I have planned to come out to a friend this weekend. I know it will be hard, but in the long runit'll make my life more enjoyable, and make me able to be myself again like I used to.

@ChristmasSweater

This is a very big decision, but I am glad that you feel comfortable to share this with a friend. I wish you the best of luck with it. Have you came out to anyone else? If not, do you feel like coming out to a friend first can help you come out to others since you have a support? I am glad you realized this will make your life more enjoyable. It's important to be yourself and feel comfortable in your own skin so it is very great you are able to do that.

i am proud of myself because almost a year ago i was in such a deep & dark place i felt that there was no escape. i attempted to kill myself January 30, 2014. but i can say now that i am so proud of myself for making it out of that dark place. & im so glad that it wasnt meant to be for me to go & i made it. though sometimes i do feel sad i dont nearly feel as depressed & lonely as i felt a couple months ago. & i thank god everyday that i made through a war with myself & i hope that those of you struggling with the same problems that i was/am, realize your worth & push through this battle!❤️

@Jazz124I am so glad to hear that you were able to overcome that. It must have been a very difficult time but you are very brave. I am also glad to hear that you are proud you pushed through and are in a better place. Were there any certain things that allowed you to cope with all of this? Like a sport, for example? Again, I admire how brave you are and strength you haveand I am glad I was able to read this post because of that.

@LaurenL no i really didnt have much of anything. i was getting into bad things & i didnt have much of a support system. but! eventually i went to seek a counselor & before i was going to see a counselor i used to think that it is stupid but it is far from. i dont think people really realize how much just talking about things on your mind can help so much. but thank you so much!(:

I am proud of myself because I know I can get through whatever comes in my way even if that means through crying or anything else like that. I'm proud of myself because I am who I am and because I've grown from the fall downs and each time I stood up with or without realizing it, I come out strong withrealization of things and I come out strong.
