    Okay, so literally 20 minutes ago I told my mum I'm bisexual. I thought I was going to be cool, calm and collected but I ended up crying. All the guilt I felt just came flooding out of me, I think. She was amazing. She was a bit surprised but she was absolutely supportive and said I was really brave and gave me a hug. She didn't really know what the term bisexual meant so I had to explain to her a little. I felt SO weird talking about it out loud because it's been in my head and my heart for such a long time.

    I think I might tell my best friend soon. I feel less scared to tell her now that I've told my mum. Omg I can't believe my mum knows now. I feel such a mix of emotions all at once. I feel happy I've told her but I'm terrified to tell other people too now. Is it normal to feel like a giant mess of crazy emotions?

    It's absolutely normal! And I'm so glad your mom was supportive. It feels great to finally be able to be open about how you're feeling. Good luck!

    That's awesome! I'm glad she took it so well, and well done for having the courage to come out to her. The more people you come out to, the easier it becomes. It's just getting over that first speed bump (Telling the first person). Good luck for your road ahead, I'm sure you'd do great! (*hug*)

    Thank you so much! You're right, I think it will get easier as I go along. It seriously feels so weird saying it out loud after just feeling this way in my heart/head for so long. It becomes more real when you say it, I guess. Thanks again :slight_smile:

    Thank you so much. It does feel good! But I feel weird now, with her knowing... I don't know, I guess it will take me time to fully get used to the fact that she knows, ah, it's so hard :frowning2:
