So I guess work on T first like you are.

All I can say is keep trying. I know how scary it feels, believe me! It is much safer to hide away.

I spoke with my aunt last week (*gasp I reached out!! So hard to do) and she said that I am VERY good at hiding. Huh. I thought no one noticed or cared, but I guess I was wrong. It was hard for me to do. I first started out by email, and she wrote me back a really long and sweet response. At that point I was on the verge of an emotional tipping point, and thought I should call her. I sat there staring at my phone, convinced I couldn't do it. I made myself.

When I got a hold of her, I lost all conviction in really talking to her. I was just going to keep it at "I'm fine", nice surfacey conversation. Except she didn't let me get away with that!

What I am saying is that it IS hard, and you can only move at the pace you feel comfortable at. Writing T is a HUGE step. I hope it is a breakthrough for you, MUE!
