They're not always the best places to be getting support when you're thinking about coming out. I can't give you advice on whether you should do that right now, as you're the best judge of your environment and how safe it is. Have you heard of a place called Qlife? You can google them and find them, they have a phone line and an online chat that would be really helpful for you.</P> <P>I think it's awesome that your friend has said yes to going out. 5 weeks must seem like a long time right now, and I imagine you're so excited you want to be able to tell people about it. </P> <P>Try to take things at your own pace . You must be experiencing a real rush of feelings, if you don't have anyone else to talk to about these then come back and post them in here.</P> Sun, 22 Apr 2018 23:02:35 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/sexuality-and-gender-identity/coming-out-and-advice-to-cope/m-p/371195#M3518 marcus_c 2018-04-22T23:02:35Z
