New Here

[ShyMary]

Uhhm hello.

Well I thought I guess I should introduce myself. Uhhm well i am kind of shy and dont really have any friends. Also my family is not so great haha.

I don't really do much, just go to work. And deal with a stressful family. And take care of my pets. And laze about.

I actually already made a thread but was directed here.

I am not out of the closet or anything. And my mom who is against such stuff lives with me, so that can be tough.

I have kind of thought about taking hormones but idk about it.

I guess maybe I could also mention that I kind of struggle with depression and anxiety and stuff, since I haven't mentioned it to anybody haha.

I guess I joined here just to be around, I'll probably just read over things, im not really so good with talking or expressing myself.

@ShyMary 
Hello again ShyMary:
It's me again, thank you for following the LINK to come here to the Introductions Forum that  I provided for you in my Welcome Messages on the first thread that you posted recently today.   

Now, more members here at Susan's Place and regulars on the Forums will be aware of your arrival... you can expect more sharing of thoughts and information that you can receive and also give as you make new acquaintances and friends here.

Again, Welcome to Susan's Place
Wishing you well,
Danielle

Hi Mary
No need to be shy I think we all felt
that way at first.
 
Your comment about not having any friends is pretty much now invalid. Because I guarantee you'll find many here because we're all pretty much of the same kind.
And we can relate to each other through shared experiences which can really prove invaluable because now you found your second family that really cares about you and will do our best to help you in any way.
Many of us here have shared with your feelings of depression anxiety and many other symptoms.
But now you found your Ray of Hope at this place.
Just engage other members and I guarantee your journey of self exploration will come into a clearer view

Please do not think you're not good at expressing yourself.
I think you did an excellent job.

All the very best for your future I hope you find this day a turning point in your life for the better.

  Love Tatiana

Hi Mary! Be bold...let your shyness dissipate.

[ShyMary]

Feels nice to have someone.

I appreciate the kind messages.

A nice contrast on this dreary day.

Hey Mary

Nice to meet you Welcome here and feel free to share your thoughts and concerns when you'll be ready
Many of us met such problems too. F. e., I live with depression even now (though it can't touch me while I'm here with such nice people haha ^_^ ). What you need is some friends who will support you (feel free to look for support here ) and probably some gender therapist who can help you with searching for answers and probably with depression and anxiety.

Just remember you're not alone in this world

Hi, and welcome here.  We all went through something like you have.  And I think your depression is plain dysphoria.

You are lucky that you are still so young getting onto the way.  I was for decades locked in a closet, until I almost exploded.

this si the group who will take you by the hand and help yu through!

Mary. I am shy too, but I am finding myself coming out of my shell. It took me over 60 years. It's getting more comfortable talking about others and their struggles and not so much about myself. Oh it's not like I don't tell my experiences but after 2 1/2 years on Susan's I am looking to help others so they don't have to go through what I have. It will be especially hard now but we can all get through this together.
