Two more down.

[nachtspiegel]

I told one of my closest friends and my mother today.
My mother said that she's sensed it for a while.
She said that she's better about it because it has had time to sink in.

Now, my oldest sister, that friend, my mother, and my sister-in-law know.
My other sister has been asking people what they think.
She suspects it.
(For a cut-and-dry term, I am bisexual. I prefer to avoid labels though.)

I should feel relief, but I don't.
Earlier, I felt nothing.
Now, I feel a weird mix of guilt and confusion.
I need sleep.

I think that's normal you probly feel guilty because you feel that you let your parents down. the confusion I belive comes from you actually telling somebody. I know when I told my mom that iwas confused about it afterwards. It was like is this for real. Just take it slow and give it time you will be fine trust me

I always feel this way when letting out secrets.
When I first told anyone that I had been molested, I ended up getting drunk and cutting to suppress the negative flow of emotion that came from letting that bit out.

It's hard to explain.
I feel empowered but torn apart at the same time.

I'm still feeling that insane mix of release and regret.
Shoot me.

Mate welcome to the club, the feelings your feeling now are all perfectly normal. You just did something very big for yourself and now your letting all that momentum off your back you have no idea were to head next.

Just keep smiling, and whenever it all gets to much. Stop relax and sleep. What do teenagers do best? We sleep. It gives your brain a chance to order things and relax yourself.

Well, this is expected. Many people feel stange after they've let out a major secret, because it's just weird knowing that others know things about you that at one point you thought you would keep to yourself for your whole life.

People experience things differently, some might feel nothing but relief and some might feel nothing but regret. It depends on your personality and how others have reacted.

You also might be feeling weird because others have been suspicious about it for quite some time. The secrets you let out might have slowly slipped out to others previously over time and others learned about them before you were ready to tell them. This can make things really aw=kward, I mean it's like you built up all of this courage to tell this one, big and major secret to others and it's like, "Oh, yeah I've known for awhile."

I hope you feel better, and I hope I've helped you. Look on the bright side as much as you can and get support from friends.
