Hello

[Nixish]

I was going to introduce myself first before I made a post on these forums; but when I was looking last night and saw someone asking for some help finding a doctor in their area I just had to say something.

So here I am now and I guess I'll say a little something about myself.  I was born a boy 22 years ago and lived in New England up until about 1 year and 4 months ago when I moved to NC in the hopes of finally finishing college, among other reasons.  I have had a feeling that there was something not right with me my whole life but I have tried to ignore it, blame it on something else, or figured that there was nothing that could be done about it anyway.  I was having very limited success doing this and a few weeks ago that tiny little voice in the back of my head that I had been doing my best to ignore suddenly got very loud and said something that I couldn't ignore.  I started to cry because that voice was right and I finally had to do something about it.  I realized that I was on the verge of taking what is probably one of the biggest steps on the path of my life, and I was going to do it as the wrong person.  I came out to my mother a couple weeks later, and she told me that she would help me anyway she could.  I consider myself very lucky to have her for my mother.

That's my little story, it's not much but it will have to do for now.  I hope to enjoy my time here and make some new friends.

Hi Nixish

A hug and warm welcome to you

Welcome, Nixish.

You are lucky, indeed. My mother's reaction was to say that she never wanted to see me again.

Welcome to Susan's Nixish,

I'm very happy that your mom is so supportive and caring about you. Such a great thing when that happens; many people seem to get the opposite reaction from family. Give her a hug for me, and here, have one for yourself!

Please take some time to read The Site Rules and on The Main Page you can discover Links, Chat and Wiki for your use as well. You might also want to go to the "Announcements" section and read the two posts "Post Ranks" and "Reputation Rules" to help you with some knowledge about when you can apply your own avatars, PM, and what those lil stars mean beneath all of our names and how to get them for yourself as well!!

I'll be looking forward to seeing you around the board.

Your mother sounds great, I can only hope mine will be that supportive someday. I wish you all the best!

You are so lucky to have a supportive mom.  My parents didnt understand at all or my life would be very different now. You will just love this web site. I have made many friends here to help me on my journey.
