Hi liberty! It's so 'encouraging' to hear how well you're doing after just a year! I have only been mentally out for afew months but I too can see a positive change within myself. Last week my unbelieving dad said he'd noticed I was happier and more bubbly- that says it all!
You said you still find it hard to fit in- me too. I find myself either isolating myself or kinda forcing my friendship onto my worldly workmates!! Haha I guess after 30 years of just being 'accepted' (to a degree) at the KH I now have to figure out how to cultivate friendships!
Anyway, good for you. Are you going to do something to celebrate your freedom?
Oh, and how do you know exactly was your exit date was? I think I might make mine the date that I made my first post on here.
