I came out to my mom today after about 8 years of wanting to. But I have a question...

COMING OUT

Sorry for a slightly long post.

I finally got the nerve to come out, I knew she would be fine with it and everything i was more just concerned it would change something about how she saw me that I couldn't undo.

When I finally gave in and told her I was super happy to come out and she was great but then almost right after the anxiety set it.... I feel more anxious now than I did before. Knowing that i cant take it back and she might be fine now but later something about how close we are might change.

She's being so normal and agreed not to talk about it too much because i found the discussion very awkward. which is fantastic but i guess I'm just worried that wont last?

Also The main reason i came out was because i thought she might suspect and i was afraid of being outed accidentally and wanted to tell her flat out, though she said she didn't suspect. which made me feel even more like this might have been a bad idea to begin with.

I've seen people mention things like this before on here a long time ago, does anyone know if this feeling subsides or does it stick around?
