Hiya! I just wanted to introduce myself here. I just found this site and am looking for some people to talk about and maybe make some friends. Guess this is where I should talk about myself so be warned that I'm a pretty bad writer also I apologize if I say anything bad or things im not supposed to.
My name is Pia. (I totally have a lame username lol xd) i live in canada and have lived here my entire life. I'm kind of sad I can't have a profile pic yet but ill get there some day. So my story is not the most interesting. I always felt like I was born as the wrong gender. When I was a little kid I liked to play with dolls and would wear my sisters clothes when I was home alone. My family was pretty religious and I used to pray to God that I would wake up as the woman I want to be. Alas nowadays i am not religious at all, probably because of those times. I remember reading about it online while in elementary school. However my family was quite homophobic so I kind of just suppressed it.
I spent the next 10 or so years suffering from severe depression, resulting in multiple trips to hospitals and all sorts of psychiatrist visits. My sanctuary was video games. I got quite good at the games and put all my time into it. I didn't have many friends and spent most of my time hiding from the world.
That was my life till last year. I was at the lowest i ever was. I won't write about how bad it got. But eventually I just broke down at a psychiatrist appointment and said my inner secret and fainted in the office. Woke up and then things started to turn around
I joined a Trans support group in the area and started talking about it with my psychiatrists. Things were suddenly looking up. I was feeling better about myself and moved along with it in private until I was able to build the strength to start coming out. Overall, my experience coming out was amazing. So many people were so nice about it that it didn't take long for me to start full time. I knew a bit about make up and bought prosthetic bra and lots of clothes. And started hormones thanks to my family doctor.
Now my whole life has changed around. I am a fairly active member in the support group and a full time university student. I am not the best student since I'm still struggling to deal with some old habits. I am much happier than I have ever been. Looking to be finishing my second year with a class or 2 this summer before my srs.
The big thing that has given me problems as a woman is my body/facial hair and my genitals. I got my own laser hair removal machine which I intend to use quite religiously
i will probably make a topic about my plans and stories about srs that I plan to do soon.
Soooo anyway thats my story. No idea how my writing is or if i did something I shouldn't have. Buuuut anyways. Hi!
would love to talk to people. I am kind of very shy but silly when I am comfortable.
Thanks for taking the time to read this! -Pia
