Its just been over a year since ive joined EC and ive learnt so much and grown alot since then, my life has been really incredible difficult from major depression as a kid and anorexia and it keeps going but even when i feel down i come here and talk to you guys and i feel better, your like the family i always wanted.
Its an honour to know the people i consider friends on here and i cant wait to get to know more of you, you are all incredible people. There have been some people who i have grown incredibly close to like Gerry who is the most incredibly amazing guy and Louise who has helped me through a shit time latley and who is like the mum i always wanted.
Also being gay i never thought i would but i married a woman heatqueen (hello dear wife)
Its hard trying to over come alot of things in my life but knowing all of you are here really helps.
At times i thought i would go crazy but you guys helped me out of it and im happy and i will be eternally greatful to you all.
I try and help anyway i can , giving advice and listening to people and trying to help or just being a mate.
The past year has been so amazing and i cant wait to see what the future holds.
I love you all and thanks
Ryan
