Coming out, sort of

[Rachel Ann]

I outed myself to my online depression support group forum today. This for a few reasons:

- My therapist says that Rick will never get anywhere working on his depression without including Rachel in the process.

- The administrators of the forum, who are good friends and good people, say the same thing.

- It will never make sense to come out to almost all of the people I now know IRL, so I'm doing it with one of my virtual communities.

It turned out to be a VERY long post! :p So far, so good. I don't expect acceptance from everyone there, but I doubt that those who are not accepting are likely to say much, if anything.

Good for you Rachel, that was very courageous. I wish Rick/Rachel the happiness you deserve. And just remember, we're always here for you.

Congratulations Rachel Ann!!!!!!

Rachel's a part of you, a good part at that. Hold your head high, Lady. If someone can't take you for who you are, they're not worth your time.

*BIG WARM HUGGLES* to you Lady!!!!!!!

Rachael, what you did took courage. Best wishes for more successes.

[Sharon]

I'm happy for you, Rachel.
I agree that it is important to be completely open about yourself in this regard, because it would be impossible to gain any valuable insight without full disclosure of who and what you are.
Good luck to you, Sweetie.:)
