I'm sorry to hear things are so difficult at the moment - you are going through a lot at once!

Sometimes when you become overwhelmed it gets to a point where things don't matter too much - especially with depression and therefore no it isn't all that strange to not feel much at the moment. Just try to take it one step at a time if you can. Talking to your therapist might help if you feel comfortable with them.

As for your friend, that is never easy - does he know that you are interested? is there a way you can discuss the topic with him without revealing your feelings to at least get a sense of how he feels? For example, discussing something you saw on the news about gay rights or in a movie? I know it can be difficult - it was one of the hardest things I ever did - but you will find in time that most people are quite accepting, especially those close to you. It changes their perspective a bit when they find out that there is someone close to them who is and they are still a 'normal' person.

As i said above, you seem to be going through a lot right now. If you can, just take it one step at a time and as you get to know your therapist try to lean on them a bit. It really does help when you have someone neutral that you can talk to.
