feeling lost and alone rn
hey, I don't even know how to start this, but i've been feeling really depressed and anxious lately. Everything just feels too heavy.
I'm gay, but no one in my life knows, i've never told anyone before, and keeping it all inside for so long is starting to really hurt. I feel invisible sometimes, like no one actually knows who i really am. I guess i just need someone to talk to, someone who gets what it's like to be scared of being yourself, or who understands how lonely this can feel. I'm not looking for anything big, just someone kind and real to talk to.
If anyone's been there or wants to listen, I'd really appreciate it :)

I am so proud of you for being honest.
That takes courage.
And to share such an importantly personal part of your life with us here, it's a privilege.
I'm sorry you are feeling so isolated and unseen.
It will take time to wrap your own head around things and to feel comfortable before you worry about others or rush forward, before you are ready 💕💜

hi I’m so sorry you feel overwhelmed
I know that feeling well
you can talk to me :)
@reliableGrapes5267 I see some of these cries for help do not get followed up on.
How are you doing?
I know I'm a bit late, how have you been lately tho?
Listen, I was in the same situation as you a few years ago. Sometimes the world feels too heavy, and feeling invisible doesn't help in those moments. You need to light your load.
My personal recommendation is to tell someone trustworthy. A friend, a family member, a teacher, a therapist if you got one. Literally whoever. When I told my friends, it obviously didn't solve everything, because it's more complex than that, but I felt free, understood, like a HUGE weight had been lifted off my shoulders.
Anyways, remember this: you're not alone. If you want to, yo can DM me to talk about this or whatever is in your mind. But know that you are already so brave just for daring to share this. We all are so proud of you.
Take care ð«¶
