    I'm Dee and I just wanted to say hi c: I've just figured out that I'm lesbian and I guess I'm kind of relieved?? I finally feel like I understand myself, you know? Like I've never really connected with guys, I've never been interested. I always thought of the girls differently, but I thought that everyone thought like that so I didn't say anything. I have a bisexual best friend named Ella who I've known for years through a pen pal thing I was required to do in 5th grade. Recently we confessed that we love each other, and we're in a kind of it's complicated relationship (she doesn't want to do a long distance relationship, her parents divorced because of that) but we still talk about our feelings a lot...yeah.

    I have a very strained relationship with my parents, so I'm afraid to tell them about my sexual orientation. My mother constantly accuses me of lying and seeking for attention, even though she knows I have crippling anxiety/social anxiety and depression. I've been to the hospital for self harm, I've been (and I'm still on) medication, and I've been in multiple therapy sessions but she still refuses to believe that there might be some truth to me. My step dad and I barely talk, so I wouldn't know how he'd react.

    Enough of that sad stuff, though! I'm almost always available to talk and I'd like to try and make some friends on here (if you want to! uvu)

    Welcome to EC. It's hard when you don't have someone to lean on and share your troubles when you're feeling down. Rest assured there are lots of friendly people here who understand and would be glad to listen and give input. I hope you make many wonderful friends. (*hug*)
