Title: Doubt before transition
Post by: txwnl on October 05, 2013, 05:23:22 AM
A few months ago after years of cross dressing and feeling I was born in the wrong body I started to take steps towards my transition and feel really strongly towards transitioning. But now i'm back at my childhood home for the weekend and i'm starting to have serious doubts, am I just acting out? will I ever pass? My parents have no idea yet, are these just doubts before coming out?

Is this normal?

Are you seeing a therapist?

It hit me really hard after I decided to transition , I thought id rather die because ill never be right and maybe I can cope living in this body forever so maybe I should just try more and 'act' through life , and the reality of having to tell neighbors and people I know and etc. I really talked myself out of it , but in a moment of madness , i shaved my hair off and its like I saw myself for the first time and it was amazing , I feel better , I know its hard , its never going to be easy , but I like myself , and thats a huge step forward for me. but I have many steps still to take , but I understand the doubting at the the beginning x
