I am new to this forum, and I plan on being semi active while I consider my CTB method. I wanted to share why because I find it therapeutic to do so.

TW for homophobia and sexual assault


I was born and raised in a muslim country. I was also relatively feminine since a young age and knew I was into men since 12.

As you can imagine, despite having a wealthy family that sent me to boarding school, endless vacations, etc, I still had a difficult childhood.

I was lonely throughout middle and highschool, including bullying and was once beaten by my brother for "joking" that I was gay . My family, friends, extended family etc were all homophobic as well. I had to become masculine to socially survive and participate in their jokes as well.

I grew up memorizing the Quran, praying, etc so imagine how difficult coming into terms with my identity was. I truly do believe I am going to hell and I'm scared.

I love my family - they raised me well, were always nice to me, etc. But if I were to ever come out, it would cause a huge fight and likely cut me off.

Anyway, this compelled me to study hard and immigrate. My parents paid my tuition and I got the chance to move to Canada at 17 alone. At the start, I had a lot of hope.

I took the chance to explore my sexuality since I never had even my first kiss (illegal). My first experience at 17 was a much much older man (+40) who removed his condom without my consent. Awful, but it didn't destroy me. What hurt was that 2 years later, I was catfished + held down by another man. I tried to push back/get up a little but when he forced me down, my mind went blank and I "took it." He then kicked me out of his house at 2 am. I went to the hospital after because I was terrified of HIV, and had a rape kit done on me. I refused to press charges because of how scared I was of my name being in the court system about this. I refused counselling and did not tell anyone about this.

My ex girlfriend also threatened to out me to my parents (she knew I was bi and had proof of me being fruity) when we broke up. She had their number and I was vacationing back home where I genuinely started fearing for my life. I developed anxiety after this.

I abstained from sex for a year (where we're at today) and have developed intense self hatred, insecurity, envy, anger, and now depression.

I feel captive to my own brain. I never consented to being gay. I'd give anything to be normal. A straight man would not have been held down and raped like that. A straight man would've been normal, had male friends, not stressed if his sexual desires would cause him to be ostracized.

At this point, I hate my existence and life. Even though I am now in Canada, probably the best country on earth to be gay, I am tooo fucked up to ever be happy. If I chose to come out, I'd lose all the people who love me. I never learned how to make friends as a kid. And why would I do this? Being gay has only brought me bullying, misery, and being raped. Being into dick has made me so miserable I have started self harming. I hate it so much.

Or I could continue remaining closeted and grow up miserable and regret this when I'm older.

I can't take this anymore and thus I'm planning my CTB.

Though I'm not gay, I understand what you're talking about; if you weren't who you are, you wouldn't have the issues you do. I also struggled to make friends in school, and I still do, but if I were you, I would just try to take things slowly. You can't change who you are, but hopefully you can change what you do. Good luck!

We're on the same boat then. I lost people's trust in me in high school for being outed as lesbian. Well, shit. It's not like I'd fuck every girl I see. I don't know what the fuck is wrong with people. In the big 2017 and still, being dead was better than being a carpet muncher.

I've never been sexually assaulted physically and verbally throughout the time that I spent identifying myself as a lesbian. My family is neutral about me liking women.

I'm so sorry that this has to happen to you. I really do. In my country, queers being raped is considered a funny joke. I can't fucking believe my eyes and ears sometimes but people are this hateful towards us.

Take this with a huge grain of salt but now that you're in Canada, find others who are just like you. I don't think it's hard to find queers who have been abused since... that's what being queers cost us--our life.

If you must cut your family off, just remember that you're an adult now and your life should not be determined by them anymore. Find people whom you can properly call "family" in this foreign land.

As for your sexuality, no, I don't think being gay causes you pain and sorrow. You just happen to be in the wrong time with the wrong people and again, I am very, very sorry for what has happened to you.

You were trying to be open with your true sexual identity and got shitted on by the universe for it. And please, this also doesn't translate as a warning from Allah that you're doing things wrong as His follower either. His creation is just that vile. Humans are just that evil. He would shelter you and teach you in ways that do not harm you, I'm sure of it.

I hope that you get to try therapy and unpack all of these emotions you have compartmentalized for so long so you can really make a clear decision on what you want to do in your life.

Don't die yet. Come vent whenever you'd like here. We'll try to comment on your threads 🫂
