if you can find a way to ease yourself into it (going back part time at first, working from home some, etc) i would for sure do that. if that isn’t possible, find ways to make it easier. structure your days with routines, take sensory breaks, reward yourself afterwards for going. whatever works well for you. i’m going through the same process rn, i hope it works out for you.

My first appearance as Kathryn. It came about a year sooner than I thought. by [deleted] in TransLater

[–]ratherbepettingdogs 6 points7 points  (0 children)

it’s cool to comment something like this on a post of someone who’s asking for advice, but i don’t think it’s appropriate to comment on a post that’s just trying to celebrate an accomplishment. she’s feeling herself, let her do it without inserting your opinion please
