Today I'm headed out in public for the first time without a bandage covering it. I'm not too worried about being stared at. I spend most of my life being gawked at and having people say and do rude things to me because I am gay. At least now those people will actually have something to stare at. I'm still nervous though. My mom will be with me and the rest of my family. I feel like I'm becoming a burden to my family even though they haven't said or done anything to suggest that. But I will be brave. Does anyone suffer from PTSD? My sister in law said I was probably experiencing it. I wish it would go away
