    I've been trying to decide how and when to come out to my dad, because it's been getting bad and I need to start making progress in my transition (which I can't do until I come out). I checked out my student loans and income v. rent, insurance, and phone expenses, and I would be able to afford to support myself if my dad reacts badly. However--I'm supposed to be getting on antidepressants or similar medication soon, and I'm not sure if I should come out now, or wait until I've been on the pills for a while. It's possible the pills will make me feel less awful than I do now, so the need to make progress might very soon be less pressing. What should I do?:help:

    Yeah, maybe that was a dumb question. What I meant was: should I take the risk and come out now (opening the door sooner to start doing something to feel better long-term), if there's a chance I'll be feeling well enough (read: less desperate) soon that I can put off the stressful and harrowing experience until I have a better feel for how he'll respond?
