I have PTSD.
From bullying and abuse.
In addition to all the other issues I have (autism, depression, anxiety, paranoia, and gender dysphoria), I also have PTSD. Everytime I have a flashback to the bullying and abuse, I feel like I want to hurt or even kill somebody. It hurts like hell. And I cannot get it out of my head.
Would HRT alleviate some of that?

@MadisonJoan After reading your post my very first thought is that you really should have a serious discussion with your doctor and with your therapist and/or your gender therapist about all the physical and mental health issues, and feelings and reactions that you are dealing with and certainly you need to have their opinion regarding
if you can safely add HRT and transitioning to the mix.
Have you already been discussing your possible transitioning plans with any of them?
Anyway, that is my best suggestion and response.... all the emotions that you mentioned are obviously serious things that can affect your future and well-being, so I am hoping and praying that you can get some of those things properly taken care of and medically discussed
before you move too far forward with your transition plans. Transitioning will certainly give you a new "life" focus and could possibly help.... or it could make things worse.
I will be eagerly looking for your follow up posts and comments as you sort these issues out. Do the safe thing, talk to the professionals regarding all what you mentioned.
Here on the forums we are your biggest fans and are always rooting for you.
Hugs and well wishes as always,
