Gay & Lesbian Teens Support Group

I's sad that you feel cursed by these things, because i see them as things that make you you, unique and help you to learn things. you should love the way you are, after all, you will be that way for the rest of the life. Sure, you have more challenges being all these things, but it will give you the opportunity to be stronger, wiser, and grow above people who are less mature, as they have not seen the bigger picture of the world as we who have truly experienced strength and earned it. Your life being this way will give you the opportunity to learn and grow and become a better person, and there will be times when it will all pay off. everything happens for a reason, and you have the opportunity to change your fate, to fight and learn if you choose to take it. There is always support out there. I have always thought that people who experience these thins- especially from a young age- are more mature, wise and resilient/strong than those who haven't experienced anything beyond the silly things of life. You can appreciate the beauty and meaning of life, knowing you have experienced so much. Having been unhappy will give you a source to draw upon for your acting, as experience always makes you a better actor, and you can use these challenges to be just as good as ordinary people, if not better! You may have to work harder to achieve things, but tat makes them more valuable. It shouldn't stop you from having a good life, unless you let it. You shouldn't feel cursed b any aspect of yourself, as one day you will meet a person who will love every single bit of you, and they will not understand how you could possibly see these things as a curse, when they see them as gifts. (No, I'm not religious at all) You should think about all the good thing that will come of these- my depression has made me a better writer, and my anxiety has made me more motivated, and more practiced at handling myself under nerves, so the one place where i feel secure and safe is when I'm on stage singing! I use the nerves to my advantage. And as for my sexuality- well, I have twice as many fish in the sea! And I will be more open-minded, more able to help people going through similar things and I am happy I'm into girls, as generally I find they make much better partners than boys and are more understanding of me!

It seems like you and I have a lot in common! Well, except the fact that your acting skill surpass mine considerably (lol). Instead of looking at the mental health and bisexuality as curses, you should see them, like everlasting mouth said, as things that make you stronger. Turn your anxiety and depression into different influences. Let them push you to be your best and happiest. If you're worried about finishing an assignment for school on time, for example, start it early instead of pushing out of your mind, which will give you more free time in the long run and a good chance to do your best work. With the depression, set yourself up to have a brighter day in the morning. Watch a comedy before bed (I highly recommend the Jack Vale and Ed Bassmaster clips on YouTube) and get everything ready for school the night before so you are less stressed when you wake up. Spend some time with your friends doing something you all enjoy. Use your experiences to give advice to others. As for the bisexuality, it's totally fine to be so! It's a natural dispostion that you were born with so you should think of it as a benefit for you. You have double the chance of a relationship! You can help people to be more tolerant by explaining different interpretations of the Bible (there's actually a book called The Church and Homosexuality that I've been meaning to pick up) and general facts about the LGBT community and life overall to cut down on the stereotypes. Why don't you visit a pride parade or support group? You will see many happy people and maybe even meet someone you like! Accepting your sexual orientation might even ease your mind a little bit because hiding it tends to be stressful. I commend you for your talents in school. Keep at them and watch them grow! Turn your "curses" into something positive and good things are sure to follow! Good luck! :)
