Well I Did It

[CarlaRenae_arkie]

After almost 50 years of struggling with my identity, I finally got the nerve to make an appointment to see a therapist. I called to make an appointment and they told me that someone had just canceled. I could see the therapist if I could be there in 45 minutes. Before I could chicken out, I said yes. I was nervous as a cat on the front porch at Cracker Barrel (southern joke). My heart was racing. My therapist has over 20 years experience work with transgenders especially male to female. The therapist verified what I knew all along that I am transgender. Lot's of work ahead for me but at least I now know that I am and have been female!!! All of you have provided so much inspiration and help. Thank you!!!


Love,
Carla Renae

Congratulations on starting with a therapist! I'm a little surprised they diagnosed you on a first visit, but certainly it must have made you feel better. Good luck on your journey. It may be hard work, but it's worth the effort. :)
