When I was closeted I used to cry myself to sleep almost every night. I was so depressed and wanted to come out. I'm out now and haven't cried since. Much happier. How about you?

Yes. I've felt alot better since I've started telling close friends but it still hurts not being able to share this huge part of me with my parents. I used to tell my mom everything and now I feel like I'm lying to her by just getting up in the morning. It's a horrible feeling but I'm afraid of loosing the stability of the relationship I have with my parents if I tell them. I'm young so I depend on them for everything as well. I want to tell them. I want to scream it at the top of my lungs but of course I don't. I also have a girlfriend that I love with all of my heart so that only makes it harder because I'm SO happy with her but I have to keep it all inside along with the pain of lying to my parents. So yes, I'm sometimes cry myself to sleep just like you did when you were in the closet.

Yes I used to cry and I went to a support group in a big city that helped but i did not feel right until i came completely out of the closet. Now, I rarely cry. And if i do, i don't cry about that!

Yeah I cried, but not all night. I'm still kinda in there, I've only come out to my parents. I don't want my friends or siblings to know yet. I can't bare them thinking I'm disgusting just cause I'm bi. But, sometimes, i'm happier. When my parents try to talk to me about it, i wish i were still closeted completely.

I am so sorry for you;living at home with my parents was not easy with a huge homo hater as my dad was:his favorite line:"if I ever find out ,one of my boys is gay,I personally will castrate him"
I hated that man ever since I can remember and took no notice of him.Weren't even scared or intimidated.The rest of the family was.
After i started my job as a teacher in high school and received my first paycheck I MOVED OUT .bought MY OWN HOUSE..And my boyfriend moved in as quickly as possible.
So ,I had to lay low at home,but my whole village knew I was gay.
I never cried myself to sleep:my self esteem is way up,has never been low.I see you feel much better now.
If however you need to talk?
You may and can IM ,ME:GREETINGS:ROB.

It's been longer than I can remember since I cried, and I don't think being gay had anything to do with that. Still, I always felt like I had a weight on my chest which was lifted when I came out.

I was very lonely and sad in the closet I cried and tormented myself with isolation and found happiness and freedom in coming out Now i cry out against injustice prejudice and oppression where as before I cried in solitude

I'm not gay, but I though I might be bi after having this irresistable crush on this girl. I felt better once I told my close friends. I even told her, we would talk a lot but nothing happend between us. Since then, I've always been with guys. But I can also speak for one of my best friends. She came out months ago to me, when she introduced me to her first girlfriend. She cried because she was scared of what I might think, but I told her, I love her even more, because she told me. I like my friends to tell me their secrets. And I love my gay friends, and gay people in general. It's not like they have horns or anything where you can identify them. We are all human!

I don't remember ever crying about it (I was too defended for that), but I was still pretty miserable. Like you, I too am a much happier person since coming out.
Congratulations. :)

Cry? Hmm... I'm more like pissed off most of the time, insecure with myself and mad at God for making it so hard to just be me...
And when I came out, I just found that the world is beautiful and God loves me and created me perfectly.
Out is the new In!
