What's on my mind? Just confused. I enjoy talking to you guys and "Exploring" but it also freaks me out

Juts remember there is a lot more to being gay than sex ...so relax.

In time things will become clearer to you Bucky, try not to rush things and use this site to get some help and support if you can.

Think of it this way. If you are straight and you go on to a heterosexual oriented site solely to get aroused...most people are gonna shut you down as it is pretty much understood that there are adult sites for that...

Gay men are a lot more liberal and open in that regard and some will flirt or talk suggestively but others may not want to so you must always try to respect other people and not cross someone's boundaries. That is a learned skill...straight or gay or anything in between.

I'm depressed and I've gained weight over the last couple of weeks and all I can think of is stuffing my face with chocolate and ice cream.

That happened to me last Christmas and my trainer told me that if something on my car broke...do I want to run the rest of it in the ground and junk it...or do I just want to fix the radiator?

He also told me that people gain an average of 12 pounds during the holidays!!! YIKES!

Sleep apnea occurs when the airway is blocked and one is suffocating. The brain tells the body, "Hey, I'm suffocating!" and wakes it up. I have an underdeveloped jaw which completely shuts off my airway when I lie down. This is not the usual case of being overweight. I am actually very skinny. It's just my jaw and tongue completely close up my throat. My sleep studies revealed that I am waking up every TWO minutes; that is 240 times during an 8 hour period of "sleep". So basically I don't sleep at all. I am unable to work or do very mundane things because of my condition. I've had a couple of car accidents because I'm so sleepy all the time. Luckily, my doctor did not take away my license, but I basically only drive when I have to.

I'm having surgery in a year to correct this and be normal (having surgery is a major issue and lots of things are required beforehand, like braces). The success rate for this type of surgery is over 90%. It will completely cure me.

This is something purely physiological and, while I appreciate the thought, meditation cannot help.

I had no idea, obviously, and appreciate the detailed reply. I'm very sorry to hear you're having to deal with all that. I hope the surgery corrects the problem and you're finally able to live normally.
