Welcome to EC! Its great to see that you were able to get to the decision of doing what's best for you, regardless on how you go there. Hope everything goes well for you and enjoy your time on EC. We can help make the wait seem less terrible
Hoping that getting involved in a site like this helps make things seem a little more bearable o.x Thanks! (*hug*)
Welcome to EC, Zeketra! I hope things work out with therapy. I know it has with me. I'm working through a lot of issues that revolve around my transsexualism. Self-esteem, body image, depression... All that fun stuff. Also look into joining a support group. Those help a lot too.
Yeah, all that fun stuff.. x.x These support groups, can you tell me more about them? (>?-?)> And hello! (*hug*)
Well, the therapist I see also runs a transgender support group. It's where transgendered people meet to share their experiences. It's important to meet others in your situation, who understand what you're going through.
Hi Zeketra, I'm Kiersten! I can certainly sympathize with you and everything you're going thru! Welcome sooo much to EC! (*hug*) I have known since I was about 10 yrs old that I'm female, but I've spent most of my life trying to deal with it unsuccessfully. I know that when I finally started accepting myself for who I was at the end of June, I was so glad to have found EC & everyone here is sooo supportive here! I've also spent much of my life depressed & even suicidal because I've felt wrong, but I have finally taken charge & taken steps to move forward with who I am! I came out here on EC at the end of June & just came out to my first friend on Sunday, which she was so supportive of, so I'm already feeling better. I'm also waiting to make an appointment with a therapist (she's not back in her office until Oct), and I really want to get on HRT & get myself on the path to GRS and my life as myself as soon as possible. There are no LGBT support groups where I live, so I've pretty much decided to start one at my college this fall. If you ever need to chat, I'm here for you girl if you wanna talk! Once again, welcome to EC!!! (*hug*)
Hey kiersten! xP Yeah, it was around that time when i realised somthing was definatly wrong. I sat in denial for almost 10 years, school life was pretty tough and i didnt fit in anywere trying to be... ehem.. you know... Might have been more successful had i at least understood it sooner x.x But! things have changed! And im no longer scared of being who i am! I would love to chat with you somtime!!! xP (*hug*) Thanks pink, i think il have to wait until i make it to the gender clinic for that.. in a matter of months x.x unless of course i find before then, il keep on the lookout <3
