Happiness ---> Only two potential answers

[cindybc]

Hi Audry sweets, Goodness I missed you girl. It's nice to hear all the good news about your family's acceptance. I am so happy for you, this news is quite awesome. I have met a couple of other folks here whose parents are also supportive of them. That is just so wonderful, it should be that way for everyone. Well we can only pray that it becomes so.

After realizing how much pain is going to be involved in my future transition, and the fact that I seem to have wasted so much of my childhood on the wrong side of the fence, no...

A year ago, I knew exactly who I was, but I didn't know what a TS was or that I could get help. By accident, I found the medical definition of TS, and now; I was taught to self inject my estrogen, I'm seeing a wonderful therapist weekly, I'm actively planning my post SRS goals, and for the first time in my life, I really have a reason to live. This is in sharp contrast to last year, when my retirement plans centered around my desire to drink myself to death!

This is the first time in my life, after about the age of 16, that I can describe myself as both happy and optimistic!

Hi tylerMTF hon, welcome to Susan's. I do pray that you will find the answer you seek in this group. 

April, your story sounds so very familiar and similar to mine, it can be a journey of discovery and learning, then the journey begins in Ernest. All I can say is retirement sucks so I have resumed working in the community doing what I can to do my part giving suport to our sisters in the community.

Happy's a lame word for me.  Overjoyed is more like it.

I said no.  I am still not full time as I want to be but that is in the hands of others right now( i.e. Work has not gotten back to me yet ).  I would have put contented but you didn't allow for the choice, Meghan.  I am more happier inside now than I even have been.  My Mind is at peace,  but I am a bit impatient.  I will be alot happier as I more forward thru transition.
