Hi Manni. Just looked at our forum after a few days off..and oh my gosh I am so excited to see that you're moving forward on all this! And confiding in your girlfriend is a giant step...wow!
I have found that if I give people a chance to see what I'm going through, the most interesting thing happens. People I didn't even think would support me are surprisingly there for me. And I also have found that some folks didn't understand and were uncomfortable with my feelings. But, for me personally, it was a good thing to know who I could talk to. That, for me, was how I built my support system. We're here for ya! Blessings. Gina
