I have SRS in 13 days. I am sort of freaking out. I cannot sleep or eat and i am seriously so depressed/nervous. I think the main reason i am so depressed is because i am so young, ( i just turned 19!) I am in a sorority in college, and not a single soul knows i am transgender. I wish i could tell someone about this exciting moment in my life but i cannot risk losing my stealth. I have been on hormones forever so nobody would even guess but i am just curios on how people deal with feelings before GRS?

Its only 13 days. You are strong enough to pass in stealth. You have all the members in the forum ready to help, I know cos they helped me.
Its normal to be anxious, surgery does that to everyone. Just think positivly, in 13 days you will realize your dream. :D

Forgot to mention that you have stopped taking your hormones. This causes sleeplessness, aches and can cause mild depression. This too will go away ehen yoi start hormones again.

I didn't feel the need to share. Other than my therapy group and my family, nobody else knew. The trip was done solo so there was no sharing or even a phone call until I returned. I don't know if this will help, but some of the members start a thread documenting their experience. Members on the site are more than interested in learning about what they face so they will offer support and ask questions. It's not the same as sharing with somebody they know but for many it's enough.

Sounds like you need somebody to confide in... But perhaps not in the same sorority ;)
Aren't there any queer bars or places you can hang out in? Don't worry too much about being outed that way, you can still play the "I might be bisexual" card if push comes to shove :P
