Well today I finally bit the bullet and came out to my friends and family on Facebook its a move I have been thinking about for 6 months and to be honest I was really surprised with the response, the amount of replies I recieved assuring me that I have their total 100% support was surprising to me but accepted and appreciated. It is like a great big weight has been lifted off my shoulders and I can now just be me freely without having to hide things all the time and my disphoria screaming to be set free.
This move came about when the other day I found myself in my room crying and in a deep depression contemplating suicide from the continual stress and anxiety of hiding so much from those ppl I love, doing that has only ruined my life and hurt ppl around me that I care about.
Now that I know that I have support from ppl close to me and friends from Susan's I feel I can now move forward with my life not having to worry how to cope with my identity.
