Hi BLgame,

I'm retired from the U.S. Navy, but I'm certainly not your typical "macho man." I'm gay, so concepts such as shame and judgment are not new to me. Furthermore, I'm nonjudgmental, so there's nothing you can say to me that's going to elicit an emotion of "disgust."

I've even called the Crisis Line myself (ends in 8255, please press 1--correct?). Hey, I'm going to send you a Private Message (PM) because I feel that would be beneficial.

Hang in there, my friend.
