@Former-Member - I've tried to come out to my family about my gender and sexuality and they just seem to be ignoring me. They say if I'm in the LGBTQ they won't support me and I'm stuck on what to do.
They are also not understanding of my MH.
What could I do in this situation?

@Fluttershy1 I'm really sorry to hear that your family aren't being supportive
In terms of what you could do - I'm not sure what I can reasonably suggest because I'm not aware of the particular details and circumstances of your life. My gut feeling is that you could benefit from an entire conversation to unpack options of what you can do (and the forums don't provide the best possible space for this), so QLife would be an option- they're available by call or webchat 7 days a week 3pm-12 midnight
Sending lots of support 🌈

Maybe hiding under your blanket and trying to get some sleep might help @Fluttershy1
