Admittedly it was only one person before, but that's still three new people that know about Charlotte, and it's so good to have 'her' becoming part of other peoples lives - maybe not physically, but on an emotional level she exists to them now. Except she doesn't, because she is me, and they have all been amazing and totally accepting that I am still the same person.
I've had all kinds of fears, and none of them have come to fruition.
The worlds a better place than I, and likely a lot of us, think it is. It's also far more accepting.
I can't say my responses will be the same for all members here, as I know the weighting of age ranges on here is heavily biased towards 10 and more years above my own age. Different generations will have different opinions.
I will however say that if you're feeling down, if you're struggling, then don't suffer in silence.
