    Hi,my name is Brittany and I'm new to this site! I'm bisexual and recently came out about 8 months ago. I have always known I was attracted to women,but never could accept it until recently. I was with a man for 6 years and have been single for 6 months now. What inspired me to come out and accept this part of myself was when I started working on my anxiety and the root cause of it. My whole life I never felt comfortable in my own skin and I guess on a subconscious level I knew why. Growing up I was lead to believe that being gay was wrong. It's unfortunate,but that's what I was taught through religion,family,and society. I knew what I felt for women came from a good place,but of course I wanted to be accepted and I thought that those feelings would make me an outcast,so I repressed that part of myself. Ever since I came out my anxiety isn't as bad and I feel liberated! It's amazing how loving and accepting who you are can change your life! I came out to the people in my life that matter and I feel very blessed that they accept it and have been very supportive! I'm also grateful for finding this site and being able to share a little bit of my story :eusa_danc
