A hidden person.

[StephanieSJL]

Hello, never have spoken about myself. Never have posted here or anywhere else.  A person who lived in isolation about dressing. Am unsure how deep she goes. Seeing myself.  Looking for answers. Warmly, Stephanie.

Hi Stephanie, welcome to Transpulse! We certainly have answers. I notice you are in Maryland. I am actually in Northern Virginia, so if there is anything you need and you are close to DC, I probably can point you in the right direction.

Hello Stephanie,

Welcome to TransPulse.   I'd recommend counseling with a gender therapist as a good first step toward finding answers. He or she can help you find your way toward better knowing yourself.  You can find a list of qualified therapists here. Good luck.

Hi Stephanie,

Welcome to Trans Pulse! Remember, we don't have to get there in one big woosh. Just take things one step at a time. Glad you made it!

 

Lots of love,

Timber Wolf?

Welcome to the sunshine Stephanie.  Take some time and look around.  When i arrived here i discovered i was certainly not alone.  Years of hiding in fear and shame slowly faded and i found some self acceptance.  I have also made many friends as i and others share their journeys.  Enjoy.

 

Hugs,

 

Charlize

Hello Stephanie and a warm welcome to you!   You are in good company.  This is one of the most caring group of people I've ever been associated with.

This is common as we tend to hold in our thoughts as we fear any exposure.  Please read the various posts that are here.  You'll find a lot of commonality with your story.  You will eventually determine how deep your feelings go.  In the meantime, smile when you look in the mirror and see Stephanie.  I'm sure she's a beautiful person who is longing to be free.
