Hi I'm Belle


Belle

Recommended Posts

I just came back from my appointment with my gender therapist. It was a relief, as usual, to speak with someone who understands, can ask insightful questions, and help provide understanding.

So after a year of meeting and hashing through all my issues, I will be referred to the endocrinologist in conjunction with a primary care doctor that also understands and specializes in this. And yet, my journey has just begun.

In that sense, Belle we are alike.

Don't forget to take a nice long breath from time to time and relax, smell the flowers and enjoy the day. Life is too short to live it miserably pretending to be someone/something we're not.

Shawn, I have read through a lot of your posts because they turn up in my keyword searches since you're currently in a similar situation. I'm rooting for you and your marriage! I don't know if I could survive losing my wife.

Thank you very much.  I still have hope.  It’s hard to consider life without her but sadly I am no stranger to divorce.  Been there done that and survived each time.  This time is different because this tome I’m not prepared as I should be.  Plus I’m going out on my own as Trans which makes things even scarier.  
Btw. You are gorgeous.   I just thought you would like to know that from someone who is pulling for you.

I admire your bravery and persistence Shawn!

Lol, I was thinking the same about you, but didn't want to sound creepy :) I did use FaceApp to add makeup and longer hair, though. I haven't figured out makeup well enough yet, but I do believe this look is within reach.

Not creepy.  I don’t think so.  A compliment is just that.  We all need a nice word every once in a while.  Something positive.  
Thank you too.

I'm just so used to getting a reaction from females as if I'm a guy. I'm overly sensitive to the idea that something I have said was taken wrong. It has happened so many times with varying reactions.

We may of been born and even lived a huge amount of time in our male shells but inside we are women.  Something we are trying slowly to bring out and bloom.  
This is how I know you.  Read you.  I am glad to of met you here and hope to hear and read more from you.  

lot of love

Shawna.

Tally, I'm so happy that you're finally making it to the endocrinologist! I want to start HRT so much! A while ago I actually started on some herb cream that was causing changes very quickly. I was ecstatic but soon realized I had to slow down for safety but also because at some point in the not so distant future my wife would figure it out. That's when I came out to her and she insisted I stop. My dysphoria skyrocketed.

 

If you're comfortable with it please share as your body begins to align with your true self.

Same to you Shawna! And I'm sorry I've been misspelling your name. I had read one of your earlier posts where you said you had tried to put Shawn as your name but it wouldn't let you, so I was trying to respect that. I wasn't paying enough attention to your signature in your replies! :poster_oops:

 

Love, 

Belle ❤️

      Had a weird dream last night.
    • Mirrabooka
      Morning, y'all. Evening here; we had the regulation three mugs full today. Now it's time to drink something else.     No big plans here either, eldest daughter and granddaughter will be arriving on Saturday, and we will have our granddaughter to ourselves for a week after that. We still have plans though. Tuesday we'll go to the swim center, Wednesday we'll take a road trip to visit my mom, Thursday we'll get some mulch delivered to top up the gardens.   I still make other small plans on a daily basis though. The things I do plan nowadays, which is a bit new for me, is that after pinching a nerve and ending up in a bit of pain and getting some treatment from the physio, I am more motivated than ever to exercise more regularly. Tuesday for example, I went for a short (15 minute) early morning walk, went to the pool for some hydrotherapy, and mowed the lawns. Yesterday I did my exercise reps and spent some time on the exercise bike. Today, I went for a 45-minute walk, tomorrow I will do my reps again and go for a long bike ride. As long as I do at least one thing every day, right? The pleasing thing is that I'm losing weight! I blew out to above 95kg early in the year and I'm just under 91kg now. Yay me!

      What one piece of advice would you give to beginning transitioners or considering transition?

      Boredom is an emotional state that comes when a person has nothing to do, and is not interested in anything. To stop boredom, most people do something to occupy or amuse themselves. The first known use of the word boredom is in the novel Bleak House by Charles Dickens, written in 1852, but the saying to be a bore had been used to mean "to be tiresome or dull" since 1768. When referring to the mind, boredom is a bad state in which the person feels a deep lack of interest in what is going on around them, and where it is hard to focus.

      So, yesterday's epiphany was that girl jeans fit me much nicer than boy jeans. Well, duh! So this girl is switching over to wearing girl jeans pretty much full time. I'll keep my others for work jeans. We went out to dinner last evening and I was in androgynous mode...wearing a pair of Bandolino Amy straight leg denim pants. Score!

      Good morning, everyone!! The coffee upload has started for me but just in the early stages so I'm barely coherent at this point.   You've been missed @Willow - I hope all is going well with your wife and at work.   @awkward-yet-sweet We love to make beans with rice - one of our favorite meals.   No big plans for me today. Small projects around our place and probably some reading. We're going to have some rain off and on, and the temps are still too low for a lot of outdoor work.   Be safe and enjoy this beautiful day we've been given!!
