Does anyone else feel like...

[Confused888]

They can't stand the depression from hiding it anymore but keep stalling in doing anything about it because you think everyone is going to think you're insane? Ugh I'm so sad and can't get past this hurdle..I've been posting a lot because I can not hide it anymore and it's like I'm at my end of repressing it...

This is going to come as a huge shock to my family and I can't seem to muster up the courage to just be like this is what's wrong and I need to transition....they're not the type of people to just be like OK, that's cool...I can just see their jaws dropping now...I told my mom already which was hard enough...this just seems to be the hardest part for me but as soon as they know, I'll feel better and ready to transition

It is hard but whether they accept it or not, it is who you are.  This is a huge part of you and repressing it hurts.  They love you and once they understand, they will be happy that you are happy.  If not, then you don't need them in your life.

Now lets jump this hurdle and reach the finish!

Things will get better and better.  You'll see.

It will get easier, the Hard part is comming out. How did your mum take it? Some may need some time to take it in.

it is hard and it gets easier a little, but it takes time, I went away for like a month, came back, told my family I was transgender lol I wouldn't recommend that, when you do come out. just its like pulling off a bandage, just do it, have you tried seeing a therapist first? it might help, i know it can cause depression, before I saw a therapist, I went into a bad depression over it, before I came out, once my friends found out though and my mom, it still wasn't easy, it takes time, but long as you keep pushing through, you will be alright, going to the gym became like a therapy for me, I been going almost every day now and it makes me feel better, it might help you, it helps me when I start becoming depressed
