    There was few times I found myself on the site, looking for answers to questions and EC came up...

    The first time I was actually at school so I closed out before anyone got a chance to see EC's logo at the top - wohhh that would have been bad - to many questions that would have followed....

    It was a span of 2 months probable when I finally gave in and made an account

    I can't really say - I've been searching for a few years, and probably had found EC before I decided to sign up. But in my current incarnation of soul-searching, it was pretty much immediate. And now, thanks to EC (and my therapist), I've found myself, so there will be no more soul searching :grin:

    Whatever I googled about being LGBT kept on bringing me to EC, so finally, after running into it yet again,Ii thought "what the heck" and had a look around. At that point I was pretty desperate for answers, so on an impulse I made an account, figuring that I'd never use it. I'm still here today, although in the first few months I rarely posted, just... lurked. :slight_smile:

    I seem to be a lurker by nature... It took me forever, but I came around. Alot of the times I poke around posts before I realize I'm not logged in, and have been lurking.:lol:
