Hello advicenators, I am a 15 year old male and have struggled with self harm for 4 years and various eating disorders and I think I may be gay. Yes that is quite a handful of things, but I am bulimia binge free for 3 months and haven't cut for 6 days ( after a 3 week clean). I'm frustrated about my sexuality in general and feel different in the backwards little town I live in. I honestly just want to cut and fall asleep for a while and wake up and know for sure if I will be accepted and if I am more than bisexual. I grow weary of all this uncertainty, but I understand how there is no 100% way to know at my age. My mother knows, and she has been making offensive jokes about it and sneers at the very fact of it all... I want this to stop more than anything.(I am on Zoloft by the way for
depression)I used to go to counseling. I want to be on for five fucking minutes for once. That is my plea for help, and I'm not sure if anyone will even read this let alone have any solutions for my questions.should I be in counseling again, and is there anyone out there I can trust enough to let them help me?

Hi, I've read your question and I'll try my best to help you. Here's how I see it:
You say that you're not sure of your own sexuality (whether you're gay or bio). That's perfectly fine, many people don't know until they find that person who's right for them.
You talk of acceptance. Many people cannot understand that some people have different sexual preferences and no matter what you do or say they wont understand. So don't bother. Having different sexuality is a challenge in today's society so you must learn to be proud of it and ignore those who don't accept you. You say your mother is making fun of your sexuality, talk to her (tell her that you too have the right to be happy, after all everyone deserves to be loved). She as your mother will one day understand.
About self harm. Don't do it. I know that you think that it is the only way out but trust me it isn't. Find alternative ways of dealing with difficulties in your life (you could try running/exercise-it helps you to get rid of those emotions that are trapped inside you). About the eating disorder-fight it I know you can.
And finally remember be yourself. Those who love you will love you for who you are. Don't change yourself just because some people treat you differently/unfairly/or dislike you (they're not worth your attention).
Feel free to contact me. Your story moved me so I'll be here for you if you need me. My email is:
