Now what do I do? Day 2

[josh1817ua]

I don't think it's going to be a big problem, from what you have said. If my best friend told me he was gay, I would congradulate him. He is a step further than everybody else: he has his sexuality figured out. He told me that he has tried to commit suicide; I helped him through that. He has a back problem that 15 people IN THE WORLD have; I was his therapy. He has extremely brittle bones (a disease that is slipping my mind) I was his "bodyguard" when he started coming back to school. He was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome. I was by his side. All of this is true (I'm starting to cry as I write this) except for him being gay. And if he told me that, I would be OK with it.


I "believe" that he is "ok" with me being gay(not for sure), we have not talk about it a whole bunch. Plus I will not talk to or see him for the next few weeks, months, i don't know how long, because he will be gone. So right now I have been going through much depression and a lot of mixed emotions about being gay and telling him. Who am I going to talk to in person about it, I have no other friends that I trust to tell? Also a teacher today confronted me about being so depressed and was trying to help me. She also told me that I can talk to her or councilor and she will help me in any way and won't look at me any different. I don't know what to do about this whole situation, because I have so may mixed emotions about it all.

I would say talk to one of them if it is getting so bad. They just want to help so I think it would be a good idea. It might make you feel loads better!

If it's getting this bad, go ahead and talk to the teacher or counselor. There's no need to keep all that in...

Your more then welcome to talk to me, or anyone on VT. Anybody on this website would be more then happy to help you. However, you can talk to your counselor or teacher, whoever you feel more comfortable with.

I agree with MassiveAttack.

I had some similar mixed feelings and I talk with coolguyxd and it helped me alot,

I agree, you can talk to your counselor or teacher. Maybe his being gone for a while will help: he will have time to take in what you said and realize that you've always been gay (even though it might've taken a while for you to figure out) and that you're the same person. And if you don't feel comfortable telling your friends, don't tell them. And dont be afraid to talk to us.

If you feel it's getting bad, you should definitely talk to someone- be it a teacher, or someone on here.
I have been in a position where I have been, sort of a councelor, for younger kids at my 2ndary school (higher school/ college whatever you call it)- people sometimes find it easier to talk to someone their own age, or even someone who isn't an adult.

My advice, ask someone on here... Everyone is happy to chat and help each other out- who knows, they may even share your sort of experiences.
Anyway- its up to you- but don't forget- we're all here for you - even me :)

I know its hard to open up to someone that you don't know very well, but talking to a teacher you like or your guidance councilor might be helpful. Depression is a serious thing and you should make sure you know exactly what's wrong. If I were in your shoes, I would try to contact my friend in some other way if you can't see him in person. Either call him, send him an email, or something like that.
