Fairly new

[belle08]

Hi, I'm an 18 year old girl who's fairly new to the site, and I'm so relieved to see there's others like me. For years I've felt very outcasted and very few people know my 'secret', because this is hardly the sort of thing you can tell everybody about. Anyway, I'm about to finish my last year of college, so have a worrying summer ahead of invites out etc. I'd love people who are in a similar situation to get in touch!

Hey there. I am in college as well. Just finished my junior year! It was definitely relieving to find out there are so many people out there like me. You are welcome to send me a message anytime

Thank you both for the reply, I really appreciate talking to others about this! I was having a fairly bad day about it all yesterday, but feel better after a good night's sleep
I was back at college today, and someone was there with a bad, hacking cough which always worries me, but am definitely feeling calmer .
