    So, I didn't get myself admitted in a ward, but I visited my therapist. I talked to him, I felt better.
   
     Something happened to me last night in the bathroom. I was getting ready to sleep, when, I felt as if I had lost all the energy in my legs. I fainted, only to wake up on the bathroom floor 5-6 minutes later. I had banged my head, luckily, there was no blood, there was just a painful, throbbing, swelling.
     I think, I have blood loss anaemia. I have lost a lot of blood in the past few days, what with me cutting like a ninja, but that fall, brought me back to my senses, it was sort of like a revelation.
      I slept, with the decision to call my parents first thing in the morning.

       Since then, I have made calls to my dad, my mom, and they are coming to meet me here. I told them, that I have been seeing a therapist, I told them, that I was on medication for the past couple months.
        They have talked with my therapist, and we are going to have a meeting together, with him.

       My mom is calling me constantly, she now knows about my cutting. She thinks I have suicidal ideations. I could sense, she had been crying when she last called. My dad was trying to make me laugh, cracking silly jokes, to make the mood lighter. He is always like that, but I know, deep inside, he is hurt. I feel so guilty, so sad because I made them cry.
     
      They have always tried to be the best parents. It is me who failed them as their son.

      I wish I could make up for it somehow.


         Right now, a part of me is scared, another part of me is excited, and the rest of me is mostly relieved.


          I know, this decision to call my parents today, will go a long way, in defining me as an individual.


Thank you everyone for those who supported me, and hugs for those who need some support.

I'll keep updating.




Love,
Saira.

The first thing you have to remember is that being transgender is nobodies fault. Your parents didn't make you this way and you didn't chose to become transgender. In order to make up for this, just do your best to get well. Face your problems and do what it takes to find happiness. We become much better people when we are no longer avoiding the problem and we conquer it. The fact that they are coming to see you indicates they want you alive and well. Give them the time they need to adjust and I think they will remain with you.

Saira,

    I'm happy/relieved for you.  I hope you find telling people your story helps you as much as it helps me.  It's therapeutic for me to let people know.  Your parents obviously care and accept you. 

    Good luck and be true to yourself.

Oh, Saira, I'm so glad you've had that realization, sought help, and reached out to your family.  It sounds like they love you and care for you very much. 

You haven't failed them.  You've been wrestling with a really difficult problem that deeply troubles you.  It's not your fault.  It is something that is bigger than any of us can deal with on our own, really.  We've al needed help of some sort or another.  That's why we are here!

Like Dena says, just do your best to get well!

Don't be scared.  You're a human being, who needs some help, and you've reached out for it.  Now, I think help might be coming for you.

And, thank you for updating us.  We worry.

Hugs,
Michelle

Your parents deal with problems every day as well.  Still it seems they truly care. It also appears you have good friends that care. One day they will need a word of encouragement from you.

I bet you are feeling so much better!! Talking to your parents is the most daunting thing, and you said something, things will happen fast now.
You will have to give them time.
I still haven't been able to tell my dad.
Im so happy for you! :3

Good!  Thats how we are supposed to feel!

When I finally felt that after my therapy and treatment was underway, I thought of it as rejoining the human race.

    My parents are so supportive. Yesterday, we talked about my plan of action.
    I'll continue my therapy, and start on hormones in the near future.

     My dad was also comfortable talking about the various surgeries available.

      I'm under a kind of suicide watch in the house, I'm not allowed to keep my room locked, but I expected that.
      I think I hurt my mom more, than myself, when I made those cuts on my arm. I now know, I shouldn't have done that. I'll never ever attempt something like that.
 
      I started exercising, I want to be in a good shape when I start my hrt.

    I'm using mederma for my scars. Overall, life is good right now.
