I have been going through a lot of changes in my life at present, and some days I have a hard time coping. With another turn over at the mental health department where I have been going to therapy for the past 5 years, I was quite apprehensive. I would like to thank this community for accepting me for who I am, and not passing judgement. This is my safe place. This is where I belong, so thank you.
Mystic flower.....I'm very happy that you feel welcome and comfortable here on empty closets. For so many of us in the LGBTQ Family having a "safe" place is so very critical...and often very hard to find. I'd like to encourage you to take time to reply to posts here on EC where you feel that you can encourage and support others. So very often in helping others, we help ourselves! .....David
Hi Mystic Flower Were lucky to have you in this community. I'm a bi/gay male. I have grown up around mental health. My dad's bipolar, mum depression, my daughter ADHD and anxiety. If you ever want to talk please contact me or others in the forum.... Rade
I love this forum it’s starting to feel like a second home for me. Everyone has been so supportive and kind.
Rade I just came home from a trip for the long weekend and I feel somewhat refreshed. It was good to get out of my hometown and spend some time in the city where there are more diverse people. I went to see two movies at the theatre and it was good not to be distracted from the every day hustle and bustle. How is your week coming along?
Hi Mystic flower I'm glad your feeling refreshed. Going away even if it's not far can do alot of good. My weeks been ok, been working which has its stressful moments. But it's nearly the weekend. I have good and bad days, running really helps me . It lowers my stress and helps me refocus. I feel empowered after a run. Coming out has been hard and if I'm honest I just want the year to end as I know next year will be better. Keep in touch Rade
I'm so grateful to come across this site. I found this site right at the time when my mental health had hit rock bottom and I'd become completely hopeless. At that time, This site made me feel positive about myself but then I'd to leave this site for a few months because I'd started working on my mental health issues and got very busy in other activities. But now, I'm back here and ready to help other people. This is definitely a happy place!! Thanks!
