3 Months Later

[Guest Nibel]

Hi everyone!

It's been a long time since I've last posted. Many things happened in my life, good ones and bad ones, but the most important thing is that I haven't given up and I took my pills every day and now, 3 months later I have nothing to regret. It doesn't mean by any chance that things are easy going, but somehow going into HRT made me more capable of dealing with the ordeals of my life. I'm pretty much identified with the post by "I is Sam" about her 6 months treatment and being myself halfway her path makes me think about how much is awaiting for me in the future. I am too very happy most of the time. I've been a bit upset lately, but probably because I've just started progesterone so nothing to worry about, and also it is nowhere near the depression I had before.

For those who still remember my original post in the Sexual Abuse Support Forum, back then I was unemployed, but now I've managed to get a good job, so that was a huge boost to my life too. As far of the physical changes not very much is noticeable, since because of this job I'm not fighting against my male characteristics like body hair and beard in order to get a little more time in stealth mode. If I take my shirt off my breast is somewhat noticeable and I've noticed a sensible amount of new hair growing in my head, which is great since I have a severe male pattern baldness problem. That probably will be the most difficult thing to overcome, but I am not sad at all. Just being able to see my body "heal" like that is great. Before it was like a decease was eating me alive, deteriorating my body with over-expressed male characteristics. I know it will take time to my body revert all the damage that has been done, but just knowing that I've stopping it from progressing and I am on the right track now gives me huge relief and happiness.

So, I guess everything is going great and I want to leave my thanks to all the people that post here, since you've given me strength to continue when I was sad, depressed and in doubt. I just want to retribute the favor by telling my story for the ones that may need a light like I did before.

I will try to come back more. I love this place.

Kisses

Nibel, your post is a cool drink of water in the desert for a thirsty woman. That is just awesome news, hon. I am so happy that things have turned around for you.

There is nothing more affirming of one's sense of purpose than a good paycheck, and they are hard to come by. Good for you!

Good progress report on the HRT too. There is a lot to look forward to in the coming months, so stand by to stand by.

Thanks for the post, hon.

Hi Nibel,

That is really wonderful on both counts! So nice you were able to come up with employment, plus having really good results with HRT. I hope to act on both myself tomorrow, a former co-worker gave me a 'heads-up' yesterday.

Yes, there will still be challenges and bad days. But there are many good days ahead!

Huggs,

Opal
