I have never been attracted to guys but know i feel fear,weak when i see a picture of a half naked man or watches my back all time to see if a man is behind because i'm unconfortable to have a man behind me, give's me the creep...i just whant to finish my self, those thought come back stronger and i Don't know how to get theme away for good… and because of those thoughs, images and urges i can't ave my head fully in work...Always analysing my thoughs but i end often been depressed or really angry !...i though for a while am i gay or bi but it feels wrong, i feel REALLY attracted to girl but feel's Nothing for mens but the thought keeps saying that i am or in denial… please help me i can't take this anymore...I Always saw myself having a girlfriend, living together and having kid's and i still see that when i think of the futur, i can't see myself be gay or having activities with one but i keep having those scenario in my head of been with a man in bed and it's freaking me out and making me really mad…

I've been thinking about this. You know you're straight, and you have gay friends whose existence has never bothered you (in other words, you aren't bothered by the fact that there are gay people). So why the sudden extreme panic over some words by your girlfriend? Let's say for the sake of argument that you suddenly weren't sure if you were gay or bi or straight. Why would that cause you to panic so much that you are looking over your shoulder to see if a man is there, or considering suicide, when it never bothered you before that some people are gay? It's like you don't have homophobia if it's about someone else, but you do have extreme freak-out if someone thinks you might be gay? Is there someone in your life who would totally not approve?

I'm not saying you sound gay, people usually know whether they are attracted to men or women or both, and you sounded like you did know. I'm saying you sound distraught about another's opinion and for some reason that is enough to rock your self-identity. What's that about? This is where I might start with a therapist or counselor. Not so much "Could I possibly be gay?" but more "Why is it taking me to pieces if someone said they think I might be gay?"

Kiory, that seems like a pretty excessive reaction to a remark from your girlfriend.

Can you see a therapist? It would probably help you sort out why you reacted so strongly that you would even consider suicide.
