what a week!!

[stephiny10]

Hi to all, Well it's been a whole week now since I have come out and started being Stephiny all the time. I'm not regretting any of it. As I'm sorta a home body the most exposure is at work. Now I work at a very public transportation agency here in the twin cites I interact with customers as well as my fellow employees, the week went good,not counting the first 2 days in which I was scared stiff. While I noticed a definite uncomfortable level in some,I also found in others more support then I dared hope for. I know that I still a lot more rough spots to get through (especially in my marriage),I just want to share ,and savour this first week. There is no looking back now. Stephiny

Thanks for sharing Stephiny. We tend to worry more than is necessary, but that is better than not worrying enough. Hearing your first week went well is wonderful news! All the best as you continue your journey.

Congratulations also Stephiny,

I am happy your first week went so well for you. Something I learn about some of the people that acted uncomfortable around me. Is just keep talking to them and get them to talk about themselves and it seems to get better with time. In the beginning I made it a point to make my rounds to people that seem uncomfortable with me and I don't mean the ones that hates you.

Stephiny,

A huge congrat's!!!!!!!

You are at the time of your transition where everything is magical and at the same time very trying on your mind, heart and soul.
My advice to you is to get as much sleep as you can during this time.
Your mind and body are going through some very intense things at the moment.
Above all be proud of you and what you have done Stephiny.

Stephine; Congratulations . Hugs. Seems the more nervous I am the worse people react. I really liked Julia's advice about getting rest.
