How to make myself feel better?

I just came out to my mom a few hours ago. She couldn't be much more accepting, and doesn't even mind. But right now, I feel VERY depressed and bad. I just don't know what to do...I just want to end feeling like this. I wish I never came out now.

Update:

Thats the thing, I don't know why I feel like this. Maybe I am secretly thinking to myself that she won't be comfortable around me anymore or she might tell everyone. I just don't know...I feel horrible. I just want to put a end to the day.

    well this s an extremely hard thing to do.... you were probably nervous in the first place so yu have alot of that feeling left over i can imagine... its probably everything going through your mind..... if you relax... idk just lay down a few mins get some water w/e, and just relax let everything out if your mom was really that accepting she must have been holding something back and your probably wondering what shes thinking, and the same for her...again mabey just relax i guarantee you she will want to talk to you just a little more to say its ok to be gay and it all your life and decisions.... ya know that stuff....

    feel free to email me...

    hope this helped

    Why not? I mean if your mom is ok with it I don't really see the problem. Could you give us a little more detail as to why you're feeling this way?

    I don't think she will tell everyone. Just ask her to keep it between you two unless you personally feel like telling someone else. Just have a talk with her and tell her that you want her to think of you the same way before she knew you were gay. Spent some time together, even if she did care, eventually it wouldn't matter as long as you guys have a strong bond and she'll realize that. All parents do. It might take longer than you'd like, but she'll warm up to the idea. But to me it seems like she is fine with it and doesn't have a problem with it at all.

    Joshua, I'm pretty sure you have nothing to feel bad about. If your mom was completely accepting of the fact that you're gay then you have nothing to worry about! Just take a deep breath, a warm bath, drink some milk, go to sleep, and when you get up in the morning you'll feel better. Your mom and you will still be the same, and who knows, maybe she already knew. Coming out is a very difficult time in life and at least you got it over with.

    I wish you luck! (:

    if your mom accepts you decision that that means you have great support of making own choices, believe me its could of been alot worse..to me it sounds like it may take some getting uses to cuz now you and your mom is consciously aware of the subject being open and you maybe wondering how she's really thinking about this to herself.. cuz maybe she thought of u as one way and had some different expectations for your future...but I think you should be a lil more open slowly about it in ways that makes her understand your choice of sexuality rather jus telling her and leaving it be...what i mean is sometimes when u get in depth with things..and i don't mean in detail ...it helps people to understand more and become more comfortable with the situation,,,jus try it slowly...and give it sometime your just not use to her knowing the truth

    Joshua,

    I strongly believe that you will feel different very soon.

    Coming out is one of the most important things to do. You are being honest to yourself and honest to your environment. From now, you will be able to see who are your true friends and relatives, and who are not.

    You have done something very brave and you will see the fruits of it, that I promise.

    At least I am proud of you
