    Hi everyone.

    I just came out to my friend at work and I feel amazing!

    I've read about stories of people having to write it down and everytime I read one, I think that it's silly. But then I paniced and had to write it down...

    I was trying to tell her and I kept sputtering and my tongue went numb. She was worried and she ended up saying, "What's wrong? Were you fired? AM I FIRED!?!"

    Tension diffused!

    She told me good for me for stepping up and that she'd hate to have to say what I did.

    Next step: telling my mom...

    Congrats! It's always nice when you get some unexpected help from the person you're telling. When are you going to tell your mom?

    Thanks everyone!

    @TheAMan... I want to tell her asap but I'm having trouble bringing up the subject without it sounding like I just want to talk about me. Hopefully the next couple of days.
