Sharing with my first friend

I shared my condition with my friend today. The first time I told a friend.

He is actually my classmate from school, and I have been seeing him for depression (he is a psychiatrist). Today, I shared with him the underlying cause of all that stress.

He told me that he has since other patients with GID too, and offered advice on transition. So glad to be able to share this with someone outside the family. It does give me confidence to tell more of my friends (slowly) about my condition.

Moving out

Today, they moved back to their hometown. So I am alone here. I don't know how things will turn out, but I do hope we will eventually be together again. But for now, I have to learn to stand on my own.
