Stress

[Lisa-tg]

Hi, this stress is really getting to me now, im married with 2 small kids and run a business and my wife doesnt know.  My brain has been screaming at me 24/7 for the past few months after being quite for about a year, it keeps getting worse,  i cant enjoy going out anywhere since there are women everywhere  so i look at how they are dressed ect.  my therapist had suggested hormones would at least make myhead feel normal and i could still present as male,  so i guess ill have to talk to her soon ugh.

Good luck. I faced the same dilemma -- to the point that I'd purposefully avoid looking at women due to intense envy and self-hatred brought on my doing so. I soon started taking estrogen, and it mitigated a lot of my distress. My initial intent was to transition in secrecy, which I know would have worked a lot better than not transitioning at all, but I was outed by someone I confided in. Here I am now, unashamed of my decision to actualize my true self, and I'm excited for you to potentially do the same.
