Title: i think i'm ready
Post by: Preston on February 03, 2012, 12:41:49 AM
...to go full time, that is. i've been terrified to tell my dad and sister (my mom is fine with it). i'm seeing a great psychologist whom i've been seeing for years and i think she could help me figure out a way in which i'm comfortable to come out. i'm very, very scared. no, not scared, nervous.  :-X Any advice or experience?

There are quite a lot of people dealing with FtM as you are.

But if I may say, if that's you in the photo, you're already there. Why do boys never seem to smile? :D

Just want to wish you well buddy.  It's natural to be nervous.

Okay, so I have been completely balking on this... But, I'm going to be out of town for a week and I feel that it would be best to send my father an e-mail. We have never really been able to communicate verbally. And I'll be seeing my sister, but that's another story. Ugh, so stressful!!!  :-X

It's scary at first. All the information in the world can't hold a candle to experience, though, and I bet 6 months from now you'll be a pro at a lot of things that are intimidating now. Sometimes you just have to jump in.
