    I just came out to my best friend less than an hour ago, and it felt SO good to finally tell somebody the truth! :slight_smile:

    She was really supportive, and told me that she actually suspected it! :astonished: I was a little shocked at that, but it was cool.

    Thank you EC, if it weren't for this place, that probably wouldn't have happened.

    I'm gonna go change my out status to 1 now! :slight_smile:

    It was definitely one of the hardest things I've ever done, even though I knew she'd be accepting. (I'm not her only gay friend) My heart was racing and my hands were shaking, but it was worth it, plus the closet is a little more spacious now. :slight_smile:

    Congrats! Having that someone as a support person when you tell others is such a blessing! It's a hard road but having someone supportive by your side who you can talk to about it makes a huge difference. :slight_smile:

    Ah, I remeber that rush of relief when I finally told someone, then the feeling exhausted. It puts A LOT of strain on the body to hide such secrets. Congrats! and I'm gald your coming out was a positive experience.
