    Hi all :slight_smile: I'm very new to these forum things, and this community as a whole if I'm honest, but here goes.

    Basically I'm a girl living in Australia and I'm turning 18 in about a month. I don't know what the right way to put this is, but a couple of weeks ago I talked to my school psychologist about maybe being gay/attracted to women (I'm really not wanting to use a label yet). I don't know why but ever since I opened up to her, I've been having trouble thinking and I've been spiraling a bit, because I just don't know. And so, here I am!!

    I see this psychologist every week, but this is still something that takes up 80 % of my thinking. I'm hoping this is somewhere I can find some people to talk to anonymously. I'd really appreciate it.

    Hi Panda123... I understand where you're coming from. Once you take that first step it seems like that's all you can think about. I was the same way. It may have been building up inside until you finally let it out and then 'WHAM'... Give it some time to level out. There are a lot of people here willing to help.
