Re: Accepting my sexuality

If you were waiting to hear how the appointment went I'm sorry I didn't reply sooner. I wanted to wait till I at least somehow sort my thoughts and talk with my parents about what they want to do next etc. But neither has happened yet. Anways, it wasn't that bad, or at least I think so. It could hav...

Re: Accepting my sexuality

Thank you! Well, the only person I can now think of who said something like that directly is my mum but probably all of the other relationships are too low-stakes for people to openly demand closeness or affection even if they'd deserve it. Anyway, tomorrow I have the appointment with the therapist ...

Re: Accepting my sexuality

Well, she is just one of those who I have no real reason to dislike, who never hurt me or never meant to, but I still feel very uncomfortable around several of those people. And of course I'm not expressly mean or rude to those people so I'm not hurting them directly, but I myself know how terribly ...

Re: Accepting my sexuality

Thank you for reminding me that, it is sometimes too easy to forget such things even if I know them and  you have told me them many times. Just yesterday I was saying to a friend something along these lines, that it is absolutely okay to not understand all of our feelings, there are tens of chemical...

Re: Accepting my sexuality

Thank you! And sorry, I asked for advice and then didn't follow it. I realise he wouldn't have a hard time guessing who wrote the letter even if it was anonymous because there are only 10 people in his class and just three girls and I didn't want to risk that he would want revenge on someone else or...

Re: Accepting my sexuality

Thank you, knowing how it might look like really helps to ease some worries! As for my future relationship with my parents, I guess you are right. It's just that I find it hard to imagine my future life with them still in it, I don't know how it would work and also don't know how might they react wh...

Re: Accepting my sexuality

And thank you so much, Elise! I'm sorry I didn't your post at first. I didn't know about those boxes and it seems like a great way to solve the problem, I'm going to look more into that as soon as possible. It's a bit funny that someone from the other side of the world is helping me to find things i...

Re: Accepting my sexuality

Than you so much! It means so much to me that you took the time to find and put together all this information, it's super helpful and appreciated <3 I didn't even know many of those options existed. If I understand it right, I wouldn't be eligible for most student financial support as it is if often...

Re: Accepting my sexuality

The problem with both Zoom and email is that it couldn't be done without my parents knowing - they get notifications from my email to their computer. Maybe it could work if I was careful, but right now I'm too scared and paranoid to try anything. I have just had another, for me quite important, part...

Re: Accepting my sexuality

The appointment is on the 14th next month so there's still quite some time, but I'm already unreasonably nervous anyway. Thank you, that sound like it might work (if I'm miraculously able to overcome the fear of talking with her and just getting into conflicts in general). But I'm not sure if she wi...

I hope it's okay if I add something too, if not, feel free to delete this. I'm probably coming to this from a completely different  perspective that other people. I can't even imagine how hard it must be to see the way things are for decades and see that despite so much work done and so many possibi...

Re: Accepting my sexuality

Thank you for your answer! It didn't occur to me that her specialisation might be the reason my parents are sending me there, it definitely sounds plausible, but on the other hand she probably also was the only one available as she is my mum's friend and wouldn't have time for me otherwise. But no m...

Thank you for sharing your experience, I'm glad you got the help you needed. (Off topic - I saw in your profile that you have a guniea pig, that's so great, I have two of them!

Re: Accepting my sexuality

As for the situation I keep mentioning, there's practically nothing to talk about as I really don't remember anything and don't want to assume anything based on rumors and weird feelings. But I keep coming back to it in my thoughts again and again and it's getting a bit disturbing, so I wanted to as...

Re: Accepting my sexuality

Re: Accepting my sexuality

Sorry, I'll reply to your questions in depth later as I don't have much time right now, because my parents have suddenly started checking and controlling things like what I wear or do on the internet again (and it'll probably get even worse when they find out about some things from school). So I'll ...
