Strangers on the internet would understand you better than a person trained to help people through rough times in their life, who you've talked to before and knows more about your life than said strangers?
Somehow, I doubt that. It's what's therapy is for. It might be difficult to do/say, but it's better than doing it here, on the internet.

Well my therapist isn't gay, I'm just scared I guess. That's the only word. I just don't know if she can help me, or if she'll understand where I'm coming from.
There's a phrase that comes to mind to answer why I posted here on FA, "I've always depended on the kindness of a stranger."

Any decent therapist should be able to put himself in your shoes. Your therapist can't possibly have lived every single experience you have; his job is to fill in those gaps with empathy and training. So even if he's straight, he should be able to imagine and respond to the needs of a bisexual teenager on the basis that you are both human and have a set number of responses (fear, anxiety, etc). Furthermore, concealing something this integral to your identity from your therapist will really waylay whatever else it is you're working on with him. In order to help you, a therapist needs a complete picture of your state of mind. Open up to him.
Seconded about the therapist. However, I've been told that it should be you yourself that thinks you have a problem and wants to talk to a therapist. When I was on ritalin, my doctor made sure I was talking to a counselor because of being diagnosed with ADHD. She did have me go into a group therapy, which I only remember bits and pieces, and that was interesting. The half of the things I didn't tell her or others probably set me back during those sessions, but she didn't ask me to talk about my parents being divorced as well, not that I could tell, even though it was a fact I'd put across and avoided talking about my step-dad. Hang in there though! Looks like you got a bunch of support. Don't know how things are going now for you...
