Questions.

Hi everyone, I know I haven't posted much on here, so really noone probably even know's who I am, but I had a few questions.
I've kinda been "lurking" on the site now for about 3 or 4 months trying to take in as much information as I can.
Anyways, I have a few questions......I hope someone can help me out with this

1.) I want to come out sooo bad, but I'm afraid I'll be disowned...I live with my dad right now, while the rest of my family lives up North, so I suppose that could make things a little easier for the whole situation..But I have no idea how to bring it up to my dad first...*blush*
I'm so nervous, scared, ect...I think about teling him EVERY day, but never find the courage to do so...

2.) I'd like to start seeing a therapist and hopefully get on HRT. I know the price probably varies all over the place, but I was wondering if someone could give me an estimate of how much this costs...I suppose I should probably be seeing a therapist, and have him answer this question...But right now I'm not, so any information would be helpful..

3.) I'd like to start thinking about getting laser surgery on my face, but have no clue to begin where to look..I live in Southwest Florida right now, so if anyone reads this that is remotely on the same coast of me in Florida, and have any information about somewhere to go around here to look into this, I'd apperciate it greatly..

Thanks to whoever for reading this, I'm sorry if these questions are stupid one's, but I'm just a scared 20yr. old girl trying to begin her life, and have noone else to ask/talk to about it.

Anyways, thanks a bunch I'll look forward to hearing back from you.

Hey Monica! Welcome to Susans! I'm around your same age(22) so I could relate to a lot of what you said.

There is a wealth of information on the forums. You're definatly started in the right direction! I encourage you to keep talking about how you feel in a safe place (the forums are GREAT for that). It's been my experience that finding a safe place has been a good starting point. After that, everything else sort of "clicks."

Keep posting here! If one person can't answer a specific question, there are hundreds more that can.

It's good to see you, and keep coming back!
