I am sorry to hear about your situation. I can only imagine what you are going through , but you need to take some active steps to solve this problem. The job might actually help you give some space and confidence . Even if you don't do it well it's ok , start somewhere. And you need to consult with Psychiatrist to get evaluated for depression for your sadness . And start proper treatment. You don't need to tell anyone , you can opt for online consultation and having a mental health professional for support will be beneficial for you as well as make the process easier and faster.

Hi,
I can imagine your condition and the situation you are in to right now. I couldn't understand how you sexual orientation stopped you from joining a job. Actually it would be beneficial for you if you start a job as you will also get a timeout from your parents/family members. You can talk to me if needed further!
