Thanks so much for your support. I was pretty certain that I would get positive replies, and I did! I'm really glad I shared this, because I think its a source of anxiety for me. Don't get me wrong, I'm proud of who I am, its just all that negativity out there, and the gaybashing. It just makes me so angry. Plus, I'm an anxious, worrying person to start with, so all that homophobia thats crawling around out there doesnt help one bit. I get angry, then I'm terrified. Being gay itself isnt the problem, its the anxiety and paranoia thats coming with it...at least for me anyway. I havent really talked to any gay/lesbian people about this. Mostly, I'm afraid they'll just brush it off, like, "yeah, but i get over it"...I cant get over it. I obsess, I get anxious and I worry. I dont just worry about me. I worry about everyone else out there who struggles with their sexuality. I know, thats so much to take on, but I cant help it, I'm so sensitive. I want to be a part of that community so bad, but all it seems to do is get me all worked up. It stinks. But I have my family around, thank God! Plus I have an awesome T who is helping me with these issues. And, of course, I have you guys!

Thanks, again.
