Help, I feel backed into a corner, do I need help?

Oh boy, do I have an answer for you. First, the potassium problem. It runs in my family. Solve it the way I do, by taking one or two potassium tablets every day. Don't get carried away, you don't need more than that. Or, do what my son does, eat a few soda crackers. Also, a banana, an orange, also are helpful. So, that's easily solved. Now about being gay. My daughter and (ready for this?) my husband are both gay. And yes, I knew when we got married he was gay but that was way back in the 50's and I just figured we'd work it out. Well, there are many people out there who are gay and feel just as lonely and confused as you do. You need to go to places where gay men congregate and find a partner but I have to warn you, there can be danger in that so use your common sense and be careful. Your age has nothing to do with it. Look around in college for a gay youth organization or try the churches. There are gay bars everywhere but I don't recommend them - mostly not as desirable men there. You could get on the computer and meet some people that way. When my husband decided to come out, that;s what he did but I felt that was way too dangerous and I don't recommend it. But you could get the computer to tell you where any gay organizations near you are. So, you need to search, but do it carefully. My husband suffered all thru his married life and tried suicide several times and trust me that is a stupid thing for any good person to do. Finally, at age 65 he began meeting men and going to motels for one night stands but finally he found one man who was right for him and although we are still married, he and his friend live together and and very happy. It is too complicated a story to tell you about why we are still married except that at age 75, we do fine as good old friends and get together for family events and other things. I tried many times to convince him through all the years to leave the closet but he never would - mainly because his parents and brother wouldn't have accepted it. My daughter went the modern way and found her partner after a few bad mistakes with other people, both men and women, but now they have been together for 15 years and are very happy together. Don't expect to find your true love right away. It takes some searching and I think is a little more difficult for gays but you will find someone. I wish you luck and success - your whole life waits out there for you and you will do fine. Just hang in there and do what I said. And, stop worrying your mind about being gay - things are better for gay people now than they used to be. There's more acceptance - not 100 percent yet, but getting there.
