Other girls

[rylielove]

As much as watching other girls transition videos or pictures has given me motivation and inspiration in the past... Right now all it seems to do is stress me out and give me anxiety about my own transition.  I feel like I've wasted so much time... I'll hopefully have hormones tomorrow at my dr appt but I won't be able to take them until I've stored "my boys".  I can't escape this stress and anxiety about transition.... It's painfull I hope hormones calm me down


Sorry, I'm real whiney right now

Don't look at them then 
When something is causing you anxiety, avoid it.

I can vouch for this.  I get very depressed when I read about another girl going in for SRS, so I generally avoid looking at those threads, except to say "Good luck" and then never say another word.  You own transition is your alone, enjoy it.

i know i know i know... im just stressing out about traveling home and coming out to all my friends and family this weekend and want it to be in the past

If I get depressed when reading people's stories, I always look for some positive stories of people far older than me. Without meaning to sound disrespectful, I figure if somebody many years my elder can pass so well, I must be able to make it work even if it takes that many years to get there.

if it helps at all, I'm in a similar position, I really have to come out to everyone as I have already started hormones! I've only told my mum so far!

Good luck

Coming out is hard, I have had to come out to my immediate family, extended family and my closest friends. None of it was easy, there's always a feeling of awkwardness, "Do they accept me? Do they think it's just a phase or a joke?". Many things go through your head, and yeah it's hard. But when you have the feeling of just being able to be yourself in front of anyone, it's truly blissful.

I've been FT for over a month now, hormones for 3 months. I have not looked back or had any doubt in my mind at all, that what I am doing is right, and the only way I will be able to live my entire life.

Good Luck, keep calm and try to not let initial reactions bother you.

I know how you feel. I can't go out without comparing body types and wondering how the "femones" will take on me. There are times when I think, "Will I be as pretty as them?" I'm around 6 feet, so I am constantly looking at taller girls and looking at their features and body types too. But, as I continue looking I see many women that are close to even my Manly shape...broad shoulders,and no waist. Still, I want to be as shapely as I can be and as feminine too. I'm sure you feel that way at times. It's hard not to pay attention to others and compare. I have been trying NOT to do that anymore and it has helped. In the end I think it's just natural even for a Ggirl too.
But you see, you have us on here to vent too right? That alone can help a ton.
HUGS!
