Cyn,
I am so happy you are here. Your words speak to many of us, me it hits right to home. I know that jaiymelynne is me and I am her, but to what extent and how far she will take me is what the journey will discover. I long to make friends. I am committed to this. I found a great online counselor, she helped a lot. But perhaps now it is time for in person therapy. I wish peace and joy for all of us, and thank you for so eloquently expressing welcome to me here.
Thank you,
JaiymeLynne
Thank you for your kind words. I don't see myself as special- just someone who is trying to figure out my path and cares about those around me. Counseling in person really allows you to open up in ways that online doesn't; so much of communication is non-verbal and online is so hard to get things across the same way. Good luck and let me know if I can help in any way.

Cyn, thanks for your reply. You know it's funny, I've recently be working through a guidebook "You and Your Gender Identity" and in there it was brought up about mentors, cheerleaders etc and counselors. I am planning on calling the therapist I worked with about 10-15 years ago when I was trying to understand how certain events in childhood shaped me. He was helpful at the time. We almost got in to gender issues then, but I was still repressing. So I know if he can't help me, he most surely can guide me in the right direction. I appreciate you and will reach out, let you know how it's going.

hi thanks for welcoming me ive been like this for most of my life and like most have struggled with the attitude of the few i mentioned it to, its good that we can now find others the same ,and realise there is nothing wrong with us just a bad attitude from some people ,so i look forward to making new friends here who understand
<p style="text-align: center;">Thank you for the words of encouragement, I am 49 and starting on my journey as well, I have faced rejection many times before and backed out, but I know I need to be who I really am no matter what, I am looking forward to meeting new friends so I don't feel alone</p>
Cyn,
All the best words have been taken, I'm afraid. I guess that's what I get for coming late to the party, right?
But, I'll echo a few of those thoughts here because, honestly, I still didn't tell my ex-wife that I wore her dresses in secret. Lol. I have just started in the active and lucid part of my journey, looking down the road of exploration and very likely full transition.
However, I acted like you did with the "dipping a toe" episode with my first ever interview with a general therapist (the kind they keep at colleges, most often for help with students under stress). I stammered and choked out the words "transgender issues" like I was confessing to murder. Within a few sessions I figured out she didn't care and that it was all okay to talk about. A total opposite to my previous experience of trying to talk to friends or, later, come out to my wife (at the time). Ya, that last one set me back years, but it is open spaces like this one that, like you, I have been able to talk about my "secret me".
Thank you for being courageous and standing by others as an ally!
You know I know just what your talking about. I remember being scared, feeling alone, wondering what my friends and family would think of me.
My first time on CDH I signed up and then split. (Yes that must of been before chat) Why because I thought someone in my house saw me on there and I freaked out.
But I did come back and I stayed this time. And you want to know why. Because of you Cynthia, you were the one who said something me and you made a impact on me. I don't even remember what that was, but it was important enough for me to keep coming back.
I been there on CDH now, let's maybe 4 or 5 years now. You may not see yourself as a mentor, but I know others do. I am one of them.
So In thank you and I should have told you sooner.
Hippie
