Kellsie

Hi all, I am Kellsie and so that everyone can see, life is not impossible.  Here we go!  I came out to my now ex wife 4 years ago, she had a hard time at first and we even split up for six month.  We eventually got back together and I began my transition from Kirk to Kellsie.  I began seeing a gender therappist and a year later started HRT.  During this time I began to work on passing!!  Over the course of two years it seemed lik we were bestest friends. 
April of 2011 we both ended up in a deep depression and I was picked up by the local pd for suicidal thougts and homicidal tendencies.  I was taken to our hospital and treated for severe depression.  While on our psych ward I and another patient decided we needed a LGBT support group in our city.  Thus the idea was born.  two months later we had a name and the group was born.  We were holding meetings in a book store.  A month later I recieved a email saying I needed to get out she could not handle it anymore.  I was hospitlized again.  I ended up at a homeless shelter, jobless and an emotional wreck.  I concentrated on myself.  I found  a job, a girlfriend and got my name legally changed.  I found a house, moved in with my now fiance', restructured our group, now working on becoming nonprofit and a building.  I said all that to say this.  LIFE IS S****y, but you can do it.  IF LIFE HANDS YOU LEMONS, MAKE WHAT EVER YOU CAN OUT OF THEM.
Smile, everyone will wonder what you are up to.
