Title: I'm Back
Post by: Nigella on January 31, 2011, 02:55:24 PM
Hi all,

I left Susan's a few months ago after my surgery as I thought I needed a break from all this gender stuff and just concentrate on being me for the first time in my life. Well, after six months post op, (nearly seven now, lol). I've decided that I am at a point where the gender stuff is not really part of my life any more and I'm just living my life. I came to this point just after Christmas when I was having a bath and thinking things and it hit me. I could not remember how it was to have male anatomy and that being female seemed as though it had always been. Since then I've thought about whether I should come back and if I did I would not have it take over my life as my gender dysphoria had done for so many years.

So in saying all this in a kind of convoluted way, I'm back, I may not always look in everyday, but I will give advice, thoughts and try to help others if and when I can.

I had to make the break and it was a good decision to make at the time so I could just live. Now I have time to give as my dilation is now down to once a day (I could not believe how that took over my life in the first few months, lol).

So I'm saying hi and sorry for missing some of those girls who I know/knew who have had their GRS too, congrats to you and keep focused, lol.

Thanks all, I'm over whelmed with the welcome back. Well, I will do what I can to help with thoughts and advice for what that's worth, lol. All I have done in the past is to pass on my experience, that's all.

Luv to all
