    Its been awhile since I’ve been on here. Nothing has happened. I struggle daily if I made the right choice to come out. Even with everyone being supportive. I have gotten information of a few support groups. I just haven’t ventured out there yet. I don’t know what’s stopping me. Maybe because it makes it very very real? So I decided to come back to EC so I can get some sort of support and be okay with who I am. Sometimes when my mom mentions it I feel weird, like I almost forget that I am gay. Anyone struggle with this?

    Hi, welcome back. :slight_smile:

    Do you feel uncomfortable with the idea of people knowing that you're gay?

    I've not come out, so I don't think I can really help. Perhaps join a LGBT group centred around a particular activity, so the focus in on the activity rather than the LGBT part. It might help you get used to it.

    Hopefully someone will be along with some other suggestions. :slight_smile:
