Welcome to Susan's, Mindy.

There's a lot of good information and good people here. Each of our stories is unique but we have a lot in common. Settle in, pull up a keyboard, and explore.
Be sure to look under the Announcements heading. There you will find the rules we live by in this little world of ours: "Site Terms of Service and Rules to Live By", "Standard Terms and Definitions", and "Post Ranks". Look through the other stuff there, too, like "Age and the Forums".
Your story is similar to mine in some ways. I had convinced myself I was CD until I started finally opening up. Today I am 8 months as Kate full time. You may find transition is not what
you need, but I think you might find help here discovering just what it is you do need.
Happy exploring

- Kate
