Hello all,
I have been a lurker for a very long time. I have used the information in this form and I have found it to be very useful. I figured I could give back and finally become a bit more social.
I am currently 29 years old. I was born male. I grew up in a Baptist household for my childhood. I didn't see any therapist or counselors until I was 25. I was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder after seeing a therapist for a few months. At the same time I was diagnosed with Major Depression Disorder. I was put on Prozac and a couple of other medications. After working with a therapist for a while I started getting working through some of the mental damage I reached an all time low. I have survived 2 suicide attempts. In my last attempt I tried to preform some self surgery. After spending about a month or so in hospital and finally getting a mix of meds under control I finally was put in touch with a Gender Specialist. I was still repressing my true female self. I spent 2 years transitioning from Male to Eunuch. I was placed on Lupron about a year and a few months ago. I was able to work through enough of my issues to finally get off my psych meds. I have been off of those for about year and a half. I've been living as my true self for about three months now. I have been on estrodial for 2 months. Just yesterday I had an Orchiectomy.
There is a lot I can share from my experiences. This was a quick over view of what I have been through. Ask questions and I would be more than happy to elaborate.
