Hello @sadpanda1254
It sounds like you have a crush on a straight girl and are having a hard time getting over it. Trust me, every gay person has been there. Getting over an unattainable crush is possible though!
The first step to overcoming this is to acknowledge your feelings, which you have already done! Writing about what you are going through on 7 Cups is a great way to not only receive support for this but also get all these feelings off your chest and admit they exist. I suggest you continue writing about this. Whether you want to write online or on paper is up to you, but you might benefit from getting these thoughts out of your mind.
On the topic of accepting feelings, try not to repress them. If you begin to feel sad or angry, allow yourself to feel rather than repress. There is nothing wrong with taking some time to cry or punch a pillow. As long as these feelings don't get in the way of your daily routine, embrace them :)
My final suggestion is to continue practising self-care. Don't forget that there are many other women in the world and that you will find someone eventually. You are still worth loving even when not in a relationship <3
