This Week So Far

1. I am now going to a LGBT Therapist to help me to learn to stop hating myself. I've only had one session so far but I'm impressed with her so far. It is extremely hard for me to talk but she managed to get me to not only talk but get to the point of the reason for my being there.

2. I joined a gym and enjoyed going. I'm a little sore but not as bad as i thought i would be.

3. There is little to no tension around here now. He has accepted who i am and has agreed to be friends not only for the sake of the kids but for our own mental health too. This is the best we've gotten along in a few years.

4. I went for a haircut and i love the style. Hopefully next month i can afford to get it colored, i think i might go blonde or close to it.

5. I'm discovering that the friends i thought i would've lost when they read my blog are the most supportive. I don't plan on telling family anytime soon since i know for a fact the news won't go over well at all. They will find out when they find out.

Glad to hear you are doing better. A good therapist can work miracles (personal experience there). A bad one can be equally devastating (also personal experience).

Hang in there NM. You're true friends will always love you. The ones that don't were never really friends anyway.

I'm still here if you need me.

Yay!! Bring proactive about yourself is the best thing you can do. :) I'm glad you found a good person to talk to, that there is peace in your house (finally) and you are feeling OK. Congratulations.

I wish I were as brave as you are.
I told you before ~ I couldn't think of a better person to be my friend and it would take a heck of a lot to get rid of me :)
