gay or not.

Exercises helps with anxiety because it makes you use up the extra adrenaline that creates the anxiety. Ativan works well from the medication side.

I am one to belive that you dont choose to be gay I belive that it all happens at the time of conseption. First you need to calm down, When you feel an anxiety attack comming on close your eyes and take deep breaths, it will pass. I also get anxiety attacks but the breathing helps. What also helps is to tell my self that everything is ok and will be ok.
Good luck

First let me say I am not gay. However I'm not a judgemental person. If a psychologist told you that gays choose to be gay then she needs to go back to school. Gays are born that way. I hope you're not paying her. What kinds of situations bring on the anxiety? You need to find out and then you will be better equipped to deal with it. Find out who you are and what you want out of life. Then go and do what you need to get it. Good Luck

I would get off the effexor and try a different medication, maybe an SSRI like lexapro. You could also try xanax or clonopin for and anxiety attacks. Get rid of your psychologist because she is judgmental and wrong. Gay people are born that way, they don't choose it. Find some support groups, I'm sure there are many online. Good luck.

Sorry to hear about your anxiety. I have it too. Mine happen after getting married again to my second husband. I was happy and one day it just started. I really don't know what causes it to happen. Sometimes it stress I think. I take Celexa and it doesn't help much other. I wish I had a answer for you all I know is I feel for you. My doctor said to learn more about anxiety on-line. I hope you find an answer. Remember you are not alone. I will pray for you and hope you find the answers you need. P.S Xanax can help with some of the symptoms.

There is a new alternative treatment that helps people reprogram their brains basically, to get rid of bad response systems they created long ago. Check it out, www.helenbair.com or look into metaphoric therapy. You need to solve the root of the problem, not just overmedicate yourself. I hope this helps!! This therapy is not long term or overly expensive..
PS, dont let bias people destroy you because you are gay. You're the way god made you.
