Eureka moment

[Megan G]

So today was my monthly visit with my psychologist. I have been seeing her off and on for years and full time for the past 15 months. She is the one that sent the referral off for me to start hrt and has helped me down this road of self discovery.

Anyways I went in to our appointment not thinking much about it. We talked about the usual stuff, my transition plans and where I was in that, my wife and son, work and all the usual stuff we always chatted about. But something felt different this time and it was not until my drive home that I figured it out.

For the first time since I started down this road I went into the appointment confident in who I was. I realized that I have finally come to accept myself and most importantly love myself. My head was held high and I was confident in who and what I was...

I realized that all of those years of fighting myself, and trying to "man up" was just hurting me more and putting me deeper and deeper into denial.

It was a great feeling, I know the road is long and there are lots and lots of bumpy stretch's ahead of me but this was a huge moment for me, giving me the confidence and energy to continue on..

That's a great threshold to have crossed. Remember the feeling next time you hit a low spot, ok?

Megan,

You said everything in just a few words..."I have finally come to accept myself and most importantly love myself." I think that is what all of us need to do and accept. I'm reminded of Hamlet (Polonius' advice to his son Laertes)..."This above all: to thine own self be true."

You have just won! There will be some tough moments for you to cover yet but now that you have had his breakthrough, your life should become much better now. By better I mean not so much confusion, turmoil, and drama.

Congratulations on reaching that stage. As others have said in differentg words, hold on to that in case you get one of thsoe WTF moments or things seem to be going the wrong way.

Hopefully now, yuo will be able to concentrate on what is right for you going forward

Congrats, i too have a similar situation. Wife, two sons and found myself two years ago. I was getting deeper and deeper into depression, i hated myself until my wife said "enough" she made me realize what was missing in my life and thanks to her i love myself now and the girl ive become. I doubt myself sometimes but then i remember the first time i truly was happy with me and the doubt goes away. Keep moving forward and if you ever need to talk mail me :) *hugs*

Nice to see you found that clarity Megan. You're on your way! Now I just need to make that road trip again, I still owe you a coffee from the last time.:)

That's a big deal and I"m thrilled for you. It's going to very helpful to you to have that thought in your head


I experienced a similar feeling when I realized that I was already well on the path to transitioning even though I had never said it out loud to anyone (even my therapist)

Ain't it grand when you have tha particular moment, watch out for more to come :)

Thanks all, it was a big moment for me when I realized it. All that energy I used to spend on fighting myself and running around in circles can now be put towards more constructive things..
