Hey Wiretwister,
Thank you for your reply and no need to be sorry at all. If anything I'm sorry if my reply came across as a rant, I really mean well, it's just anxiety can really make you feel like your losing your mind literally.
I have reached out to others experiencing anxiety and was able to link the root of my problems (through introspection) to my very long history with perfectionist thinking (the need to understand my behavior links back to a long history of always having answers to everything in life which connects to why it then leads to anxiety) and not actual confusion over my orientation. I usually get over whatever anxiety by doing research and this helps calm me down as I then combat an irrational thoughts with knowledge. I'm still battling a few things (combating through research) and this journey has been very painful but I'm starting to see the light and that's super positive.
Thank you again for responding and offering your support. Wishing you much peace.

have you ever had any insight into why or when this "overanalysing" began ... that must be a real burden to have to carry ...
hopefully I am a little closer this time ... and maybe someone a whole lot wiser than me will respond with helpful info ... but I am here if you want to talk futher ... or pm if you like ...
ps: I though I had read your post carefully but I guess I did not ... I suppose I just assumed too much ... I really am sorry to have added to your stress ... I deal with stress myself and would never willing do that to another ... and no I do not think you are rude ... but it is plain you are under a lot of stress .... wishing you peace also ... Tigger.
