I suffer from depression and anxiety and now I think I might be lesbian. I wouldn't have a problem with that if I didn't have homophobic parents :tears: my friends will talk about cute boys for hours if they can but I'm just not interested, I'd rather talk about girls. If it turns out that I am lesbian then I think I'll keep it to myself until I've moved out of my parents house. If anyone has advice for me please share :icon_sad: it'd help a lot
I am seriously in the same exact boat right now! if you ever need to talk about it please message me (if EC will allow it, it wouldn't let me yesterday) if it wont, post on my wall! I would be glad to talk to you anytime!
The only advice I could give you is to get rid of depression & anxiety since your sexual orientation will (if not a phase) stay with you for your whole life. I don't know the cause of your depression and anxiety, however some people do seek medical help, but I've met people who beat up depression with doing things that truly made them happy like going out a lot, buying a dog or finding a creative hobby. And you parents don't need to know it as long as you're under their roof. I truly wish you all the best!
I went through about 2-3 years being really miserable because of the stress I put myself under to work out what my orientation is, but I just gave up on caring after a while and then had an opiffany(?) that I'm grey-pan, but about 3 months and I just don't care, and I am much happier than I was when I worried, so my advice is to just not worry and it'll come to you eventually.
