I'm thinking of starting a blog. I don't feel I'm interesting enough or have enough to say. Any feedback back would be appreciated.  Also, my new avatar Pic has a hair cut I'm thinking about

Honestly starting a blog is great and anything you post could be interesting and useful to someone. Mine is mostly a record of my perpetual breakdowns with occasional what I've been upto.

Love that hair too. Very cute and would be perfect content for a blog 🙂

Well that makes two of us that think that way.  However, I encourage you to start a blog, at least sometime this year.

Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.  Never underestimate the appreciation and respect of authenticity.  Help connect a person to someone that may be able to help that person.  Be brave, be strong.  A TRUE friend is a treasure.  Relationships are very important, people are important, and the sooner we all realize that the better off the world will be.  Try a little kindness.  Be generous with your time, energy, wisdom, and resources.   Inconvenience yourself to help someone.   I am a brown eyed, brown haired woman.

I thought this was your Blog Kellie! Ha ha!

Go for it though. I have thought about doing one myself but honestly I also don't think I lead an interesting life I would probably bore the pants off everybody!

Meh, age has nothing to do with it Kellie, what is boring to us might be very interesting to others. Or it could be boring too I suppose! You won't know till you do one I guess.

I might take a butchers at some of the other blogs to see how they started out. Might give me a spark of inspiration.

Damn my life is super boring. If I have a blog then anyone can lol.

Nice place to start is your journey or something that's on your mind? Maybe troubling you or just something that you wonder about. Thinking aloud or just getting stuff out there. Or maybe how you love this board and your friends on here 🙂

I agree with Danielle and the others.

It's not about whether you have anything "interesting". Everyone has different interests, so you never know who might enjoy yours. Some just use the blog as a diary or journal of their daily life experiences. Some prefer to write about a specific facet of their experiences.

It is all about what you want to do with it. If something is urging you to write, then write!

@Northern Star Girl
@Lori Dee
Thank you for your words of encouragement.
I will consider it very hard.
I want to thank all of you for the support. This site has become my daily go to site and is all the social media I have. My therapist is encouraging me to actually use the word transgender with my wife. Im very afraid, to scare or hurt her. That would be the worst thing ever.
I will tell her I just don't know when or how

Kellie, there is no rush at this stage. It seems a bit quick to me to be telling your spouse you are transgender. You have only had one session with your therapist and I don't think she has positively diagnosed (is that the right word?) you as transgender yet has she?

When I was suffering with depression I found writing down my thoughts in a little book were very helpful. Something about writing down my thoughts helped me process them. A blog might help you sort through your feelings.

In fact sod it, I think I will start one of my own. Lets take the plunge together and bore everyone rigid at the same time.

I agree with Sara,

Talk it over with your therapist. First, to determine if they would diagnose Gender Dysphoria, or perhaps something else. The reason for the diagnosis is to make sure that nothing else is influencing your thoughts.

If they feel that is what is going on, they can help you decide how and when to approach your wife about it. Perhaps she can come with you to a therapy session. That allows her to hear it from the therapist, who can answer her questions about it. That also puts you in a position to hear your wife's questions, so you have an idea about how this news is affecting her. The therapist can work with both of you to get through it.

Think about it like this:

Would you announce to your wife that you think you have cancer, or would you get a diagnosis first?

One of the thoughts that ran through my head was, what if the psychologist is wrong (all four of them)? How do you go back to your family and say, Oops, no false alarm? Then they wonder why you thought that in the first place.

Wait until you know enough about the situation to answer some questions, and see if the therapist can advise you.

Just my two shillings' worth.

Excellent advice there Lori. Kellie, you said you are older than me so 50+, if you have lived with this for that long, what's a few more weeks? There is no rush to transition, I would think you would need to be certain before taking a big step like that.

The good news is you have started the process though Kellie.

Since today has been a bit of an eye opener for me I decided to do something new. I have a beige bralette. I put it on and ran some errands. I was a little nervous at first, then I did what needed to be done.
Just a understanding what i wore. Boyfriend cut denim jeans.  My little gray tennies, ankles on both ankles. A beige bralette and a green t-shirt.
Kellie is starting to come out in full.

Hello Administración

I believe @Stottie Girl is correct and this really has become my blog. Is there anyway to get this moved to blogging section as I'm pretty sure it doesn't belong in the Crossdressers Talk anymore

So glad to hear you had such nice experience wearing your bralette and what sounds like quite the cute little outfit!

Here's hoping to more of Kelllie out there again soon!

Definitely a good idea Kellie! I think you have put a lot of your thoughts down on this thread already, it would be a shame to have to start from scratch.

Quote from: Dawn Kellie on Today at 08:55:32 AMJust finished my first therapy session. It was great, I got teary a few times. She wants to work more on my anxiety and gender issues. She did say she could see me perk up taking about the possibility of transitioning.
I feel better than I have in awhile.  This will be a good thing.
Thank you all for the positivity

This is wonderful to hear, Kellie. Congratulations. It's a huge step toward feeling like yourself, whatever that ends up looking like.

It's really great to see you doing this for yourself and already seeing the benefits of shedding the burdens of being something other than who you really are.

I know it doesn't change everything in an instant, but I'm still very happy for you.

Love,
Pema
