You sound like me this time last year =/
now, i'm much happier and accepting of my sexuality. I think the first thing you should do is fully accept it yourself, realise that you cannot change it and realise that there is nothing wrong. Being gay is normal and more commonly accepted in society. You need to understand this and come to terms with it. If it helps, you can get a therapist to help you, someone you can talk to privately and who will help you come to terms with all of this and give you advice on how to come out to other people.
Secondly I think you should come out to your close friends and family. They should be accepting and won't judge you. And listen to me, it's hard coping with all of this, but it gets better. Do not kill yourself, please don't ever do something as rash and selfish as that, there are people who care about you who you would seriously hurt if you did that. I wanted to kill myself and now i'm so glad i didn't because, as cheesy as it sounds, it all got better and now life is great. Being gay is nothing to be ashamed or afraid of xx
Personal experience.
there is nothing wrong with being gay. i myself am a lesbian. you dont have to tell anyone you dont want to its your private life not theirs. just know that you arent alone and that others go through similar feelings. if you want http://selfhelp.yuku.com has a forum on gay issues where you can get support from other GLBTQ youth. death is never the answer. i am here for you.
Tell your family and friends. Be out with it; say its what you want and are happy with. Say it in no way affects how you think of people.
Honestly as soon as you tell someone it feels so much better. What kind of people are your friends and family?
you might have bipolar disorder. Look it up on youtube :) Alot of people have that disorder and they are struggling everyday with it, you could be one of them :) hope you get better xxx
well you can see someone will help you out alot.. some one you will trust,
well walks are good to feel better.
Your definitley not alone. I'm now taking anti-depressants too and I'm not sure they work. But you need to hang in there and try to remember all the things that make you happy. I have a journal that I write in about things that I remember that use to make me really happy and things that I enjoyed doing. Recently I found that hiking and music both help me with my stress. They say anti-depressants take a while to kick in and you have to work with them to get better.
I also found looking at quotes about life and watching movies that are inspirational helped me. Almost everyone goes through some kind of depression, others are more sevevre. I also came out to my parents about being bisexual and didn't get the response that I was hoping for. I lost almost all of my close friends, but through it all I try to look at everything on the bright side. I still have my grandmother who loves me and my two nieces to live for.
Everyone has something to live for and there is so much to see in the world. That is what keeps me going, knowing that there is something for all of us.
