    Right now I have a lot of uncertainty in my life.
    -I just recently discovered I'm Bi-Curious.
    -I broke up with my boyfriend.
    -I'm going to ask out my crush on Monday.
    -I have really bad depression at times.
    One thing remains solid despite all of the rest of the wobbling.
    -I want my family life to not be affected.
    This being said I end up acting like how I was years ago around them sometimes, where at school I'm the real me.
    What do I do?
    :help:

    Well, what particularly is bothering you? It sounds like you have some pretty clear goals for what you want to do - asking out your crush, keeping your personal life and family life separate for now. Is part of the equation bothering you?

    How about the depression? Is it self-diagnosed? Do you see a counselor? How much does it affect your life?

    @Gravity:
    Yes I see a counselor, and I talk to her about everything. It really helps but I was diagnosed with depression. After I told her I cut myself two times (not deep) she said we would focus on that.
    My medicine is helping but sometimes I experience insane guilt or sadness.
    As for your other question I really do not like the equation. It's like I worry about being who I am around family and I hate feeling like that. It's like I'm holding back no matter where I am or who I'm with.

    If you want to keep school and home separate, that's perfectly understandable. I do, for the most part.

    I'd just try and keep working on your depression and working through your issues at school. When I first found out I was attracted to men, I didn't really open up to anybody.

    But if you want to be more yourself around them, try and do that - become more open with them.
