Accepting my Sexuality

Dear Daniel thank you for your post. Sounds like you are going through a tough time in regards to accepting your sexuality. Coming to terms with our sexuality can be a challenging time but managing these feelings do get better or more reflective the more knowledge you experience. Taking one day at a time and realising you have the right to have a healthy mental health and wellbeing is important to our self-care. When you say you want to go somewhere new how do you mean? Is there any plans you are making? this link might help >> www.lgbthero.org.uk/pages/category/self-care

Sorry to hear you feel very isolated, this must be tough. There is a link below to our online social and support groups which may help. They are welcoming and supportive and friendly, and if you only want to listen in, then this can be another way to connect with others?

For myself religion, culture and faith played a big part in me first accepting who I was before I reached out to others (for me it was the GP, then counsellor). The breakthrough moment for myself was to start talking about how I was feeling with other specialists / people and social & support groups in a private and confidential and non-judgemental places. To be able to talk about how I was feeling and to be listened to really helped. So thanks for reaching out - I hope the forums help.

Talking about how we feel and feeling safe about this can help. I'm not sure where you in the world but I am hoping the below info may help. Stay in touch and let us know you get on.
