    Hi, I just joined. So a little about me... My name is Kris. I was born female but always just felt wrong. I got very depressed when I was in high school and started self harming. At the time I didn't understand why I felt so badly about myself, I just knew I didn't like who I was. I eventually attempted suicide and got help with the depression. I have come to the realization that I identify myself as a gay male so I guess it's not so much that I am confused about who I am, as much as that I don't know how to get myself there. I am not out to anyone about my feelings and am just looking for a place to be able to talk with people who might understand. So anyways that was a lot longer than intended, but Just wanted to introduce myself.

    How should I say, I had the same feeling when I was young, when I started to identify myself. And be honest, I attempted to kill myself when I was lost. It's all about accepting who you really are and making your own way to live and survive for the rest of your life.
