Been reading topic here for a while now, I have popped into the chat a discord a handful of times. Even though I have not directly interacted with the people of this forum you all have helped immensely in answering questions and helping to start easing my mind, so thank you all for that! I still feel a bit off balance with what's been going on in my head or where I will end up with this whole situation. Ending up now at age 30 and just now finally accepting that somethings been different in my head for years and never letting it really show through. Been married and have 3 children has allowed me to complicate my situation further. Again thanks to reading through here I was able to finally open up and talk with my wife as well as a select few family and friends which has dramatically helped me calm my mind. Now onto figuring out how to get around the anxiety of finding a therapist I'm willing to speak with, Wife is not broadly accepting and is unsure if she could deal with a transition but has actively attempted to compromise and participate in helping me deal with everything. All hope is not lost but life is turned on its head at the moment.
well, a bit longer than intended but look forward to trying to be a bit more active with the group.
