Hi, I am new to a this took me until my grand old age of 42 to realise that i am bisexual. I can't come out to my family or husband as they just won't understand. Does not help as i live with bad anxiety. Would like to meet like minded people.
Welcome to EC. You are definitely not alone as there are many members here who are in similar circumstances as your own. Take a look around at the forums and feel free to ask questions.
You’re welcome. There is an LGBT Later in life forum, a good place to get started. At times I have found it helpful to look through some of the older post and have found some that align well with my personal experience. When you are ready make a post or ask any questions feel free to start a new post.
Anxhelm.....Hello and a great big LGBTQ+ welcome to Empty Closets! There are a number of subforums here on EC...why don't you check them out and then feel free to join in the conversations! We are so glad that you have found us here on EC! .....David
Hi and welcome to the EC community. You have come to the right place to find advice for your current situation. There are a lot of great folks who can help give you great advice.
Hi @Anxhelm and welcome to EC. I’m sorry to hear about your current situation. I realised my sexuality when I was in my late twenties and in a long term heterosexual relationship. It was very isolating, but talking to people in similar positions here on EC really helped. I hope that you find EC to be supportive and helpful too.
Welcome to EC, @Anxhelm! You're certainly not alone in coming out later in life, and while I am a bit younger myself, there are plenty in the LGBT Later in Life forums who have walked a very similar path to your own. I'm sorry it feels so overwhelming and frightening. Are you certain they wouldn't understand, or is it the anxiety making you feel this way? Either way, there's no pressure to come out until you're ready. If/when that day comes, perhaps you'll have found all the insight you need from here to help you explain it in a way that they will understand.
Hello & Welcome! You have come to the right place. EC is full of people in many different situations and I'm sure you'll find the support and advice you need here. I am, like yourself a sufferer of horrendous anxiety. In a way, I've kind of taught myself to manage it to an extent but I know that at any point it could completely blow up! I can already imagine how your situation adds to your anxiety and it's never too late to learn about yourself. Keep posting in the different forums and I know you'll get lots of super help and advice. I've also seen a number of users on here who are in very similar situations. Sending you lots of love!! ...Amz... (London, UK)
