During psychosis I thought I was gay because I realized that I don’t care about women at all. Well I was wrong. While in hospital I started speaking in this very gay voice, it was kind of funny but a bit embarrassing in hindsight as that’s not something I would normally do.
Have you questioned your sexual orientation during psychosis?
Yes I came out and everything over Covid and I doubt it was the case, but who knows.
I think I am asexual to be honest, and there is little hope of a romantic prospect any time soon
Kinda accepted my life as it is, and each year that passes I become more entrenched in my life as things are. Not sure about that ever being allowed to change…
It’s just the way things worked out. But I am pretty content still, as I have gotten used to my own company over the years.
Being gay, straight or whatever is a moot point
Yes! I have. I was very confused.
I’ve had voices tell me “you’re gay” and similar stuff. I think it’s common among psychotics to experience exotic sexual thoughts, hallucinations or delusions.
I live with women and the provider gets angry if I have much interaction with her husband. So being emotional toward other women is coming on naturally and environmentally. I enjoy this and know better than to question it as being the sign of lesbianism.
I’m married 20 years and asexual. I still love cuddling, just not past that. We have a strong best friends bond though.
Edit: OMG I can’t believe I publicly posted that for the first time. Someone I PM with helped me get comfortable with the label recently.
(Please don’t judge me for being asexual and married…)
I have never admitted this, but I thought when I was delusional that the devil wanted to humiliate me by making me a gay porn star…I imagined there was this one guy I always was with in the porn…when Jesus came back, He told me it wasn’t true and that it was just my imagination.
I watched gay porn once when psychotic but it wasn’t exciting me so did nothing
I saw some horrible porn once where a guy was pretending to be a woman and it was really disturbing.
I’ve been trying to get that thought out of my head for a while now.
I determined that i am not gay but i can do anything with anyone.
In like 2021, I had a delusion that I was a lesbian. Didn’t make any sense cause I’m married to a man and I am very, very attracted to him. I am bi, though, but I’ve known that since I was 17. The lesbian delusion, though… Yeah, just weird. It passed once I got my meds fixed.
I had voices tell me I was gay once. I think it was my mind playing tricks. I would not be a good homosexual because it would be awful having to kiss or make out with another man. I also had voices tell me I was having a heart attack or had illness. I can appreciate when other men are buff but no don’t want to get jiggy.
Better run away from it before it explodes then
Idk man, people can have a delusion where they are an opposing orientation but they also just might BE that orientation, I’m sure both happens.
When you actively stop trying to pursue a partner, it kinda stops mattering.
Mmmmmwell maybe if it falls in my lap
That’s what happened with the job after all
Yes I always question sexual orientation when my voices tell me I am gay.
But I know I desire a heterosexual relationship but have gay and bisexual fantasies.
Putting all lust aside I prefer female personality’s.
Schizophrenia attacks your sense of self and yes I went through the whole gammit.
I’m horribly straight but the problem is that brain makes some strange connections when your not medicated for most. I struggled with it for a time for sure but I struggled with so many life things…it’s only natural your sexuality is a part of it all as it’s a big thing in our minds after you hit that puberty…which is when sz really does make it’s presence felt.
I’m so bisexual that it is pathetic. Emotionally that is. Sexually I am asexual. Meds have done that to me.
I am in an asexual, romantic, nineteen year long relationship with a woman right now. We are very happy together, finally. It’s been hard won.
I think i’d like that someday. With a woman tho and im a woman. I guess they call that an asexual lesbian. I wonder if taking antipsychotics since elementary have made me asexual tho.
How did u find a relationship like that. Seems like it would be very hard to find. I kinda wish i could but it feels like it would never happen for me.
