I technically did a double coming out. About my MIs and being gay. I feel so weird saying it online.

Add to the goodness of the world - that's all that matters. I like girls, so do you. Who gives a bleep? Personally, I think it's awesome.
Listen to "Rock and Roll Fantasy" by the Kinks........I find a ton of meaning in music. It's one of my favorite songs when I was growing up and chopping though life. Honestly, it really has nothing to do with being gay, but it's a great song about just living and choosing what you want to do. "Don't want to waste my life, hiding away anymore". It speaks to just dealing with the ups and downs of life. Life is tough, but we charge on. Just be you, no more no less. Oh, BTW...........ROCK ON! |

I bet you feel really relieved. I hope you got a lot of positive responses!
My ex boyfriend suspected something was wrong with me and I sort of told him about my MI. I said I had "mental health issues". (I said nothing about BP.) He thought I was weird after that happened. (He was my ex at the time, so we weren't still dating.) It made me self conscious at first, but now I've realized that it doesn't matter what he thinks. He was my ex anyways lol I still don't tell anyone about being BP though. I'm not as strong as you

That must have taken great courage. I really hope you get a lot of supportive responses. When I came out first, it was a short post and I got few responses. It hurt. When I later was much more open I received much more support. This was about being Bipolar and PTSD. I think often, people just don't know what to say even if they care and support you. You may get some negative responses, they don't deserve your time and energy.
Let us know how you go.

Thanks everyone! I don't have many friends on facebook so it's not too big of a deal, but still, I'm glad I did it.

I respect anyone who can be open about who they are. You go girl!
I came out on a Facebook forum. It wasn't all of my Facebook...just a few people from a special interests group I belonged to and they weren't kind at all". I'm glad this was a positive experience for you because I really believe that all people need all the support they can get. (((Hugs))) |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
