[The First Aria]

I agree 100% with this. It was my fighting myself, even AFTER I came out as Transgender, that contributed to my very nearly successful suicide attempt (three days in a coma and 10 days total in ICU). There were other contributing factors, but it was my fighting myself that was the biggest reason for it. Since I quit fighting myself and truly came to accepting myself, I have literally, never been happier in my life.

I am VERY glad that you are taking these steps and moving forward with accepting yourself and investigating what that means for you.

For others here.... don't play dice with your life. Get help sooner rather than later, because later.... may be too late.

I am sorry to hear about your near suicide. I feel everyone we, as the human race, looses.... So go the rest of us.

I don't ever see me going all the way over to the other side of the coin, but to simply have validation from someone who has been there (such as the friends I have made here) and professionals take a lot off my mind. And simply to know that I am NOT the only one who sits on the fence and falls to either side depending on moods.... LOL... Who needs Disneyland or Disneyworld, right???
