The more i read in this site the more I feel at ease. The whole aspect of coming out is a lot like when i first got diabetes , it controlled me, I ate what they told me when and how much, took my meds etc.....But no success. Until i took control like i did when i came out, i feel so much more at ease, sure there are hard spots, life is no picnic, as a diabetic or any other illness. Just remember its what you make of it , you control how you react, how you treat or respect others, how you want to be treated as a whole person not just another lost soul. Myself i find the community as a whole a very friendly and loving group....
