Welcome

I'm new here and everyone who has had the kindness to give me feedback and share their stories with me has been extremely welcoming. I think this is a great, safe place to share your feelings and know at least one other person probably understands or sympathizes with how you feel. Not being alone with this really helps me, because aside from 3 close friends and my husband, I fear telling anyone else due to potential stigmatization or lost opportunities academically/professionally. I'm really thankful for this community, even though I only just joined.
