It's a good day

It's a good day

I'm feel good for the first time in a long time....

Today is 3 years since I came out as *insert my name*

Coming out as trans was the best thing I've done for myself. 3 years down the road and I'm so proud of myself. It's also been 14 months in T today.

This man loves himself now. Yes I have a serious ED but it's not because I hate the man I've become

Also I'm walking (I did 10m today 😁)....68 days down after a significant suicide attempt that I was told I might not walk again and I'm on my feet (with a support frame but I'm doing it)

Despite my mental illnesses it is possible to have good days and I need to remember that on the bad.

Things change, nothing stays the same.

Well done @The-red-centaur - you've taken some significant steps. Literally.

And I'm so very glad to hear you say that today is a good day. I know it's been a long, difficult time for you recently. Keep that good feeling in your heart ♥
