For many individuals, living in a world that isn’t accepting or supportive may result in feelings of worthlessness and negative self talk and self image. Those feelings and thoughts can lead to depression, anxiety, self harm, thoughts of suicide as well as substance use. According to the American Psychiatric Association, LGBTQ individuals are 2.5 times more likely to experience depression, anxiety, and substance misuse compared with heterosexual individuals. *
