just saying Hi, I'm back I guess
Hi All,
I discovered this site a few months ago or so, during a deluge of memories and realizations.
I posted "part 1" of my story, got some good feedback (thankyou to those who pm'd and responded).
I put off writing part 2 because it seemed too hard to write. I went back into the land of denial (I know, it ain't a river in Egypt), but I guess that's been my coping strategy so it was easy to fall back into.
Anyway, recently I came back to the site, posted "part 2" in the Gay Survivors section. I've decided I need to find a therapist, try to work on getting better instead of just staying the same. Not sure how I'll find a therapist and pay for the help, in the meantime I try to check in here regularly just to sort of stop all that self-downing self-talk.
I just wanted to say "hi" and to thank everybody for their support. This site helps me realize I'm not alone, not crazy, and maybe things can get better.
