Virtually every aspect of my old life was superior to my present life, with one exception - I can stand to live my present life, despite it's issues.
Of course I feared the losses we all fear. Doing what I knew I needed to do was a terrifying prospect.
Don't do what I did, and wait until you can no longer stand life at all to transition. Because at that point, it may well be too late for you. It very nearly was for me.
