Finding my Direction

Here is an update on what's been happenning in my life thus far...Now that I am fast recovering from that awful virus I had, I had an appointment to attended a lung and chest clinic last week where I was diagnosed as having stage 2 COPD, This has had an effect on me more than I thought it would in so much as re-evaluating my transition.

At the moment my head is just so full of doubt and thoughts about whether it is worth transitioning in the light of this information.

I am at this time no nearer any conclusion as to my next step, I don't want to fit in anyone's mold's of what they think a person should be. I am who I am, and I'm not sure what that is, but at the moment I am content in my confusion.

I am currently working on a plan to live my life as female full time, How long this will take is anyone's guess but being transgender is much harder than I had anticipated. I am currently stuck in a state of limbo in my transition, but I have made some serious decisions about what I want and need.

I know now that I do want to be female full time but I am quite unsure of what direction I am headed.

All of this coupled with stress of being restricted in my current personal situation and the financial worries has backed me into a corner. Is there a way out of this corner??, Is there light at the end of the tunnel?? (We will see)

Well I hope all this makes some sort of sense, I am sure I will get to go in the right direction eventually with all the support I have been receiving from my brother and other members of my family and of course my friends.

Take care my friends, love you all

Hugs

Im sorry you've been confused on soo many different things when it comes to transitioning. I think we've all been there at one point or another. One thing I took solice in, and a really important thing my therapist told me, is transitioning is a lengthy process. A lot of us see other trans people able to quickly go from step to step to step and it seems like they are fully transitioned and living in stelth in the matter of like 2 years (which is the minimum for most places and surguries i've seen). We each need to go our own pace so we can all be financially stable to transition and feel comfortable in our lives. I've talked to a few girls who always said that when they reach such and such stage in their transition they will feel better about themselves, but they don't cuz they didn't take their time to feel comfortable with the changes in their lives and telling their families and letting things have a chance to settle in.

There is a way out of your "corner", it just takes time to find it. I think if you plan out your transition and write it down so you can look at it and feel comfortable with it and not feel like its too fast or slow.

Cheer up girl
