Hi,
I appreciate your efforts for medical consultation at right time.
Important aspects of your query are:
• 32 years old unmarried male
• Complaints of : attraction towards male, excessive worry and lack of sleep
From your information that you are attracted towards male only and not towards female it appears that you may have your sexual orientation towards male (homosexuality). I know it may be very stressful for you to accept but it is only my interpretation from your query.
Homosexuality is not physical and psychological disorders because of this, laws are being change in all word gradually, to provide it legal status. It is just a sexual orientation.
Sexual orientation can be of three types:
• Heterosexuality: liking for opposite sex (which is also considered normal by society)
• Homosexuality: liking for same sex
• Bisexuality: comfortable with both sex
Prevalence of Homosexuality is around 2-4% and in some western countries it is more than 5%. Sexual orientation cannot be change and as this is not a disorder, so do not worry about its treatment. But it is commonly associated with anxiety, depression, adjustment disorder, self harm and isolation because of social complication.
In your case you already have excessive worry and sleep difficulty which indicates towards presence of anxiety. So stop accepting attraction towards male as a problem and accept yourself as you are naturally.
As you are planning to marry I would like you to consult from psychiatrist to make final diagnosis and for counselling in person. You may also need treatment of anxiety.
Final message to you: worry less, get psychiatrist consultation for counselling and treatment of anxiety.
Hope this answers your query. In case of any doubt, I will be available for follow ups.
Wishing you good health.
Regards,
