I think I might come out to my mum and sister today. I don't live with my dad and we're not close, so I don't plan on telling him that I'm gay. I planned on telling my mum earlier on in the week, but due to being back at college my anxiety levels sky rocketed (to the point where I can't be in the same room as my peers when I'm not in lessons, which resulted in a LOT of panicked crying in a gross school toilet cubicle), and I immediately got scared off telling her due to my mood being so much lower. However, after having positive conversations with my friends (who don't know I'm a lesbian) about LGBT stuff (including RuPaul's drag race lol), and my crush messaging me about a lesbian-related film we both like, I feel that I have been given the mood boost and confidence to tell my mum, and then probably my sister too. I know they'll both be supportive, but of course it's still the scariest thing, because they probably have little to no idea, and no matter what I do my anxiety is still a huge part of my life. I'd appreciate it if anyone on this site would want to share their thoughts! -S <3
How did it go? I think coming out to family would be the mossy nerve racking because their opinions matter the most to us.
