    Hello! I am brand new to this whole thing, I'm convinced I'm gay after many years of wondering and ignoring it, it's becoming too much and has eaten at me every day for the best part of 4 years now. Hoping to find some reassurance and just nice people to talk to! This is nerve wracking

    Hello! Welcome to EC! I'm a lesbian. I love how you say "I'm gay" because I feel like too many people believe the word gay is only for males but it isn't. Gay just means same-sex love for males or females. If you wanna chat, you know where to find me!

    Wow!! Everyone is super supportive I think it's missing support that's been driving me insane, and being unable to speak to anyone. Thank you all for the kind messages it goes a long way for an anxious human haha! X

    I understand why you're nervous. I'm in the same boat; however it took me a lot longer than 4 years. I actually "shut down" for over 10 years to avoid facing that part of me. Only recently have I accepted it. Joining this site was difficult because it meant "accepting" it; and thus far I've seen that I am not alone.

    Can't give you any advice, but I can just let you know that you're not alone...many of us have similar experiences, which is rather reassuring. This proves that I am not crazy. Lol!!

    Welcome to the Family! :grin: (*hug*)




    Look out for the Wendigo. If they come at you, just shout "Booga-booga-booga!" It won't stop them, but come on, those are pretty great last words.
