Definitely just take your time, I am definitely not a great advice person, but sometimes a therapist, or as some call them here,"T", is a good thing. But getting a T has to be your decision, when you are ready! I think that telling your best friend is a good first step.

Totally good for you, what was it like?
(I haven't told anyone...don't know if I can or will...but it would be good to have some support in RL other than T.)
