Hi, I'm Throw!

I joined about a month ago and forgot to introduce myself.

So, a little bit about me:

I'm a 23 year old graduate student. I've been battling depression for close to 10 years now. Throughout my life, I've ignored/explained away any feelings that I've had for women. I've only started recognizing things for what they are (or might be) very recently. So for the past four months, I've been looking for answers. I re-entered counseling and I've scoured the internet for people who feel the way I do.

After two months of counseling and month of lurking around EC and the school's LGBT group, I am realizing that I've been looking for the answers to the wrong questions. I should focus less on the "Am I gay/straight?" questions and more on the "How can I love myself? What would make me happy?" questions.

So I'm judging myself less and just letting it be what it is. And the more that I learn about myself through counseling and learn about others by reading EC, the easier it is becoming to accept my feelings and be okay with them.

So thanks for all the help I've already gotten (some of my threads were anonymous) and hopefully I can help you all in return.
