For the last month ive been feeling really depressed because of my parents not accepting im gay and a whole load of other things. I even tried weed as a drastic measure and it did help but its expensive and I wouldnt want to depend on it. How can I feel better without talking to people?
On a first note, please stop the weed. I don't care how many times people who use it say it doesn't do any harm - it does. Secondly, you're here on EC, and you can find loads of support from many members so stick with it. I'm sure your situation won't last as long as you think it will.
When some people in your life aren't being supportive it really helps to find people who are. Are there people you can talk to? Friends, other relatives, counselors at school, an LGBT center? And of course, there's always us here at EC.
It may take time for your parents to get used to the idea, so don't try and wait for their support. Look towards friends/teachers in school, other relatives, and you will find people who are more tolerant and understanding. Also, try to keep doing activities/hobbies that boost your mood.
Btw i will only smoke weed a few times a year and most of my friends know im gay just i dont like talking about feelings
