Hello!
I'm not necessarily /new/ to the site, but I only just started posting regularly.
My name is Ryan Daniel H.
I'm 17 almost 18, living in North Texas!
I came out as a trans man about 6 years ago, on December 24, 2009.
I told my friends first, and in 2011 I told my mother.
A week after I told my best friend of 10 years that I was gonna come out to my mother, she got a call from an unknown number. It was me calling to say my mother had sent me to a psychiatric hospital. After that I attended conversion therapy. Many suicide attempts ensued.
Since then I was forced back in the closet. I've been outed and nearly-outed multiple times, always getting severely reprimanded until I took it back. One time I was kicked out for 24 hours because my parents were so against having a trans child.
Now I live fully out at school and with friends- just absolutely not around my parents (even my grandparents and cousins know).
In 2011 I was diagnosed with Major depressive disorder, and panic disorder.
In 2012 I was misdiagnosed with schizophrenia
In winter of 2014 I was correctly diagnosed with BPD(Borderline Personality Disorder)
Hopefully on these boards I can give some advice to younger DFAB trans people, meet others in similar situations as me or in the same age group as me.
I look forward to talking with you all! :+)
