    Hi everyone,

    I'm 29 and recently acknowledged/accepted that I'm a lesbian after many years of questioning and being in denial about my sexual orientation.

    I guess I just don't know what to do now, so I'm trying to connect myself with other members of the LGBT community. I'm still trying to wrap my head around everything.

    So, that's me. I was just trying to find a safe place to let myself be able to talk about this stuff.

    Welcome to EC! I noticed that your location is Cali, you should look up LGBT community's or groups there so you can actually go out and talk to people.

    Yea, I'm trying to. I don't actually live in Riverside, I live in an area in California that is actually anti-LGBT (believe it or not) but I am attending a church that is very inclusive and affirming, so that's kind of my community right now.

    I guess I'm nervous about actually "going out there" because I just feel lost about it all.

    What exactly do you feel lost about? (If you don't mind me asking)
    It's always nerve racking in the beginning but once you've given yourself time to adjust it all gets easier.
