This post may only be borderline relevant to this forum.... But today I started really talking with my therapist about my sexuality for the first time. I came out to her before summer, but summer vacation and other stuff came in the way of talking more to her about my sexuality. The talk was hard, as I felt vulnerable. But it was also really good, because I think being vulnerable is the only way to become real. And I have been numb about this subject for so many years (never daring mentioning it to my previous therapist or anyone else), so now it feels like I am slowly coming alive. It is amazing so much has happened since I insecurely muttered those words to her before summer. Since then, I have had the courage to start accepting myself, not to forget that I have joined this forum I have always lived with the irrational fear of being found out, and ultimately ending up completely alone. Now I instead see myself heading towards self-acceptance and choosing the people who accept me over everyone else. I am tired but also hopeful.
That is completely relevant to this forum Congratulations for coming out to your therapist (*hug*) I'm really glad it's helping you becoming more self-acceptant. I'm very confident that one day, you'll be completely comfortable with yourself and happy with who you are. Take good care of yourself (*hug*), Cécile
