I wanted to come out and say thank you to everyone on the site that's been there for me. As most of you probably know by now, I am a very emotional person that has great difficulities with my transition- hell life for that matter. During my time here, many of you have helped me cope with it by just being a friend or trying to help me as best as you could. I really want to thank you all for that. To be honest, I really don't have a support system that's stable and don't really have many friends or people I can reach out to about this stuff IRL(at least I feel bad and guilty to bother the people in my life with this and thus avoid reaching out). My transition has been a very difficult, scary, lonely and confusing path at times. I just want you all to know that you've helped mitigate the struggles I've had or at least helped me cope with them. Its sad to say but without this support site, I really may not have made it this far, not just transition wise but life wise. Whether it was giving me advise or just allowing me a place to interact with other transpeople and/or discussing mundane things, this place gave me a spot where I felt I had a home when I've lacked one for most of my life. It's allowed me to find comfort in my condition and enabled me to continue on (even when my depression/dysphoria got very crippling and I was ready to call life quits). For that, I have to thank you all for that from the bottom of my crazy over emotional heart. And thank you for putting up with my sensitivity and emotions on here and not turning on me even when I probably earned that sort of response- I admit at times to being an unfair drama queen and really regret some of my behavior. While this has been an insanely emotional point in my life, it's no excuse for some things.
Okay, enough of my rambling, I just want everyone here to know how appreciative I am and want to thank you for helping me through all if this (and most of you have in one way or another). I needed to say this as I've been feeling saddened that I couldn't share these words with some people who most deserved to hear them before it was too late and don't want to make this mistake again as it hurts.
Anyway, thank you all. While I'm still going through a rocky time and having difficulties with my transition and finding meaning in my life, it's really nice to have some support through it all and you have my eternal thanks for that- you've all made this journey a hell of a lot easier.
