Ever wish you could freeze a moment and then smash it out of existance?

I just came out publicly in my journal. And I am scared shitless.

I am the least qualified to have done this, but I am the most confused by everything. I lose years of my life and need to be brought up to speed (after an adequate freaking out phase) everytime I come forward.

My memories stop at age 16... this body is now 24, almost 25.

The husband made the joke "Could be worse, you could be like 10 second Tom" I had no idea what he was talking about, so he sat down and watched 50 first dates... he had rented it as a joke with S.R., and they had a laugh over it. But all it did was make me cry... because that pretty much is how life is for me.

I'm sure you've seen this journal name in here before, apparently I've been a member before.

Anyway, my point was, it is now public knowledge...

What were your experiences "coming out" like?

My coming out experience... phew. My family isn't the most openminded bunch, though they claim to be.

My mom cried because she thought it meant We were messed up and needed to be hospitalized, my stepdad doesn't believe multiplicity exists (as well as a lot of things)... but my friends, my soul-family, they were all very understanding, and hell, some of them knew and said "Oh yeah, I knew that already." I was very lucky in that aspect. I don't much care for my blood family anyway, so it's too bad.

I hope that things get easier for you. You've done the hardest part already :)
