I've finally done it!

[Silver]

Haha, I finally get to post one of those "hey, look at me, something good has happened!" threads. This is great.

Anyways, lately I've been pretty depressed/stressed because of the dysphoria. So my boyfriend noticed, and after much walking and depression and "don't you trust me?"s I ended up coming out to him. Well, that ended with lots of crying and my father drove by and stopped to ask what was wrong. Said I was fine, and continued on. Boyfriend took it really well, no problem. Real nice guy.

I guess my father told my mother that I was crying and she was concerned. I don't know about her, I'm pretty worried. So I ended up taking a drive with my father and came out to him too. Also took it really well. Said that he noticed I'd been really depressed and fidgety lately. Really nice about it, we're going to find me a therapist now. We're both unsure of how to tell mom. Eh, maybe in time.

Anyway, the reactions are great and I might be able to deal with this problem now. I was worried I'd get horrible reactions if I came out but now I wonder why I hadn't done so sooner. Actually, it's probably good I waited because I now have the stress/depression to back me up and make it seem like a real problem (which it definitely is.)

Woo!

I'm very glad that things turned out so well for you.  It is wonderful to have that kind of support.

[Just Kate]

Wow!  What tremendous news!  The courage it took to tell your boyfriend is more than commendable.  I really hope the best for you, especially as you come out to your mother. 

[VampyreAri]

Yay! Awesome and congrats! Horray for positive and supportive results so far! And good luck with your mum too.

[Silver]

Thanks everyone! Maybe I'll get around to telling her tomorrow. Oh, and happy Valentine's all.

Excellent news! I hope your mother takes the news O.K. Do you think your father will tell your mother?

Now that the heavy burden has (partially) been lifted you can move forward into whatever you need to do.

[Lachlann]

That's good to hear.

Hey, that's great news!  Congratulations. 

[Teknoir]

That's great. Hope it all works out with your mother when that time comes. At least you've got your boyfriend and your father on your side - you won't have to handle her alone.

Update: Told my mom last night.

Mom's have a way of asking lots of uncomfortable questions. Anyways, went to bed. Cried. Was apparently heard. I thought I was being rather quiet. After plenty of explanation I got to sleep at like four in the morning.

She does not neglect to remind me constantly that people's minds change and that she went through a similar phase. But luckily, she is very in favor of therapy so that I can find out what I really want to do and not jump into this and cause permanent damage to myself if I find this is not for me.

So yeah, now I'm just waiting on the insurance guy to call and tell us what therapists are covered. Hoping for the best. Not looking forward to explaining to mom that I know all about sex and all that . She's conservative and I supposedly don't know anything about it. Meh, more important issues are at hand, right?
