Life comes with its own share of difficult times.  And being gay adds that extra ton of difficult times in your life.  It is not easy being gay.  Often our problems keep us stressed, depressed and some of us have a tendency to hurt ourselves to get away from it all.

Life is precious.  Ask me and I would say that being gay has brought me some of the most fantastic moments, that my straight friends could otherwise only dream of.  But in difficult times, we tend to forget it and begin to believe that this life isn't worth living.  At such times, you need someone to talk to, someone to hear you out and may be remind you that life isn't as bad as we think it is.
