Hey rcc I really think it would help. I first heard about Lucinda by reading her book. It was really really good. I have had GAD for about a year now. I started feeling it after my son was born. It got really bad at one point but the last month has been much better. This forum has really helped me alot. It seems many people have benefited from the program. Some days I get frustrated with anxiety and say to myself well if I am going to be anxious I might as well get out and do what I want today. I am anxious whether I am in the house or out. Might as well go out. That mentality has really helped me overcome a lot. I wish you the best. There are many people on here who know exzactly what you are going through.

I've seen a lot of peer suport in the replies I've read so far. I agree and disagree with what I've read. First off, if you tell yourself you are not gay but you can not imagine spending your life with a woman....You are in denial of being gay. If you can't keep your eyes off the man's butt...you could be sizing yourself up o you could be contemplating being gay. You should be asking yourself a few personal questions...such as, have you ever been sexually abused?, Have you ever kissed a man?, Or are you just considering options...Do you masterbate?, do you fantiseze about men and find yourself walking away?..........Today's world of choice is a strange one. I am considered a fobic to gay men and women...Yet I have experimented in my youth. I never realized how many of the kids I grew up with could say the same. I wouldn't say you are gay until you clearly understand all the rights you are giving up. (in some states you can have your children taken from you for the choice to stay with the same sex. As the same sex can not have children...you could be giving up your right to parent.) I personally have been batteling the ideas that the man I've spent five years of my life with and have two children to, may be bisexual. I have my own reasons for thinking this way. For yourself...you seem to only worry about the possibility. As it should be a concern for you to consider. But if you have no reason to want to be one specific way you probably won't be that way. If you give yourself reason, you will follow the leads you have instilled. For the most part, I believe most teenagers may think about the same sex at one point or another. Mostly as we discover our bodies. As you become an adult, we all have a good grasp of who we are. I would ask yoursef do you truly have a clear understanding of what being gay intails verses the simple idea of what does the aversge teen go through. I've had plenty of friends who were gay...and lost them to one disease or another. The truth of the matter is finding out who you are is a complicated process that takes time. (Time that goes by quickly) The signs of being gay are confused with the signs of being feminine in nature/tom boyish, and so on. Choose for yuourself and stick to your guns. Swapping back and forth is to dangerous. I don't judge so much as I consider my own children and myself worth and comfort level. I am fobic because I have been at the experiment level and I know from experience how it affected my thinking and how vonerable I was. I hope you choose theright life to fit you comfort level. Once you choose a life for yourself, you should see butt looking is natural to an extent. Sorry about the spelling. Have faith you can make a good decission.
