Uhm... Hi. As you can probably tell , I'm new here.... I've only told four other people that I am transgendered/ wish to be (which is the correct term for some one who has not yet done so?). Those four people are my best friends, and my sister. I can't tell anyone else in my family. To start, they're already old fashioned and my dad hates me. It doesn't help that, like most religions, there seems to be a stigma towards non cisgendered people in Islam.(Yes I'm muslim. Got a problem?). I've never been sure about myself, in fact when it comes to myself it's the subject I know LEAST about. I'm not even sure if I'm Pansexual or bisexual. To make matters worse I haven't exactly had the ideal past and may possibly suffer from bi-polar disorder or a similar disorder.in the past my emotions have often overwhelmed me and I have harmed myself. I'm... Trying to stave it off, with some help from my absolutely amazing best friend. I hope that by ole inning up here I'll be able to figure out how to tackle one of the larger problems in my life.... So yea. That's me!
Hi there, and welcome to Empty Closets! Congratulations on coming out to your three best friends and to your sister. It is fantastic that you felt comfortable enough and decided to come out to them. Coming out, and being able to be more open about yourself and having somebody to talk to, will give you chances to get to know yourself better. With time, you'll figure out all the things you are unsure about at the moment. I'm glad that you have support from your friends, and that having them in your life, helps you in trying to overcome self-harming. Feel free to talk about anything your would like to talk about or find answers to. Welcome aboard!
