probably coming out tomorrow, really scared

[rachel89]

So earlier this week, i thought my parents knew for sure, i'm not entirely sure right now, but I had a breakdown and prepared to run away (it wasn't really that good of a plan, because i don't have any money  and barely any gas in the tank (not even $20). Anyway, i talked to the PFLAG leader in my area and discussed coming out. He thought it would be a good idea to involve my therapist in it. Anyways, I called my parents while I was at his house and asked them to visit the therapist with me. Unfortunately I somehow forgot to notify my therapist (irresponsible me), and I'm not sure if I am ready to come out yet because I can't just leave my parents if things go badly. I have no money, no job, and nowhere to stay if things go badly, or even if a little space is needed. this is really scary, what did I just get myself into?

Well you might call your therapist and talk it all through with them.

I like the twin explanation... people will be like their male/female twin, with still the same sense of humour...


And I'd say don't be nervous. Its also a matter of how things are said. If you don't push it and try to explain your feelings and needs without making reproaches you might go a long way.

If you feel like it there are helplines...
they also have a chat...

I hope it goes (went?) well for you! 

If you're are reading this and you've not yet had the meeting, then I'd say to try your best to be calm and explain yourself an carefully and honestly as possible. After all, you are explaining your situation to two people who presumably love you and care about you.  You are explaining something about yourself that just plain *is*.  It is not something you've *chosen* to be.  You are (presumably) looking to figure out what steps/actions you need to take for your own happiness and sanity.
