My sexuality makes me nervous

I identify as a lesbian, but I often get anxiety about it. I come from a very religious family and being party of the lgbt community is not ok. I want to feel accepted by my family, but don’t know how. Whenever I do get married I want my partner to feel apart my family. I’m having this burst of anxiety because I can’t fully be happy with myself

Hi, It's a very late reply. I found your post through the search function. There are not many posts about sexuality. How is it going now? It must be very difficult for you that your family doesn't accept you. I hear stories that sometimes it still might happen. Do you at least have friends and places to go to where you can be your lesbian self?
