    Is it normal to be really depressed after you've come out to a parent. My mom was more supportive than a lot of people's parents I know that and I'm glad she loves me no matter what but I've let her know this huge secret and now I feel vulnerable and sad and depressed I just want to stay in my room forever. Any of you ever feel this way after coming out?

    No, I didn't struggle with depressed feelings. I did throw up a few times, hyperventilate and had a mental breakdown for a couple hours.. But I did eventually feel way better about myself.
    Maybe since your mom has been really supportive (which is great to hear!) you could talk to her about it? I'm sure she'd be more than willing to talk to you if you're feeling vulnerable and upset due to coming out to her.
