Addressing Bisexuality Through Therapy
I'm 47 and came out to myself just a few years ago, but there are still issues I'm dealing with.
Though I'm out to myself, I'm firmly in the closet irl and so this has been quite a mental burden for me. I pretty much did the math, and I figure I would lose all of my friends and family if I were to come out of the closet. Because of my mental state, I find myself engaging in sexual behavior that I think is not healthy.
So, has anyone spoken to mental health experts about similar issues and had any success? Did it make you happier? Or are you in a better place now? I'm going to start seeing a therapist, but I just wanted some background on whether this would help, seeing that I've never spoken to one before. Also, if I were to tell anyone close to me I was seeing a therapist, I'd get awkward reactions, although I know it's nothing to be ashamed of.
