[–]barnarnasis this tv show my friend? 19 insightful - 1 fun19 insightful - 0 fun20 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I have, and it scares me to think about how different my life would be if I was surrounded by different people during that time. I didn't even know what it was at first, just that I finally accepted that I was a lesbian and then I couldn't look at myself in the mirror anymore. I would cry if I did, and at one point I thought about top surgery. Thankfully, my friends (and therapist) recognized that what I needed was time and reassurance that I would be okay and that I didn't need to make any drastic decisions and/or changes to my body and eventually it passed. Accepting my feelings as valid and real instead of "affirming" them as reality honestly saved me.
