Hi, nite1tiger! It makes me sad to know that you've been going through a similar experience that I went through two years ago. I was suffering from a major depressive episode. I felt so low that I just wanted to die. I was also taking antidepressants. I, too, was confused with my sexuality. I attended the wedding of the person I was in love with at that time, so you can just imagine the pain that I was going through. I lost my job and I had to rely on my relatives' financial support for more than a year. All I can say is, everything will just pass. Everything will be okay. Be true to yourself and have faith in the Higher Power to make everything all right for you. The first thing you have to fix if you want things to turn around for you is yourself. And you must have a healthy love and respect for yourself. I'm okay now. I have found someone who makes me happy. I have a job that pays better than the one I lost. Yes, I am happy now. I look back at those dark years with gratitude for the lessons I have learned. Everything began to turn around for me when I began to take responsibility for the things that are happening in my life. Yes, I still have problems, but I am able to handle them well. We can't control everything that happens in our lives, but we can choose how to respond to them. And it's important to have a relationship with the Divine no matter what your religion or belief system is. And there's nothing wrong with being gay. Find people who will love you as you are and who will support you. My friends and family were a big part of my healing process. I couldn't have survived without their love and support. We really need to allow ourselves to be loved by the people around us.
