Hanginon-

You are so brave to share what you have shared with your new T. Things will come and flow how they need to flow. I never used to cry in front of anyone, ever. I didn't cry for at least the first 6 months in T. Then I would tear up...After awhile I had a couple short cries...Recently, I have had some full on, several tissue, sobs. The best part though: I don't hate/berate myself after. That has been the biggest change for me. I have been in T a year now and it has taken that long to get to this.

to you. You are right where you need to be.
