Scared and confused again

[Chrystal]

I am seeing a new therapist and have not yet talked to him about my gender issues becuase there have been more at-the-moment serious things I needed to talk about 

When I look in the mirror I am afraid of the changes that are happening in my body. It seems like puberty has finally kicked in to high gear now that I am 18. I am afraid that I won't be able to express my personality and emotions the same way as if I had a woman's body. Like no one would take me seriously. I'm afraid for the future  and so many serious things are going on right now "school, finding a job, ect." That I don't know how to handle things.

I'm afraid that if I truely am a woman, it's going to be too late to turn back soon. Ugh. I'm sorry I keep rambling about the same thing but you  girls can relate more than anyone.

You need to be honest with the therapist, hiding it is not helping them see the big picture if what you are dealing with. They are there for you.

It's never too late. But maybe now is a good time to broach the matter with the therapist, that's what they are there for after all!

Things can be very overwhelming at your age. You're right, there is a lot going in in your life mainly it's because it's the time where you are saddled with more responsibilities and shielded less from consequences. As an adult it is your life to live which means an awful lot of decisions and more stress. Hope it works out for you.
