    Hey all, I just found out about this place a few days ago so I signed up. I'm a 21 year old guy from the UK. I'm not out, and not even sure what my sexuality is, though at the moment I think I might be gay. I've been struggling with it for years now and it's caused me a great deal of frustration and depression over the years, resulting in loneliness, low self esteem etc. I can't stand repressing it all and hoping it will go away anymore, so I thought I'd try deal with this. Hence why I turn to this site, it seems like a very supportive place, and being amongst people - atleast online - who are going through the same things as me will probably help.

    I want to feel happy again. I want to be comfortable with my life and not let anything control my life the way this has done. For too long I've been denying myself happiness, and I want to change that. The journey to finding out who I am, and hopefully being happy, begins now. I don't want to look back anymore.

    I look forward to being a part of this site, and discovering myself, as well as - if I can - helping others. Thank you :slight_smile:
