I came out to my family and friends five years ago. It only took 15 years. My parents do not accept this at all and this has put a strain on our relationship. Most other family members are fine with this. I've lost several what I considered to be close friendships. I have poor social skills and find it hard to socialise in the lgbt community. I am depressed, have social anxiety and self harm. I'm seeking help with issues at the moment. How did you cope with coming out later in life?
