I just recently came out to being bi.

I like it, actually.
After admitting it, I like it.

Took me a while though.

It can be hard to acknowledge all the parts of ourselves. But, it sure can feel good to say, "hey, this is who I am."

 

[reid_man]

arg we talked about it again, ahe is supportive and says not to come out because i will put myself in a "box" so if i fall in love with a girl she will say but your gay, you told me.. she thinks im bicurious.."im not old enough to know" she says..

Hiya! Good to have you hear! This is a tough and confusing time for you, you broke the ice with your mom and thats great. I would not neccesarily fight with her about her statements shes making, it seems like she is really taking it very well right now. Let it go. You are a young man and have plenty of time to figure out exactly where you are comfortable. Even if your 100% sure your Gay, just be YOU, and see where life will take you, no need to push it in her face , give her time to come to terms in her own time.

You broke the ice, she still loves you , thats an AWESOME first step, now just sit back and relax and see what happens .

 

[TuckandStuiesMom]

Hey Reid --

I have been wondering about how your talk with your mom went -- but figured you would tell us when you were ready. Totally 100% agree with NY Blue's post -- you told your mom, she loves ya, and she could probably use some time to process all this.

All in all, that is a pretty darn good outcome.
Let's see -- four days to your birthday; what are you hopin' to get for presents?

 

[hematite153]

Hey there Reid_man,

Was just thinking about you and wondering how you're doing.

Hope you had a good birthday.

Remember, we're here when you need people to talk to.

 

[reid_man]

im finally back!!grounded fromcomputer.. so imsneaked onto give an update,well mydads beinga jerk and my mom never brings it up so i guess things r ok :I my birthday was ok i guess... thatsaboutit!

(sorry my spacebaris broken)

 

[TuckandStuiesMom]

Oh wow, Reid. I am so sorry about your father. There is no good answer to why people who love you behave that way sometimes. From your previous posts, I can tell you are a strong and basically optimistic person. And you will get through this. (((((((((((((((((((((((HUGS TO YOU)))))))))))))))))))))))))))

thank you very much! it really is weird, isnt it. ((((((((((((((((hugs right back!))))))))))))))))

 

[OrlandoMike]

So Reid are you off of probation now that your posting?

 

[reid_man]

no, im at a friendshouse @_@

 

[hematite153]

Reid--Thanks for the update. I'm glad to hear that you are doing okay. I agree with TuckandStuiesMom's assessment. You seem like a strong person who will get through this and many other trying times, yet to come, in your life.

Since I don't want you getting in trouble for trying to talk to us (I'm assuming that the computer grounding is for a reasonable issue), I won't expect regular updates until your punishment is over.

But, even when you aren't online, you can remember that there are lots of people out there who support you.

 

[reid_man]

hello everyone.. bad news, i have gotten really depressed lately..and i started to do something pretty bad, i started "cutting". and now itsa habit, butit makes me feel better, im trying to stop though, i just..well.idk. thoughts??

 

[OrlandoMike]

Buddy, not a good thing! You need to stop "cutting" cold turkey! And thats an order from "Dad" on these boards!


Please talk to someone! Anyone! A friend from here, a counselor at school, a friend from school, someome from PFLAG. We all have these moments, and friends are what helps us get through them!

But stop "cutting" now!

You understand?

 

[hematite153]

Just to make sure you hear it lots:

Stop cutting!

Getting rid of an addictive behaviour doesn't usually work when you simply "try to stop", you have to actually STOP!!!

Talk to someone--anyone! If they can't help, talk to someone else.

Try calling the youthline 1-877-968-8454. They can help you at anytime and should be accessible from anywhere.

It's obvious that you know you need to stop and you know that cutting is a bad idea. Remember, there is nothing wrong with you, you are a beautiful person and this world needs you!

 

[TuckandStuiesMom]

Oh Sweetheart --
That is anger at the world turned inwards...PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE find someone you trust to talk to about these feelings. If there is nobody local, call that number Hematite posted. That you are depressed sometimes is understandable and talking about it in a therapeutic setting can really help. Even if things suck now, they can turn around 180 degrees and be great again. Trust me on this, please. Promise us you are going to talk to somebody that can help you -- and that you will try not to cut, PLEASE. You are a strong resourceful person -- I know you will be able to build positive coping strategies to deal with anxiety and depression. ((((((((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))))))
