Katie - As many have transitioned off the job as on; it is just a matter of timing and circumstances.  It sounds like you have support from (at least your) immediate family.  Often that is the best launching platform you could ask for. 

One thing you might want to consider, with your IT background, is places like telemarketing or call centers. I also know that some companies look for 'contract employees' who will/can work from home.  I have no idea how you find this out; YOU are the one from IT.  *smile*

Don't get discouraged; it's a long road ahead and many potholes to circumnavigate.  Be yourself, don't rush and above all, don't push.  You'll get there when you get there.  Don't look at it as an ordeal; call it your brand new huge adventure.

Good luck!

Hi Katie,

first of all congrats that you've done another step and my best wishes for you for your new full-time-life as yourself. I wished I was so far yet to start my life as Julia full-time ... Its also wonderful to read that you get support from your partner and your children, i think for anyone in our group, who starts transition with a family in her background its the best thing when the family stands behind her and supports her ...

Otherwise ist sad to hear about your job, but I wish you the best that you'll very soon find a new job you can even start yet as yourself working again!

Love & hugs! Julia
