Hi, I just want to say that I have read your posts and you have touched my life in that after reading about your experiences, I think of you often. My sister is gay and she came out when she was about 23 years old. She often refers to the years following her coming out as her "teenage years" because she feels her "real" teenage years were wasted because she didn't feel comfortable to be herself then. Since coming out she has experienced periods of depression--she refers to those times as growing pains. I'm not saying that your experience is the same as hers, but I just feel for you both because in addition to trying to deal with depression you have a whole other set of issues related to being gay in America today. Be proud of yourself. You are not alone and many of us think of you often and send you strength and love.
