thanks. just living. I finally found a therapist back last August and have been going every sense. I found new way of looking at things. I began to pass but I did not even know I was for a long time. I was around to many negative people to see it. A guy was flirting with me but I thought he knew turns out he did not know. I pretty much own the public just as long as I dont have anyone with me that has trouble saying she and her. I took on a lot of bad info that has keep me things I dont pass. It has been a crazy stick my arm through the car wind to grab my check from ex wife thrown in reverse dragged down the road hanging off the door won't ever do that again good time.

Passing is such an ugly word. For me, its more important to be comfortable and happy with myself. I want to be pretty and I think I do a good job of it (I'm full time at work, home, wherever) but ultimately i boil down to the question "Do i feel happy about being me? Am I better person to be around as a result?" If the answer is yes, I could care less what others think about me. I know someone out there will love me for who I am, not what I look like.

Gotta tell ya, Jainie, looking at your avatar? Yep. You pass
Therapist helps, I've been seeing one for hmmm... I think it's seven years now.

@ ellie Thanks

@athena After going to my therapist and talking with her I found that most of my problems were my thinking. She asked me where do I want to be in five years. One of my answers I wanted to pass 100%. I found that this would come by changing my thoughts and what I thought would take five years happened in six months. I would have to say that you are right about being happy with yourself. I had a self image of what I used to look like and a self image of what I wanted to look like and an image of what I really look like.
