I agree! Finding a group of people who have some of the same concerns is a great idea.
Are there any support groups in your area? Whether they are mental health or gay oriented really doesn't matter in the beginning, at least you will meet people with some of your same issues. Although, if you live in an area that is really anti gay area, you may want to be careful about which groups you join. Really unfair, I know.
Look for PFLAG, which I believe is an international group in support of gay and lesbians, along with their families. It is a very good group here in the states.
Keep posting here too............ We are a great group of supportive people also!
