Sorry to hear you're depressed and hiding your true self. ((hug)) I can relate.
I moved to the tropics last year, and here, pride "month" is actually pride week, in August. I'm not really sure that I should come out to my neighbors here, as this place is still sort of 1950's in its views on gender roles. A male friend recently apologized for doing dishes in front of me with, "sorry I have to do this woman's work."
It's hard settling into a new country, and I'll have to see how I feel when the time comes.
38yrs bi, but only about 6yrs proud of it. At least I can say that I'm happier repressed in the tropics than the US Northeast! ๐ณ๏ธโ๐
Hope things get better for you
