There is a gay community center in Rochester called Gay Lesbian Community Services Of Southeast Minnesota (http://www.glcsmn.org). They should be able to help you find a support group and they probably have a list of gay-friendly doctors and therapists.
In a support group you will most likely find other guys who are going through the exact same thing. You end up helping each other just by sharing the same experience.
Your doctor can diagnose whether you are clinically depressed. There are many ways to treat depression. In my case, it’s a chronic condition and I am on medication for it. Depression can be very debilitating because it robs you of both the energy and the desire to take action. In cases it can lead to other medical problems.
Rochester has a Metropolitan Community Church, Healing Spirit MCC (http://www.hsmcc.org). MCC congregations are comprised primarily of gay and lesbian people and are always warm and welcoming places. I met many of my friends at MCCs in New York and Connecticut. I also met my husband of 9 years there. It was at MCC where I got over my shyness because going to church is non-threatening and you can decide when and how you want to get involved.
There is also an organization that provides services to gay youth, Rochester Area Gay and Lesbian Youth Services (http://www.gayyouthrochestermn.org). At 23 you are well past the age group they serve but they can probably tell you about other services in the area.
