Struggling

I am posting here because I have nowhere else to go. Depression and anxiety have been intense. I am also suicidal today.

I am married with 2 kids. The problem is, I want to be with women. Last weekend I went out with a female friend and we hooked up. Met a couple of times since. I know it is new and exciting but being with her was more than amazing. I can not describe it. Somehow, my husband didn’t care! It was strange.

Problem is, I think I might be gay, and since I don’t want to leave him, my heart is broken. I have many suicidal and self harm urges because of it.

Of course, I will discuss it in therapy. Just trying to find reasons to keep going. Many thanks!

Perhaps you are bisexual. Or perhaps you are gay. Have you reached out to an organization to support you? I know there are many out there. This is not the end of the world, but perhaps a beginning of exploring who you are. I commend you for reaching out.

I understand where you are coming from. Keep fighting for you kids sometimes that’s the only thing that keeps me holding it together. By no means have I got this figured out, but we have to support each other. Please get some help.
