You are all so incredible, congrats on the hard work, I know a little bit about the commitment, facing fears and dealing with disappointing, frustrating upsetting days that all this progress requires. And to your Ts that have been part of making it possible. What a great community.

My sense of progress? Its early days, I think I've started in very small ways to let my friends actually know how I am feeling and I have been present with my own negative feelings about the past and also in day to day life. This feels messy, out of control and often leaves me anxious. So its a weird kind of progress, but for me, I've had all these parts of my self and my experience shut away, so in my case it is progress. Sometimes I hate that this is what progress is and feel confused if its even worth it. Other times I am grateful to be on the way to becoming a more whole person.
