I do agree with this statement. To me, happiness is not a fixed thing but, rather, a process. It is something that we have to work on continuously. Something that we can control but don't own. -

I have traveled a similar path of self-doubt, guilt, self-forgiveness and acceptance in my journey. And, if it helps, I would bet that most of us have had a similar experience. And, I wish I could say that one day, it all just disappears. At least for me, that hasn't been the case. It seemed as if the acceptance came relatively quickly when I began working with my therapist. The others less quickly and, perhaps, that's because it took me almost 68 years to finally accept my truth. In my mind, you are on the right trajectory. Exploring, discussing, opening up and looking into the nooks and crannies. It's not always an easy process but I'm confident you'll find your way. I know I have, despite the doubts and guilt. Stay with the process and know we are here if you need us. -

Developing happy emotions can involve practicing gratitude, being kind to yourself, and building positive relationships. You can also try to be more mindful and to focus on the present moment. Practice gratitude Keep a gratitude journal to reflect on what you're thankful for Express appreciation for others Be kind to yourself Forgive yourself and learn from mistakes and Avoid being overly critical or perfectionistic. Build positive relationships Spend time with friends and supportive people, Practice empathy and compassion, and Respond positively to others' good news. Be mindful Be aware of what's happening in the present moment Avoid living on autopilot Develop healthy habits Eat healthy food, Get enough sleep, Be physically active, Set meaningful goals, and Seek healthy challenges. Practice kindness Perform random acts of kindness, Volunteer, and Be compassionate. -

It soundsd like your girlfriend is acquainted with and accepts the LGBTQ+ community. So that's a plus. I wonder if you've discussed this with your therapist. In not, it would be a good idea. I know, in my case, my firsr time I came out, it was to a friend who lived a distance away and not part of my local friends/family. If rejected, it wouldn't hurt as much to lose that persom. I then worked my way in in order to gain confidence. However, if the relationship is important, I think sooner than later to telling her. Being she hasn't lived with being LGBTQ, you are much longer along your journey and so it may come as a shock - and she may have to go through steps a greiving, be compassion and give her room. If she rejects you then it is also better to know sooner than later. Even if she first rejects, that may be a reaction to the news but give it time to settle in. That's my opinion, but you know her so let your inner being guide you. -

I also think it's important to focus on what makes you happy as opposed to feeling comfortable. Which is the real you? Perhaps it's not even just one or the other. Perhaps it is both. Or, perhaps it's more of the feel of presenting as a woman instead of the desire to be a (trans) woman? Those are things to explore and solidify in your own mind with your therapist before you open up to your girlfriend. Hang in there! None of this is easy. And, we're here if you need us.
