How do you deal with emotions after you come out ?

I suppose all it takes is time, coming out is weird and strange and it feels rather different knowing somebody knows and hopefully doesn't mind. At first you will feel very odd and probably see lots of things differently, but rest assured this will fade and the sooner you accept yourself the sooner you'll no longer feel as much of an outsider. Though do bear in mind things will always be different, it will never fully go away but won't feel as bad or strange.

 

Coming out to oneself is always the hardest. You may experience stages such as the stages of grieving, because you are experiencing the "death" of who you thought you were so to speak.
When you come out to others, go at your own pace. It will take time and quite possibly some awkward moments to adjust, but eventually you'll feel better as more and more people know. Congrats on coming out to someone! It's a huge first step and you should be proud of yourself!

 

I'm very glad. I didn't think it would, but on the off chance it did, I decided to say it. (*hug*) Yes we've gotta just keep swimming!!! Sometimes these emotions can get overwhelming, but things will get better.

 

i agree it can sometimes make it painful for you to say it but it will be ok in the end

 

I wouldn't expect everything to feel normal right away. If you were used to acting a certain way before you came out, it's gonna take a while to change those habits even though they're not the natural "you." Just take it as it comes.
