Hi Claire,
Welcome to one of the greatest families on line; Susan's.
I'm really pleased you have had such a good start to your journey. Your parents and sister are certainly exercising unconditional love for you, which is priceless in today's community. Plus you have accepted yourself without too much "rattling"; and you have a good therapist to boot. Good grief, all your ducks are lined up ready to be shot. That's awesome.
You have an amazing attitude already, that is going to take you places you never thought possible, to experience a life unimaginable compared to your present mindset. The post op girls here will inspire you to heights beyond your dreams, and it is pure reality.
Make the most of it, and don't give anyone permission to put you down, This is your life. Embrace it, enjoy it, It's the only one you'll ever have. Inspire the rest of us with your success.
Be safe, well and happy
Lotsa luv
Catherine
