Music and taking classes helped me alot during my transition.
This was before JWN and way before my first meet-up with XJW's. At the time I did not consider myself an 'X'; merely inactive due to conscience matters. So I kept my distance from non-JW's and JW's alike. All for far too long.
I don't remember your situation so will leave further comments for others.
All the best on your personal journey.
