I know there are many others on these forums that can talk about this better than I can but I just want to say something about suicide.. I know someone in the community of my FB friends that committed Suicide.. I did not know her personally but the ones who did and even the others like me took it hard.. very hard.

I tried it myself, I had the thoughts all the time... if you think about it at all its serious and you need to talk to someone.. a professional or if you cant afford that even friends ...
Don't think it cant happen to you.. it can..
I almost let myself be committed for care during my transition.. but would not let them because of my business and how busy I am.. and sometimes I think work saved me..
Also you see that on Susan's there are suicide hot lines you can call if you get down... life is so wonderful.. just to be here, to be alive is a gift.. I know how hard it is to be transgender.. but its better to be here, to enjoy even the small things in life than not.. OK... enough said. I just wanted to say this...
Love
Keri  AKA Dodie
Now back to work ....
