I have just come out as a lesbian what should I do?

First off don't panic.

Second continue to be yourself.

Third be surprised at how accepting many people will actually be. (if they aren't then come back and no doubt someone will tell you what to do then).

BTW where about in the world are you as this can have an impact.

Thank you for the advice. I live in Grays in South East Essex, England.

Not to bad then. At least people are reasonably open minded down there you should have no trouble.

How are you coping now?

Better, but to makes things more complicated I have discovered I am bisexual rather than lesbian. I still have to overcome my shyness.

Well, we're here if you need a shoulder. But do take DDs advice - be yourself!

Thanks for your helpful advice.
