Hi I'm Emily,
I'm 40+, and just starting to accept who I am / cracked my egg for something I've been going through my entire life. I came out to my wife (of 12 years) a few days ago. It's been completely overwhelming. I cried more in the last 72 hours than I have in the last 20 years.
I have a therapist who knows. But I've never trusted anyone with this before, and feel all alone. I have so many feelings, and don't know what to think or do. I'm just looking for compassion and someone to talk to. (sorry if this is too much for an intro)
I'm in the SF Bay Area/San Jose.
@emilyapple Congratulations Emily and welcome to TGH. You will enjoy this welcoming community. I am glad your wife is accepting.
I too started therapy and that has made all the difference in my acceptance of my true gender. Look forward to getting to know you.
@emilyapple Just shoot me a line, I'm happy to talk about any topic. Due to the time difference I may take a while to get back to you, but I have a wealth of knowledge and only too happy to lend a friendly ear.
Thank you both so much
