Hi

[sarahm]

Hi peoples.

I'm an MTF (20 Years old From Australia)
Umm. I've stumbled on this site doing a google search to learn how to make my voice more feminine. And finally, I have found a TG forum. You'll see me around from time to time, reading other posts, and the occasional comment / question. With any luck, I can improve my life to the state that I can actually stand it, rather then act to everyone around me. And to get out of constantly uncontrollable euphoria and depression (Really good Ups and Really bad Downs) None the less, I have been seeing a shrink for over 6 months now, and am at the stage of coming out of the closet to my Family and Friends. I understand that it is a long and tiresome process but once I can speak to my Dad about it, I believe I could tell ANYONE! (Right now, I am having mild panic attacks at the thought of telling my Dad... Although I don't know why, I guess it's the thought that he will never accept me again)

None the less, I will be on here from time to time, feel free to send me a PM and whatnot =]

Thanks for the welcome Jess!

You said you were 5 weeks on HRT... May I ask,
What does it feel like to you? The changing hormones? (Sorry... I have always wondered what it feels like) I imagine what it might feel like, but I don't know. I may be completely wrong lol. =]
