Ok, so my mum was tidying round today, when she found and read a letter I had wrote to her explaining I was Gay. She's cool with it, but, I don't feel right. Like, most people say how liberating and happy they feel ... I feel sick to my stomach. Why? It’s really confusing and horrible.

I had started to think maybe I’m bisexual beforehand. Is that why? Is it because I'm not really Gay?

Please help me ... I feel sick to my stomach right now, really bad....help guys ='[

I've gone through the same thing. I thought it'd be liberating and all that, but it turned out that I was the one who freaked out instead of my parents. Looking back on it, I found my negative reaction to be from a very deep fear of rejection that was immediately brought to the surface. I had come out at the wrong time; I couldn't even accept myself and my sexuality was still fluctuating between gay and bi, but I felt like I had to tell someone close soon.

I unfortunately don't have much to say other than give yourself some time to think about who you are, and always have pride in yourself. It's difficult to stay positive about one's self sometimes with all the public hatred flying around, but I'm trying to make it my goal to remain optimistic and disprove misconceptions about things like sexuality to as many people as I can. To me it's all a matter of being proud of who I am, and it can be a real challenge in the face of others.

Hopefully that provided some accurate insight. If not, well, I'm still in the same boat.

Yeah, give yourself more time to think. You don't want to first tell your parents that you're gay THEN tell them later that you're bisexual...it'll give them fuel to think it's a "phase" and whatnot. Be sure of yourself, there should be NO rush ^__^!!!!
