Just to let you know. I reached out to Imaan. I spoke to a lovely woman who gave me great advice. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. I feel a lot better now. ❤️

HI Debbie. My name is Lynn. I've a *little* older than you but I was there. Believe me when I say. The worries you have in your mind right now won't matter when you come out. My parents never accepted me. But what I found was a community of strong women who brought me in and supported me. They loved me. The LGBT community will love you for who you are.
Everyone is different and nobody can advise you how to do this correctly. There is no correct way. But you have to do this for you. Coming out is a wonderful experience. But make sure you are 100% happy with yourself before you open that door.
Lynn xx

Not a lesbian, but from the looks of it you're on the right track. Hope all is OK, Debbie x

Great! I had a nice weekend. Imaan have put me in contact with a counsellor who is muslim and a lesbian. We've had a quick chat on the phone but she has already helped me so much. We're going to arrange regular sessions. Thanks again for pushing me in the right direction. I know I've a long way to go but I feel so much better.

Hi all.
I just thought you'd like an update.
I've now had two skype sessions so far and although it's been slow they have helped me so much. We talk about lots of random stuff but it all comes together to help me think about what I want from life.
Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. It's been a life saver.
