Hi everyone! I'm French and bi. I live in the US with my hubby, who is very supportive of me as a queer. Things have been a bit difficult for me emotionally this past year. I've developed some strong distaste for myself, and I guess I'm looking for a safe place where I hope to make new friends and hopefully regain my pride. I am only out to my husband and a few friends. It's been hard staying in the closet, and I'm not sure if that's been feeding into my self-hatred. Anyway, on a happy note, I went to Pride this weekend and it was awesome as always. I love our community so much! Thank you for having me on the site.
Welcome and thanks for telling us a little bit about yourself. Sorry to hear about the struggles of the past year, but good for you on going to Pride. It would have been so easy to stay in the rut and pass up the opportunity to go, but sounds like you pushed through it and as a further demonstration of that positive upswing you've now joined this forum. The process of self acceptance is sometimes difficult but we're here to help each other with it.
Thank you, Patrick! This Pride was outside my city, but in September, there is one in town, and I'm also going to that one even though I'm always worried about running into people I know. Last year, I ran into my niece who asked her mom why I was at Pride. LOL That was funny.
Bonjour! Welcome to EC. Posting in the forums can help alleviate the distaste you have with yourself. There are plenty of people here willing to offer advice on any issues you many be having. Hope you enjoy yourself here.
