    I'm glad I have found this place. It is pretty lonely where I have been recently. I am 34 and finally accepting that I am gay. Phew! I've still not had the courage to tell anyone, barely even my therapist, although I am getting there... I know that the majority of my friends and family will be supportive but right now I just cannot get past the fear. Also, I know that I have a lot to do to come to terms with myself and deal with the many many years of suppressed feelings before I can face the reactions of others.

    Anyway, there are some amazing people here. I will keep reading to find strength and inspiration.

    Thank you all.

    Ruthy
