About a month ago, my fiancé broke up with me because she stopped loving me and started loving someone else, and I lost my job. I had given up transitioning for her, and I thought about it every day, but other than that I was great. I lhad a decent job, I loved her, (I thought) she loved me, we spent every day (except when she was at his house) together.

Now I sit at home all day (moved back in with parents), mostly just sitting around and doing nothing, which has given me a lot of time to think, which is driving me crazy. After the initial shock and day of depression, I was relieved to be able to finally start doing what I need to do. Had a session with my therapist, came out to him, and he's supportive, and I spent the money I got back from the ring on a bunch of new girl clothes. But now the boredom, loneliness, and depression is really starting to kick in. I don't feel like I'm still hung up over her, but I miss having someone to spend these down times with, I miss having someone to watch Netflix with and play games with. I miss having a job to go to, the only time I'd ever get out and meet new people. Ever since then I've spent nearly every day just sitting in my room, alone. All those feelings of uselessness and loneliness have just come flowing back. Even though I finally know what I want to do with my life, I once again feel like it's all hopeless. I worry about my family abandoning me, or at the very least not being supportive, how I'm going to be able to afford transition (especially if they cut me from their health insurance), how it's going to affect my family (we have a lot of problems as it is), I'm worried about the toll its going to put on my parents losing their only son. Every day I spend sitting around my room, with nothing but my phone, my half-broken Xbox, and my thoughts to occupy my time, and all this pressure is driving me crazy. Oh, I also quit smoking 2 days ago, cold turkey, and I have had stomach ulcers for the last year or so. I'm not really sure what I'm looking for with all this, I guess I just needed to vent, and I know you guys will listen. Any input is greatly appreciated

I'm sorry you're going through heartbreak, but it sounds like a lot of things are really going pretty well for you.  You have a place to live, people who care about you, a phone, and even an X-Box!  I mean, you even have health insurance!!  You just need to find something to do that does involve going out.  Look for a job, see if there's any way you can contribute to your community, or even just go for a walk.  You need the Sun's rays to help regulate your serotonin levels.

BTW, great job on quitting smoking!  I quit cold turkey a month ago and am super excited that the only impedance to my having access to hormones now is my staggering poverty!

I'm just hoping they still care (and keep me on their insurance plan) once I come out to them :(
A full disowning wouldn't surprise me honestly, and even if they do accept it I'm worried what effect the news will have on my dad, don't want to depress him more than he is...
All I need to do right now is get a license and a job, I just have a lot of personal conflict going on, self-worth has kind of gone out the Window...
I do have things to be thankful for, but all the crap makes it hard to see, and even harder to appreciate any of it, especially the worry that it could all taken away pursuing my dream, my long, incredibly difficult dream...
Thanks for the kind words though, I know things will get better, but that time just seems so far, and right now really sucks :(

It is really tough when things like that happens. It never seems to be one thing either. Just a whole rush of problems.

What do you do?

Well, I sort of say a few swear words pick myself and get back into it. Go to a club or bar in some new clothes and hang out (safely). Push the boundaries a bit more. The 'no  one will mess with me' attitude.

Log in here and tell a bad joke.

Keep on keeping on and at the end of the day remember to love yourself for being a wonderful human being.
