I'm a 20 year old girl and I know for a fact I'm attracted to other women. I'm unsure as to whether I'm bi or a lesbian but I guess I'll figure that out in time. At least I hope so anyway! At the moment though what's bugging me is that I feel like I'm living a lie, I'm not out at all to anyone other than one of my friends and I do want to come out but I'm terrified to. Its great that one of my friends know as i have someone to talk to about how i feel and i can be myself around her but its almost as if im living a double life. I just feel so emotionally drained and down about everything. So I guess my question is, how do I deal with the feelings I have and how do I learn to accept the fact that I am different? Any advice would be great as at the minute this is eating me up inside.
At first it's very hard. But the more people who you tell and accept you, the better you feel! It's a liberating thing! Until then, talking with those who know, journals, this site... anything you can have as a resource can help. Or, if you can, a counselor.
