Figuring out who I am
I used to be so happy but now I have been feeling very down. I just want to be happy but things that used to make me happy don't do so anymore. I used to be someone people looked up to but nowadays I feel like no one even knows I exist.
I am not feeling suicidal yet, just sad and depressed, and it is hard to be down in an already rough world.
One thing that doesn't bring me happiness anymore is dating. I used to only date guys, and it used to be great. But recently I have been attracted to woman. I have been scared to call myself les, however, since people knew me as straight. So I simply call myself bi but realistically, I am not bi....
I feel so bad and I feel like a hypocrite, since I try to be nice and helpful to people here on 7cups which is a great community, but how can I help people with their lives when I can't even figure out my own life?
I repeat that although I am feeling down, confused, sad, and depressed, I am not suicidal right now, but I am hoping some girls can help me out maybe

I am a girl sometimes so I guess that makes me eligible 😎.
What profoundly helped me in my life was this statement by some spritual person. "Stop going around the world with a begging bowl - give me happiness, give me happiness, live etc.. " For, he said, " Noone can ever give permanent happiness- wife, friend, other relations... Even if they are quote unquoted good, that will not be enough. Such is the nature of desire. You are that happiness itself that you are seeking in someone else's action or being. You have to realise it, so seek." For me it did help. I hope it helps you and others who come across.
@MyInnerSenseIsBlooming Thank you so much for your help :)
