I'm tired of my parents being so religious. U can't come out and I'm tired of it. They drag me to a church that actively hates us and get pissed I don't like it. If I was put this would be worse probably. My mental health is going down the drain too. I literally just cut myself and I'm scared they will see the bandage. It just hurts that I can't be bi at all and I'm probably going to have to go deeper in the closet if I don't kill myself. I'm sorry I'm dumping all my problems idk where to go

It just hurts that I can’t be bi at all and I’m probably going to have to go deeper in the closet if I don’t kill myself.

I think you feel like you're not in control of your life. I was there.

In real, you can take control. Professional (and scientific) helps like cognitive behavioral therapy will show that to you.

In any case, it's no problem to be bi. There's a way to get out of this without harming your body. If you hesitate to meet professionals, there are self-help books like Feeling Good by David Burns, MD.

Your parents influence your feelings because they're parents, but they're wrong on this one.
