Hello Minerba, Thank you so much for reaching out. I do have friends who are aware of what I've been through but unfortunately I am not near them geographically at this time, they have still been supportive over text and phone, but I don't think they've ever really known how to react. They are doing their best and I'm very appreciative of it. Yes, I'm very glad I made the decision to become a part of this site, I've felt a sense of relief ever since.

Hi Mary, Thank you for the comforting words. I have struggled to be open because I felt like people could never really understand and would just treat me differently, but I finally feel like I can share without having that feeling. I wish you well on your journey as well.

On the exterior I feel like I seem normal again, but
