I told my counselor...

    I told my counselor yesterday and it felt amazing!!! It's such a good feeling to just yell it out and not care who hears anymore. I told her everything that I've been feeling and that I'm just done hiding it! My life has been a train wreck and these past couple months have been hell, but the one thing that has been holding me together is this forum. You all are so amazing and I really want to thank every one of you for all your support. There's been a few times where I just want to give up, and all it takes is one person to say "you're not alone" and I have a reason to hold on longer. From the bottom of my heart, thank you...

    Telling my therapist was one of the best things ever. I completely melted down for a few days after, because he was the first person I had ever told. But, now, he's someone I can talk to openly about it and not worry. In fact, we talked most of my session last night about being gay, and it was wonderful.

    Baby steps...:slight_smile:

    I am so happy for you, and so glad to hear how much of a help we are to each other. We are living a part of history, and one day we (and our future generations) will look back and study the hate and wonder, "Why?"

    Well done!

    I got a therapist because I needed to tell someone, so I've been open with her from day 1. It's so amazing to have a 'space' to be ME. (Although I know I have to watch out for transference as she is rather gorgeous!)

    Aw, you're so sweet. The first person I told as my therapist, so I definitely understand how you're feeling. Like a weight is lifted off your shoulders?
    Congrats, that's so amazing :slight_smile:

    I am interested in working in a role such as this. So, if you don't mind me asking you all, where did you find your therapist and how? School? Google? Just looking to see what I should do to be in a position to help such as this for a career.
