    Hey all!
    ive got awful insomnia tonight (as always) so i was surfing da net for support groups for lesbians and i came across here ;-)
    looks like a really friendly active forum ;-)

    Just to tell you a bit about myself, im a 31 year old lesbian from England, i came out around 2 years ago.
    Im happy and settled now; but it was the most awful traumatic experience of my life truth be told:tears: i had a breakdown from all the bullying and rejection of those that was closest to me...

    im still trying to come to terms with everything i went through when coming out.
    Would be great to make some more gay and lesbian friends & talk to anyone who has been through depression and can give me some tips t let go and look forward ;-)

    Just out of curiosity are there any others from the UK?

    Welcome aboard Freedomfighter from another UK member. :smilewave

    I hope you are recovering from the hurt and rejection after coming out. This is a good place to share your story, especially when you're not feeling too strong.

    Thankyou HM03 ;-)
    Awwe and thanks Linco, its a slow grueling process but at least im going up the hill not sliding down it, so when i reach the top i can see the full view of my new life from where il stand :icon_bigg

    I never thought coming out would cause as much damage as it did to me emotionally, but i regret nothing and i stand by that ;-) and yes i feel you are 100% right ;-) i joined nearly an hour ago and i feel like ive had more support in 45minutes on this site then ive had from anyone in my life the whole miserable two years. :eusa_clap:icon_bigg:kiss::smilewave

    Aww! Poor you =( I hope everything's getting better for you, anyways =) And well done for coming out! (Scary stuff, I know!) =)And yup, EC's a pretty kick-ass place to meet fabulous people, so you should definitely find the support you want here =) (I'm actually gay and have been through depression myself, so if you ever need anyone to talk to, I'm right here - and so is the rest of EC!) Good luck settling in =)
