You are a valuable person! Please, Please, give yourself a chance!
Suicide is NOT the answer. The common link among people who kill themselves is the belief that suicide is the only solution to a set of overwhelming feelings. The attraction of suicide is that it will finally end these unbearable feelings. The tragedy of suicide is that intense emotional distress often blinds people to alternative solutions, yet other solutions are almost always available. We all experience feelings of loneliness, depression, helplessness and hopelessness from time to time, and most certainly, being gay or lesbian is no reason to end your life.
