Hello everyone, my name's Ryan. This site seems very good and supportive so I thought I'd give it a go. I guess a little back story on me is that I've known I was gay since I was about eight, I just didn't realize there was a term for it. Then as I grew I began to learn all of the hate against people that weren't thought of as being the 'norm'. This started to freak me out as I had no idea what my parents or family would think, and it started getting really bad into the point I developed Depression, Anxiety, and even a very bad case of Psychosis, though I never realized that those were related until this year. I also happened to come out this year to all of my close friends. Two of them convinced me to talk to my counselor who was really supportive about it and told the counselors that I'll have in highschool for me. A week later I told both of my sisters and my mom on the same night and they were all supportive and my mom said she always knew. All that's left is to tell my dad, which I'm not looking forward to at all. I guess this is getting a little long, so I'll end it now. I hope to make friends here and if anyone has questions feel free to message me.
