Hi MonicaMy name is
Sarah and I would also like to formally, Welcome you to Susan's Place!
I see that other members of Susan's have also welcomed you as well.
Thank you for trusting us with such a personal and painful part of your life. I am very sorry for the fear, harm and loneliness you have had to carry. You deserved safety, kindness and care when you were little and you deserve those things now.
I am glad you are here. The way you describe remembering that you are trans and feeling warmth and calm sounds like a very important part of your strength. You are not wrong for needing friends, support and understanding. Many of us know what it feels like to need a place where we can be seen as ourselves.
Please stay close to support right now, especially when thoughts of death feel strong. You do not have to face those moments alone. There are people who will listen and help you through the next minute, the next hour and the next day.
