I haven't come out yet and it's really stressing me out. I can't sleep at night and sleep most of the day because I'm so tired. Could being in the closet be causing the messed up sleep schedule? My parents keep asking me why I haven't been sleeping at night and why I've been so mopey lately. No way am I coming out like that. Advice?:sleep:
Being in the closet causes stress. Stress causes sleep deprivation. Are you stressed out about anything else?
I just want to point out, that at 13, your body is going to be changing, and that can cause added stress, and loss of sleep.
13 = hormones, hormones = stress, stress = lack of sleep. In other words, there could be other factors besides sexuality.
If you're thinking that you're being in the closet is causing you're lack of sleep, you could always do something to test that. Pick one of your closest friends, one who you think will be supporting, and try coming out to them. That would hopefully help eliminate some of the stress you feel, at least because of being in the closet.
Yeah I feel the same way most of the time.........I don't know exactly what is causing it though......
Im closeted and I can still sleep lol. I'm not too sure what's going on though. It's probably because you got other things on your mind and you don't realize it.
The hormones in your body are causing your body to adjust to the schedule you are mentally setting down. If you are staying up late or thinking about your sexuality and coming out before bed...it might cause sleep deprivation. Remember...MIND OVER MATTER. Only you can get yourself to just accept that you are in the closet and that it is the best scenario for family situations...
