i've just come out and i feel great (i feel i've got to tell someone)

i've just came out to one of my close friends that i'm bi... and i feel pretty good now..

to make a long story short, she told me that she has a very serious eating disorder, and was asking me very insistantly if she was fat (she's actually 7 stone!). she was on the verge of tears... so i wrote down "my name is..... (i'm gonna keep her anonymous here) and I am BEAUTIFUL. everything i do is SPECIAL because it's me doing it and everyone wants to be LIKE ME", and told her to say it to herself whenever she felt down.
i don't have any feelings for her (except love you share with a very close friend), but i really don't want to lost her to an eating disorder.

i felt very strongly then to tell her i wasn't exactly straight.
i told her very quietly why i knew she was beautuful. i wrote down "i'm bisexual" on another piece of paper, gave it to her and told her not to tell anyone (i haven't come out to anyone else in "real life", only on this forum).
i think she took it quite well. she scrunched up the paper, and said she wouldn't tell anyone.

also feels good to tell somone that little story. feel free to comment if you want, but it just feels nice to get it off my chest.

 

:applause: Congradulations honeyfugle, as your level of self comfort with your sexuality increases you will tell others. Do it at your own pace. Confide in trustworthy friends and family. I am not going to tell you it will be easy, because everyone's "situation" is different. You seem to be a strong, confident young woman.

Best of luck baby, peace, all the good vibes everyone can send you. Keep us posted, as you embark on the wonderful journey of leaving the closet.

 

Good for you...Give her support and love. Tell her there are lots of people who love her as she is. Dont try to be someone else. Its was cool of you to come out to her. I hope it goes well for both of you on each of your journeys...
Peace

Congrats. Coming out and getting a good response is one of the best feelings in the world.
