You ever feel trapped and no way out..and u feel yourself becoming more and more depressed an unsure of how to start...u dream it, u taste it, u know what to do..but things get in the way...and the real thing is MONEY...This town is so small and being who I want, well they wont let me...they would crucify me....I know this is not where I am suppose to be...but damnit sometimes I think I'm never getting out of here to find a place that is more accepting with me...and no money means no way there and no way there means I cant get a job and no job means no place to live to start my new life as the man I need to be...and that I am inside...
Its like I am in a hole...yelling out...and everyone passes by...some yell back.."I will let you out if you stay here and remain a girl, a boi, or butch" But that's not me...that's not the person under it all..and the more time goes on the more I feel lost...walking around with this mask...My friend knows that I live with..but she just says...I will love you even if you never go threw with it all...and that's touching and all but in reality, I DONT love me....I hate the person I see in the mirror every morning...to the point I want to bust out the glass, smashing it all to hell...every mirror..but that wouldn't help would it...
Why does everything have to be so damn hard...
My friend bless her heart, goes and buys me Men's vitamins...and shes gonna get this stuff to boost the Testosterone in my body...lol Umm I have none to boost...and she tries to substitute the other...
I know what to do...I just cant...and its driving me so crazy that its sinking me into depression...my gf is trying so hard to help..but she can only do so much where she is...She knows where I need to be...
Maybe this is telling me its not suppose to be...
I am just so lost...

I know how you feel, rural environments can be horrid, and the solutions may not be apparent but I think there is always a way forward. That way forward might not be terribly quick though.

Are there jobs like Best Buy, Target, or the like near? or is your small town even smaller? If there are jobs like that around you may be able to get something so that you can get some money to move out. Those two in particular have store polices protecting gender identity and sexual orientation, though they might not be always enforced, even if you aren't out, it isn't good that someone could out you and get you fired.

once you have a bit of cash you can do anything, move, get certs, go to college, etc. I have came to the conclusion that financial independence is really the only solution if you want to transition without really wealthy and/or supportive parents.

What I would do, is try and build a goal in life, such as transisiton if that is what you want, then define the specifics of what that goal needs, such as the total amount of money, where you need to move to, etc. And then define what you think you need to accomplish those things, such as education, or transportation, etc and then break those down into small easily attainable goals.

I know I feel really good when I accomplish a goal, even a tiny one, that puts me further to what I want. Just make small little steps and try and try not to rush too much, and try and enjoy the ride. I for one, know I wanted too long, and feel the burning urge to make up lost time, but I know that haste can be detrimental to good planning sometimes.
15 years on Susans, where has all the time gone?
