Hello!
I've been on Spiro and Estradiol for 6 months and my doc just increased my meds! Woot!
I don't really know how to engage in online forums very well. I'm trying to seek out community, both on and off line but I don't really have a lot in common with most of the transgender folks at the local GLBTQ center. But I also don't really have a lot in common with most of the cis-women I know either. So while I love my body now and love this person I'm becoming, I've had a hard time connecting with others. I haven't found my community.
My wife just told me she wants to get a divorce. The worse part is that she also came out as a lesbian... so basically she wants "the real deal". The bite stings.
But I am also relieved because she was recently diagnoses with borderline personality (along with a bunch of other mental health issues). So as much as that hurt, I'm glad to let her go because living with someone with BPD has been a depressing 10 year roller coaster. For all I know, she was just lying to manipulate me as she has been doing for a decade now. Needless to say, I'm a but jaded but at the same time, trying really hard to enjoy this person that I am without the chains of my soon-to-be ex.
Anyway, this is just a first step and I hope to be back here. I'm going to make an effort to participate here! (part of my therapy homework, too!)
For now, I go by Tara but in real life, I haven't quite figured out a name that I like. Nice to see so many people trying to just be happy as themselves!
:-)
