    Hello everyone

    Don’t really know what I’m doing as this is the first time I have ever done this. (Quite terrified tbh)

    So here it goes.

    Hi I’m Alice. This is not my birth name as I was born male but it is the name I have chosen for when I feel like a female and as that is why I am here I thought it right. I’m confused about my feeling right now and would really love to make some new friends that might be feeling the same as I do. I have tried to describe how I feel on my bio so if you would like to chat then please take a look or drop a message.

    I look forward to hopefully chatting to people and making new friends here.

    Thank you for such a warm and friendly welcome . I was unsure about signing up today but if everyone is this kind then I think I have made the right choice.

    Welcome to EC Alice!
    Glad to have you here, and im sure you will find lots of people who are going through or have gone through the things you are.

    This is my first time on a forum aswell, and so far i am really liking it. Everyone is so friendly and helpful, and reading about other people and their experiences helps me work through the stuff in my life.

    I hope you have as great of an experience as ive had so far, and im sure the EC community will be able to help you out.

    Thank you for the kind words and advice. This is all new to me and I felt so nervous when I joined but now I am starting to see that I had nothing to be nervous about. Everyone is so friendly.

    I would just like to say a massive thank you to everyone who has reached out to me so far. I started this week with some really dark thoughts and I just 2 short days I am already feeling like I am accepted.
