Recently, it dawned on me that some of my anxiety might stem from a need to truly acknowledge and accept myself. I tried discussing this with my counselor but it lies outside of his professional experience (and, apparently, his comfort zone). So I searched for online support groups and stumbled upon this forum. Needless to say, I'm extremely new to the LGBT scene and somewhat unfamiliar with online forums in general. I lurked here for a couple days beforehand, and I found the positivity to be quite refreshing. So, um, here I am.
