Have you come out of the closet to find love and support? Or are those close to you having a difficult time accepting your lifestyle?

Homosexuality

Quote From: tr7nity

Hey, my name is Trevor and I am 17 years old. I have gone through a really s***** few years, and have a few questions. In the past 24 months my friend OD'd at my house, my mom smashed her head against a table because she was under the influence of xanax, heroin, and methodone, my friend Jeremy who I thought was straight asked me out only to break up with me 2 weeks later, and we never actually did anything. About a month after the breakup I went to live with him for awhile because my mom was on all those drugs and we got evicted from our house, so one night I called him and asked if I could stay at his house for awhile. He told me to call his mom so I did and she said I could stay there. We ended up getting closer than we ever were. He would always flirt with me but he would then go and talk to his girlfriend on the phone, he made no sense. He kept claiming he was straight. I have lived with my friend Kay, my friend Jeremy, my friend Jeremy's friend of the family Bobby (he ended up molesting me), Jeremy's brother, My sister, my friend Trent, and also took a bus from NY to LA to live with my dad, hoping the situation of my life would improve(it didn't, my dad turned out to be a crack addict, literally) so I took a bus to CT to live with my grandma. I am currently staying at my grandma's house and my mom is about to hit rock bottom with her drug problem, she isn't even living anywhere right now she is on the street. I always think I'm really ugly(I always think lowly of myself, and am extremely insecure)I have been depressed for about 3 years now, and it keeps getting worse. About 6 months ago I slit my wrists and had to go to the hospital. Basically, I am just wondering why I am so f***ed up. I am extremely insecure and hate myself for being gay. I never think highly of myself, and never want to do anything social. My idea of a good time is taking pills or getting drunk. I am always having suicidal thoughts. I try to stay strong and just wait off depression, but nothing seems to work. It is still getting worse. I cut myself from time to time, I don't do it to often but every time I do it it gets worse. I now usually have marks going from the bottom of my wrist halfway up my arm all going in different directions. I have been with a group of friends that weren't exactly a group I should be hanging out with, so I cut them off, or at least try to most of the time. They are into drugs. I tried to hang out with a different group of people and they are a group of people ages 18-40 who always party. They introduced me to coke and I have been doing that alot lately. I have gone overboard with my coricidin abuse (I now drink 3 bottles of robitussin or take at least 22 pills of coricidin at the rate of 3-20 times a month). I am in a losing battle with life and really need help. What should I do? I don't even want to talk to a therapist I think they will put me in some sort of mental facility. I feel like such a screwup.

Please, please PLEASE...please talk to someone. An adult, someone you trust. Please seek out help. Real help.

I have no earthly idea how to respond to your post but I had to say SOMETHING....Please, Please Please...go to someone you trust. Your grandmother maybe? An Uncle, Aunt, neighbor....someone and tell them what you are going through and that you need help, professional help and guidance...

Please.

I don't know what else to say to help you. Honestly I think you are at a point in your life where you can't help yourself. Your post kept me up last night....no one can force you to do anything, but you are so young, and you are in a scary place. I think reaching out to someone for help would be the smartest thing you could do.

I wish you luck.

Yea....Turns out..My friend OD'd and is in critical condition..And I really am at the end of my depressive stage.... Ive had too much. I don't think it's talk anymore, 3 years of depression has taken it's toll. I really don't know what to do and at this point I WANT to cut deep enough to where I have no more worries. I don't know, I hate myself, I hate everything, I hate being a faggot, I hate emotions..Nothing is working, everything is always wrong. I'm on my way to the store right now to get some pills and trip, because I haven't tripped in about a week and that's a LONG time to me. I'm going insane that I have been drugless. Maybe hopefully I will OD. If not I still have plenty of chances with boxcutters. I now admire my scars. I don't know why, but I like them there. The only thing better than the scars would be death itself.

 Please don't do something irrational. You sound like a great person that could just use some help getting past some problems. I know you don't want to die by the fact that you are posting here. I would help you more if I could.  Your life could be so great if you could find some help. Life doesn't have to be enveloped in depression. Think of how you wished your life to be and find a way to make it happen.  Just don't make a decision you can't change...death is permanent.

I wish I could say something. The fact that you are posting here is proof that you are reaching out. But there is nothing me or anyone here can tell you.  What you are going through is bigger than you right now, it's more than you can handle on your own...you need to find help.

Disrepecting Friend?

I have a friend who is gay. No big deal, right? Well, he and I have another friend who ALWAYS has to bring it up in some kind of joke. He laughs, to be polite, but she recently went too far. At a forgiveness session at our workplace, she outed him in front of 218 other employees. (Her exact words? "____, I'm apologizing for something I said - a joke about your homosexuality. I think everyone should be accepted, no matter how much they anger the Republicans *laughs*") The harassment got so bad, he was forced to leave work. I am so angry at her! What can I do to try and fix this? Or is it not my problem?

There is nothing you can do to fix this. This isn't yours to fix. You can just be a good friend to you gay friend. Make sure he knows you are there for him, stand up for him when/if people pick on him.

If I were in your situation I wouldn't even talk to the other friend until she apologizes and shows some remorse for her horrid behavior. And until she learns to control her childish jokes about another person's sexuality.

I am way to scared

I am not to sure if I am really homosexual. I mean i have dated guys before high school, but since then I have a hard time even being with a guy in a relationship. I just don't want to "come out" and then realize that I really am not. But then again if I come to see that I am homosexual and do come out, I am so scared to see what my family does/says. My father and other members of my family have made it clear over the years that being homosexual is not accepted in our family, and that it's frowned upon.

What do I do? Please someone please help me?

Who are you sexually attracted to? Who turns you on? What sex gives you a biological reaction?

It's ok to be confused about these things too. You don't have have to answer those questions to me. And you don't to answer them now. They are just questions to ponder.

Your sexuality is who you are sexually attracted to.

Is it possible you really are gay but are resisting it because you fear your family's reaction?

Could you be bisexual? Attracted to both sexes?

This isn't something you need to decide about yourself this second so don't stress over it and really it is OK to be confused, it really is. Just think about these things, ponder them...

Think about the times you have been in contact with each sex, how you reacted and felt emotionally and physically.
