I have enjoyed reading about your journey but my heart is breaking reading what you are currently going through.
I didn't mean for this to become a blog but c'est la vie.
So to elaborate a bit more (and this will likely out me)
3 years almost ago I was involved in a vehicle accident where a van pulled out on my and I hit it at 50kmph on my bicycle.
I broke 12 ribs and my sternum.
I never fully recovered from that and have ongoing neck and back issues.
While recovering scans revealed I had a blocked artery, usually called the widow maker, so I ended up having open heart surgery for a double bypass.
It got to the point that I was struggling at work and couldn't safely do my job.
It was only well after the accident that I found I had cracked my helmet.
My wife had been insisting that I had mentally changed after the accident but she couldn't put a finger on exactly what was amiss, just that I had lost a mind filter and my personality had changed.
My psychologist proposed this is why I'm now crossdressing again. Whatever allowed me to bury it for so long has been destroyed.
I'm really struggling to control impulses, impulses that could blow up my life.
My wife is a really wonderful person and she accepts so much of me. But everybody has their limits.
This used to be a fetish that I despised after release but now it's a compulsion which makes me feel peaceful.
I get excited about taking steps forward (non sexually excited)
Thursday is my next beard laser and a week after that will be a month since starting shaping my brows. I can't wait for my next visit.
I still harbour internal prejudice about what I'm doing. I hate myself for that. When I come across other people in this position I have nothing but love and compassion.
I've obsessively been reading other peoples experiences and it seems that I have a LOT in common with transgender MTF girls. Way more than I thought possible.
Petunia,
I hope you are doing really welll today. 💅🏻

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.
