Greetings. It's been a while since I visited any online forum, but I felt drawn to this place specifically, so I thought it might be time to be a little bit more social online again. I'm a 27 year old trans man, but will turn 28 in April, which I'm realising is rather soon. I live on an island belonging to Sweden, and am Swedish. I'm considered somewhat mentally disabled by my contacts at the psychiatry since forever, but have been doing much better for the past year now. I started my transition at 19 but it's been a very, very slow process as I'm still not quite on the other side yet, due to both my mental health issues and doctors who have been difficult to work with. Still very much want to go through with bottom surgery but that's all that's left, except from keep taking testosterone then. I actually did find this forum as I was looking for more information about bottom surgery.
Other stuff about me that might be interesting to know is that I spend most of my time reflecting over my life in various different aspects, drawing quite a bit, writing some and playing world of warcraft, if I'm not just scrolling on tumblr or something. Sometimes I do go to school as well, but it's not even half-time now. Still trying to get my grades up, those equal to high school level, but I'm lacking motivation. When it comes to my creativity, I'm only self taught in traditional drawing and I would say I've gotten about as far as I can teach myself. Art school of some kind is of interest in the future. With writing I mostly focus on poetry and some short stories, though I have written one book as well but it does need a lot of editing before even considering publishing. Mostly I write in English even though it's not my native language. I listen to all kinds of music, but mainly prefer genres like ebm and synth. Style wise my look is a mix of masculine versions of dark mori and Edwardian goth. I don't watch tv, rarely watch movies and spend most of my time alone, but I do generally prefer being alone. However it's nice with company sometimes as well. I don't have much of any friends where I live now, but still keep in touch with friends from where I used to live before. I'm close with my family. I consider myself gay and recently broke up with my latest boyfriend, but I'm not really sad over that. I knew it was time to move on.
Trying to not make this introduction a huge wall of text, as that tends to be a habit of mine, so I will stop here for now. But I do look forward to check out more of this forum/website, read a lot of posts and share some of my own experiences here and there. I always like answering questions of all kinds, so if you've got any, that's all good, but no need to feel pressured or anything. Also I rarely use smileys, but that doesn't necessarily mean I'm bitter
