Thank you for this video. I really needed to head some of this.  I'm at a deep moment in my depression from a lot of loss and death in my life in the past year. Checking out the link now.

Thanks again.

I'm Lathan from small town, USA.

You describe everything so well. I was an athlete but it didn't matter because of the dressing nice, made the other guys not like me and call me all the names they could. The only the differences was that I came out in high school because I was so tired of living two different lives, also that lead to me getting attacked by 6 guys in the locker room after practice, were they beat me down pretty bad and that wasn't even the worst of it. You are awesome to share!

@ThroughMyEyes100 Hey I'm sorry you had to go through that. You were very brave for coming out when you did. I hope things are better now!

You describe the sense and symptoms of depression very well, and your remedies create many possibilities. I am going to perform coming out monologues at my university and I am excited. I forgot to look at all these videos to pull emotion and inspiration from them.

@nobodysdc7 Hey, thanks a lot! That's very cool of you to say. I think the scariest thing is not knowing why you're feeling what you're feeling. There's no shame in being depressed. Life is not all rainbows and unicorns. Good luck with your monologues!

I had a lot of dark days like that. Thanks for talking so eloquently about yourself, bro.

@zebredpooding Um, no. That's not a "gay men" thing. Have you seen 2 girls 1 cup?

Sam, your video touched me so much and brought back to mind my teenage years. I went through a lot of the same stuff you told about going through yourself. Wish I could have hugged you every time I noticed you being close to tears. Think you must have the cutest sneeze in history! Keep up the good work, just discovered your videos today! xoxo

@KindaGayBlog Thanks. I really appreciate the fact that you were able to record your coming out transition, it's a hard topic. I would email you but I wouldn't want to dump that much stuff on someone. A psychiatrist would probably be better bet.

We're not here on the planet to make people happy, our purpose is to teach the word of God to those who don't yet know or understand the word of God. Its not your sexuality that saves you, but your faith and trust in Christ. Read Psalms 118:8.

mate! you are beautifull human being. Your honesty and trust to tell everyone you so private experience have really moved me. Thank you for doing this!
