Title: Here we go!
Post by: Jessirules on September 01, 2015, 07:43:37 PM
Hi, I'm Jessi and after 58 years of being in limbo I talked to a great therapist last week for the first time. She was the first person I ever told my private story to. Not even my wife of 25 years new anything about my struggle that I have had my entire life. I been divorced now about 4 yrs, and since then my female side has been coming out more often and intensely. I can't begin to tell you how scared that makes me feel.  I really didn't know what this was till I started during research resently. I have decided to inbrace these feelings in hopes that I will finally find peace. HRT  is coming soon, electrolysis,  who knows what next! Whish me luck.


Jessi

Jessi,

Except for the divorce and I have three teenage daughters, sounds relatively similar to my experience. I was either without a clue or in deep denial till my 50th.

I am going slowly, out to my wife and a few friends and that is about it. I am underdressing, removing as much hair a possible on the body, doing electrolysis, and starting low dosage HRT in a few weeks. My wife is cautiously optomistic and we are staying in touch.

Hope that wasn't TMI. All that really means is I am familiar with much of what you speak. There are a lot of greatly concerned people here.

Welcome, pull up a chair. Let us know if we can get you anything or if you have questions.

With warmth,

Joanna
