hey, i'm in a really similar situation. it's great that you were finally able to accept your feelings and realise that they were natural instead of blaming yourself. i also think it's really cool that you felt comfortable enough to share your story online, even if you're not quite ready to share it otherwise (which is completely normal- i'm in the same boat). as someone who is also in high school and can't get around without someone to take me, i think looking for support online (like this) is the best way to relieve some of suffocating feelings. i'm new here, but there are other great resources life qlife and twenty10 that have really good services if you ever need to talk to someone. i also think it's really amazing that you can see and acknowledge your progress. there is definitely no pressure to come out or tell anyone how you're feeling, and it's important that you do everything in your own time. that being said, if you feel like your feelings really are suffocating you, it's important to reach out, not necessarily to someone you know, but maybe to someone online or even a professional if you feel you need to. finally, i just wanted to say thank you for sharing your story. i know it made me feel more like there are people out there going through the same thing as me, and that it is completely normal to feel this way, so thank you xx ...
