Hi. I’m very nervous but pleased that there’s somewhere I can go with what’s going on for me and realise I’m not alone… grateful
DaisyDoo.....Hello and a great big LGBTQIA+ welcome to Empty Closets! I can remember the first post that I made on EC. I was desperate for help and I got the help that I so needed. I hope that we can help you in the same way that I received help so many years ago. The most important thing to remember about Empty Closets is that we do care about you! There are a number of sub-forums here on EC...why don't you check them out and then feel free to join in the conversations! This is a safe community of caring and supportive people and we will do our best to help you blend into the community. You can ask questions in any of the Sub-forums by creating a new thread or by joining in a conversation-thread that is already going. You can also post a message on anyone's Profile Page after you have made at least ten posts yourself. If you have a question that is somewhat private you can always send a Private Message to any Staff Member. Normally Private Messages can only be exchanged between two Full Members, but a PM to a Staff Member is an exception. We are so glad that you have found us here on Empty Closets. …..David
Welcome to EC! Just like you, when I first joined EC, I was very nervous, but I have found that this is one of the least judgemental online communities I have ever been a part of. Here on EC, we are all either volunteers, people going through exactly what you are, or something in between, and the vast majority of us have firsthand experience feeling judged, so we understand how painful it is and do our best to make this a safe community for everyone
Welcome! My hands were literally shaking when I first came here and typed "I think I might be gay" I found it very helpful to read about other people's struggles and realizations here. We're all here to help each other!
Hey welcome to EC, @quebec doesn't everyone remember their first post . I know it can be super nerve wracking but everyone here is super friendly.
