I felt just like that, I would get the letter and I would feel ill at the thought it posed in writing for a few days. I decided that since I wasn't S active, there was no rush and I should only go when I was ready. I wasn't ready until I was 27, and although I wished I had had the courage to go earlier, I was very glad I waited. The emotional change is usually visually obvious, my brother in law thought I had a boyfriend, he didn't realise, but the affect was the same, it makes you more sexually mature. You become a woman. It was fine, but the anticipation was dire. but brilliant once I was in the room. It will help you a lot, to really explore your body and become more at ease with being naked around the house, masturbate so you know what you like, and feel inside you, so you know what it might feel like. any preparation will help you make that step. but you have to work at it as if you don't, you will find it hard to enter into any sexual relationship and at all until you can approach your doctor about these personal female matters. but take your time and whatever the letter says there is a very low risk of problems if you are not s active. but will find it helpful to go to a doc if you have a lot menstrual pains and other problems. so the sooner you can feel good about it the more liberated you will be. it really is a liberation not to be too embarrassed about it, but you need to work at that.
