    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. :wave:

    Welcome to EC! Sorry to hear about your anxiety. I hope your presence on the forum and the people who end up chatting with you help ease that. And that you can find friends and support where and when you need it. If you ever need anyone to talk with, I'm around! c:
