hi! I'm going by turquoise
Because I am a pastor and would lose my calling if I came out and i'm not sure if I am lesbian or bi or just crazy. I just read a wonderful book by Ken Thurow called A Place at the Table. It is excellent, welcoming and gave me some hope. Any how I'm depressed and out on disability and in the middle of getting out of an abusive marriage. My family is attacking me too - they don't know I'm Q - I thought that in GLBTQ the Q was for "Questioning" Oh well. That's what I am - questioning.

You are welcome and safe here.  It's okay to question. Sexuality is complex and doesn't go into boxes real well -- those labels are a convenience for quick sound bites, but not very convenient for real, living breathing people. It sounds like you have enough on your plate right now. Getting out of the abusive marriage is priority #1, because your entire health depends on it. Your family is attacking you? I'm sorry - I hope you have a good support system in place where you are. If not, now is the time to reach out. Well, Turquoise, I'm glad you're getting out of a bad situation. This forum is a safe place. Welcome. All the best as you roll with the changes. Zerbie

Turquoise,
Sounds like you're going through a rough spot in your life and questioning you're feelings and thoughts. It's bad when you're having to deal with depression and a disability and at the same time getting attacked from all sides. But, you've come to the right place. There are lots of people here who genuinely care about reaching out to those who need someone to talk to. We've all dampened a pillow now and then so many of us can sympathize with what you're going through. So please stick around and talk to us. We may not have all the answers but we'll be here for you anytime. Welcome to the forum.  Rick
