Dear rainbowmystica:

There is always a price to pay for not being authentic, real. The more you practice being the “real you” the less angry you will be. Problem is when there are things about the real you… that you are not aware of or that you are not okay with, that causes conflict and distress.

When you came out as a lesbian, that was you being the real you. But there is more to you that you still need to express, to come out as. In other words, there are still things in the closet. Could be your anger at your mother. If you feel ashamed for being angry at her, that you shouldn’t but you still are…then that anger is partially still in the closet.

If you relate to things that need to be revealed and made known still in the closet, would you like to reveal them here, open the closet and let whatever steps out, do so?
