    Hiya! Just wondering if there are any fellow grad students on here - let's commiserate! I have a bunch of assignments to grade and I'm procrastinating big time on here :upside_down:

    Anyone else experience figuring out their sexuality in grad school? My department seems pretty accepting and has a queer group but I'm still too nervous/unsure/closeted to join...

    I figured mine out when I was in grad school. Made for a very emotionally draining year. I got nothing but support when I came out from both my peers and the faculty, which was nice. I ended up leaving my program for other reasons a year after and am so glad I did

    Haven't logged on in a while, thanks for your reply! Glad your peers/faculty were supportive. I feel like I'm spending too much mental effort on this to the detriment of my ability to focus on school, hoping that as I figure things out and maybe tell more people then things will improve...

    Yeah be careful. I think dealing with my sexuality was part of what burned me out.
