Hi, dumps,

I understand partially.  I'm sure I don't understand completely.  I have PTSD, clinical depression, chemical imbalances, am a recovered drug addict and alcoholic in recovery.  What you are going through is rough.  No doubt.  You can do it.  I am doing it every day.  Some days are easier and some days seem like you are going to drive straight to buy drugs or alcohol.  Tell yourself to go home.  Or if you can make it one week, just ask yourself if you can make it one week, and then do that.  I use the harm reduction method with alcohol.  It works for me.  It might work for you too.  I don't know if you believe in a higher power, but they believe in you.

God bless you.

@downinthedumps2023 Welcome to the community! Coming out with your sexuality is a hard task. Especially the older you are. It seems the young crowd has that down a bit easier as a group. You may find some both online and in real life groups of people to connect and relate to. I know where I live there are some great all inclusive places within a half hour drive where people can feel comfortable to be who they are.

Best of luck to you and lots of love for embracing yourself and coming out. 

@downinthedumps2023 we are here to support you xxxx

Welcome. Hope you’re doing well today
