Unhappyguy, It felt strange the way you sort of threw your "I'm gay" statement out in your reply. Of course being gay doesn't need a cure. For the loosing a job etc, that's something you can take practical steps to rememdy, legally wise. The depression you are expereincing in therppapy could be completely unrelated to this "life" stuff, it could be repressing fears of dependence on the therapist for fear of him or her dying. There's so much to be explored. You'd proberbly find if you got to the route of that then you'd feel more aboe to be proactive in dealing with the prejudice you seem to expereince in your daily life.
