Intake for a Trans* Support Group

JulianES · April 30, 2015, 10:22:25 AM

Today I have an appointment for an intake for a Trans* support group at our local Pride Center. I am scared and nervous and excited and overwhelmed. I feel like I'm about to jump out of my skin. This is such a huge step for me, and I'm feeling everything all at once. Wish me luck!

Hugs and good luck. You will be just fine. The intake is just a formality anyway. Congrats in this step of your journey.

Thank you Mariah! I feel like I'm stepping into reality for the first time in my life. Sooo glad this site exists!

The intake was awesome. I just left, and am on the train going home. I feel exhilarated, and excited to participate in the group. It is rather large-20-30 people usually attend--and socializing outside group is encouraged, as so many of us need friends who "get it." I can breathe a little bit easier now.

Julian that is so wonderful to hear. Congrats. Hugs

That's great, I'm really glad it was so positive. That's a good number of people too, hopefully you can find several you really click well with.

I am happy for you that it went well and you liked it.

I have several people at group I would onsider frinds. For the first time I know several people that know exactly how I feel and are going through what I am going through.

Cynthia: That is precisely what it feels like I'm heading towards. Even in just meeting with one of the therapists who helps moderate the group felt like an acceptance and, more importantly, a level of understanding that I have never felt before in a face to face interaction. It was overwhelmingly positive. I am just so thrilled to finally be heading towards living authentically, and being able to walk this road with the support of people who understand at the level of personal experience what it is that I'm going through, both face to face in the real world, and here online. Thank you all for your support!
