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?

You should definitely go back to counseling. They went to school specifically to help people in your situation and really do want to help. So going to the professionals will be the right thing to do. It's really good that you want help. They'll probably also have some solutions on how to handle your mother.

Lots of people get made fun of who they are. It sucks. It's even worse when it's your own family. There are good people out there who won't judge you though, but there will always will be people who will be mean and hurtful. You just need to know how to handle it and not take it so hard.

I don't have the solutions to your problems but I do think counseling is the right direction.
A lot of people cut, that's one of the hardest things to stop. Just remember that it's usually impulsive. That feeling will pass. So when you feel the urge to cut, go do something else that you enjoy doing. Call a friend, watch tv, watch a movie, take a bath, anything you like.

Just keep your head up and go back to counseling.
