Man I'm just all messed up lately. I'm 22 years old and I keep thinking that I could be gay but here's the kicker, men don't even turn me on. How does that make sense? The doctor told me I was suffering from OCD/depression, but man, this has got a hold of me, no matter how much I try and shake it off. I was put on medication and I'm on my seventh day of taking it now but nothing seems to be helping. If I was gay then wouldn't men turn me on? Because they don't, but neither do women right now. Nothing turns me on, not even my fiance, which she used to be able to all the time. I'm just so confused and scared. I guess I'm just ranting. Anybody who wants to respond please do. Thanks.

I know a friend who went through the same phase. Maybe you're just a point where you don't HAVE to interested in anyone. Wait it out your body /heart will let you know when you are ready to take interest in stuff like that again. I suggest you stop stressing about it.
My friend did the same thing and she has since found out that she is not that interested in women, she actually likes men. She's kinda over it now.
I hope the same happens for you.

Try to give the medication more time to take effect. It will be slow and a subtle effect and even when it starts kicking in you may not even realize its helping at first. I would try to deal with the depression before you worry too much about the sexual question. Depression is a true killer of libido and since your so depressed you probably have no interest in either orientation right now. I hope you feel better soon and call your doctor if you get desperate:)

You got to give the medication time to work. I highly doubt that you are gay .If your not attracted to other men, then how do you go figure that you are?
Your also going to get married and that is wonderful. Just try and chill out and calm down. Your fine. You got your whole life ahead of you.

i think most people wonder if they are gay at some time or another. When i was in my teens and early twenties, i wondered if i was gay, even though I had never had a crush on a woman .. EVER! WHen i fancied men, it was rarely unlike my friends who would find someone cute every other day lol
sorry i dont know if this is helping you at all

When you're depressed, the sex drive zooms downward. Give any medication about two weeks to kick in. Get outside in fresh air and nature. If you still feel crummy after the medicine works, go back to the doctor. If you doubt his abilities, find another one.
