A few nights ago I had a dream in which I came out to all my friends and ended up trying to kill myself. Since then, I can't get it out of my head... I've been pretty depressed lately, thanks to to usual- girls, grades, just general self-esteem issues, questioning my sexuality... etc. Plus, my best friend, the only person who knows about my sexual preference has moved halfway across the world to Germany. I can't help thinking what it would be like to kill myself. It's really getting to me. Does anyone have any suggestions to stop myself from being so depressed? Its starting to show in my daily life and I think its getting worse.
Thanks,
-Shadow

Come out to your friends, the ones who are there with you. You will feel so much more comfortable being able to be yourself all the time. And at the same time, get to know some new people who might be in the same situation as you; you can talk about problems you both have and kind of "face the world together" so to speak.
Hey, good luck! wink

I dunno, I'm not sure how my other friends would react to that. I mean, they would probably be okay with it, but not in the same way my other friend was. She never even treated me differently. We were perfectly okay after I told her. My other friends... I can't imagine my relationship with them taking that kind of hit.
I guess right now I'm just feeling kind of lost, with everything going on in my life.

If they're really your friends, they'll have no problem with it. I know it sounds scary and it feels like you could end up with no one, but honestly, usually your friends are the absolute most supportive when you discover your sexuality. A couple of them might not even be surprised! Friends are intuitive, and they like you, and this doesn't change who you are, so there is no reason for them to stop liking you.
Does your school have a gay-straight alliance, or a club or anything? If so, and if you haven't already, try going to a meeting once or twice, the people there will be more than willing to help you figure out how to come out to friends and family.
What else is going on in your life?

In my life I've found that their isn't alot of people you can count on or rely on to be there for you in situations like the one alot of us have been in, that being coming out to family, friends or whoever... You have to be your own best friend and stay strong reguardless of who knows or doesn't know your a lesbian. Don't let your sexual preference define your life or yourself, to me its not even something I think about, its natural and I rarely discuss it with people in my life, just live and be positive that your important and don't let yourself become to depressed that you miss out on love and happieness
