I was in college. I was transgendered. I was terrified.
And there was no turning back.
Nobody I knew could find out. Oh, God, I couldn't imagine if they found out! But I desperately needed support.

But I had my own issues. Late at night, gripped with fear, I drove the hour and a half without telling anyone to get to the nearest GLBT support group to attend one of its' monthly meetings. But I had the date wrong. Nobody was there. I drove the long drive back home. I didn't get the courage to try again for several months.
