Recently I have finally came out to myself and now my husband and a few of my close friends. My husband is still adjusting. I am still scared feeling and uneasy. I am scared to tell my parents but I feel like my sanity depends on it. I have struggled deeply with depression and anxiety and am diagnosed with bipolar disorder. I don't have any support network that really understands what I am going through. I feel like I just need support.
Every thing well be fine. Don't worry. Just say it and get it over with it with your Mother and father You're your own person now it's ok, it's not like you're trapped in their household. ^-^
No but I come from a crazy religious family. The reason it took me so long to realize it for myself was because I was taught my whole life that it was wrong and bad. I just hope they accept me. My mom is coming this weekend. So badly I want to tell her. My husband doesn't think that I should.
Congrats! I promise things will get better for you from here, coming out did a lot of good things in the end for me.
This is exactly how I feel. I'm so proud of you for coming out! The stress of hiding can take a huge toll. I feel like throwing a party for everyone that comes out on this site. It's so encouraging to see stories with happy endings!
Thank you. It really has seemed to change my life completely. The stress and self hatred are disappearing.
