I just wanted to thank the people of empty closets (I've been on a bit of a break, but a good one!). When I first joined EC I was confused and suicidal. Emotional eating, grades dropping, family worried. Not only have you guys helped me with finding my orientation, but you brought me out of a suicidal state of mind. It was here that I built the courage to come out in front of 400 people. 400. I owe my life, literally, to this forum. What have I been doing since I was gone? I have been working on grades, eating healthier and working out. I can now proudly say I'm a gay, 160 pound (20 pounds lighter!), stable, A/B student and I could not be happier. (&&&)
I second that!!! I can not imagine the amount of courage it took to come out in front of that many people. YOU ROCK KID!!!
