Dear alesha:

“I have suffered with anxiety and ptsd most of my life, and I have never thought of a girl in this way before”– your decade or so of anxiety (being that you are now 15) is currently expressing itself (about 4 weeks, so far) in the form that is commonly known as HOCD, standing for: Homosexual Obsessive Compulsive Behavior.

The problem is not your sexual orientation (homosexual, bisexual or heterosexual). The problem is your anxiety.

On the date of your last period, lots of hormones, so it seems, were produced by your glands, rushing through your blood, and  intensely increasing your sexual feelings, so much so, that you got attracted to.. everyone (“I started to find everyone attractive, absolutely everyone“).

Our bodies ourselves. org, reads: “Estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone are hormones that affect a woman’s sexual desire and functioning. When it comes to sexual desire, the most influential hormone is testosterone. Though it’s often considered a male hormone, testosterone — like estrogen– is present in both men and women, though the proportions differ between the sexes. In women, testosterone is produced through the operation of the adrenals glands — two small glands near the kidneys — and the ovaries”

So, what I guess happened is that around Sept 26, your adrenal glands and ovaries produced a lot of testosterone that led you to get sexually stimulated by .. just about everyone. I think that it’s quite known that the more testosterone runs through a person’s blood, the less selective the person is as to who and what he/ she is sexually attracted to.

You mentioned that you suffer from PTSD. Do you want to tell me a bit about it?
