Hi, new and confused

I’m fairly new here myself Ruth. Just want to welcome you and say thank you for having the courage to be here. This is a wonderfully safe space. You can be your genuine, authentic self or at least work towards that, as it seems we never fully arrive. Have a great day! 🌅

Thank you, I have to say this is tough and I know its only going to get tougher. But not doing anything is not an option, I've tried that for 47 years and it's not good.

Thank you again for your kind words

Hi! Im new here also and like you I am beginning my journey to my authentic self! You are not alone Ive been on 2 months hrt and its really helped me

Ruth:

Yes, many here are dealing with, or have dealt with, what you mentioned. I think what is important to remember is that it is a process and a journey. Deliberate thought is helpful because there is the potential for some VERY major changes to our lives; things that our minds will resist due to the upheaval it may bring.

However, the journey of 1000 miles begins with the first step. It is the way it has always been and always will be.

There are many members here from the UK. You can search for them by clicking on Social in the menu and then Member Directory. That will leave you at the search utility.

I suggest that you complete your Profile page. It is a living document that you can update to reflect the decisions you've made, the changes in your life, etc. It helps other members to get to know you and understand your situation and progress.

I know I have a lot of thinking to do and try to bottom out how I am feeling.

I am trying to be realistic about my expectations and that needs a lot of thought

Thank you for the advise and I will update my profile

Hi Anita

I have only now gone to my GP so a long way off from getting hormones, and I'm glad it is really helping you be yourself

Slings are always handy, altho not sure of the costs 😅🤣
