Baby steps is the way to go IMHO. The spectrum is so broad and the options available to cope with being trans are nearly infinite. Just taking a baby step or two is all that is needed to make life enjoyable.

Good luck mate! And congratulations. It gets much easier. I was riddled with fear when I was in your position. Push yourself. It's very worth it.

Congratulations on finding yourself. Sounds very 60's hippy!
Someone here likened transition to crossing an ocean.  You can do it at a comfortable pace in an ocean liner, or flat out in a speedboat.  Main thing is to be comfortable in each step you take.
