Cliffs:
-Was on 4 anti-depressants/anxieties (Cymbolta + Abilify + Welbutrin + Xanax) for a period of months to help me come out of my depression and to cope with my gender issue
-Was numb and indifferent to my cross-gender desires during that time, the pain lightened some
-Experienced bad side effects from that cocktail of drugs
-Got off of one of one and reduced the other.
-Back to thinking about my cross-gender desires constantly, the pain of not having what I desire is back, the thoughts of wanting to be a girl are more intense, the feelings of needing to be a girl is more intense, to experience life as a girl, to have sex as a girl....all those things are back with a vengeance.
-Back to feeling pessimistic about my future as a guy
-These feelings seem completely irrational, but nevertheless they are still there
-Back to browsing all of my old favorite transgender websites (I had purged myself of them for over a month)
-Can't help but remember one of my favorite quotes by Bertrand Russell (philosopher, mathematician, Nobel prize laureate in literature): "To be without some of the things you want is an indispensable part of happiness," but I'm not very convinced
