Focus

[Guest Jon aka Rachel]

Hi

I just have a simple question when some of you first started to realize what you were inside did you ever just become flooded with so many emotions it was hard to function.

I am not entirely even sure where it will all lead but I have just been so over come with emotions of the past few days good and bad. Now when I really need to work I just can’t for some reason, I have no ability to focus what so ever.

I was just wondering if anyone else ever experienced this when they first started to piece things together and come to an inner peace about a lot of the confusion they had been battling with.

Thanks

Oh boy was it ever!

You have a lot of peers here that have or are living through exactly what you described. Time is the universal healer and time will abate the intensity of what you are feeling.

Exactly what happens.

JJ originally used epiphany as his sign in name. That is what it is.

Yeah, brings back some memories.

After an intense therapy session, so many emotions and memories ran through my mind, that I almost started bawling driving down

the freeway. The 405 Fwy at rush hour is not a good place to start bawling. That was the exact moment I realized beyond a doubt that I was a woman. Wow, what an experience.

So, yeah, you're not alone in that, Rachel. We all go through it.

Thanks all this is more emotions then I have ever really dealt with at one time so I was just unsure.

Carolyn Marie that story gives me chills, I have felt a bit similar but not nearly as strong. I will not be able to goto live sessions any time soon but I am thinking about trying online sessions sooner.

thanks again

The emotions were there but I was able to keep them under control. I embraced the good and let the bad pass. It's a balancing act but it can be done. It takes time.

There have been two completely overwhelming experiences so far-the first when I realized I was trans. Turned my world right side up at last and made sense of everything. But there was a lot of past to sort through and re-relate to in a way. Not to mention having to admit what I had so longer feared and run away from. Admit and accept and embrace. I wouldn't have made it without the people here.

The second was when I realized I could and in fact had to transition. A dream denied, a prayer unanswered for over half a century could-would-come true. That one gave me back hope and a future and.life. I'm still adjusting to that one and not back to full focus after several weeks.

And there is so much to process. So much to realize. But each step makes it better-at least for me-and makes it well worth all the distraction and head spinning shifts that seem to keep happening.

It's quite a ride but at the end you come out right-I believe and hope anyway.

Thanks Gennee I have been working on that.

John I do feel similar to that I just don't have as much to sort through because I am fairly young and a lot more has made since. also thanks for the hopes

Thanks
