Sad and Lost

[T2Logan]

I don't have much to write at the moment.  My thoughts are too scattered and would not be too coherent if I wrote them out. I'm just very sad, angry, and frustrated with many situations encompassing the gender identity. I was just wondering if I could get some support and understanding. I'm sure many of you have experienced those feelings too. Perhaps tomorrow I'll be more with it to be able to write things out.

I feel you. I've been down recently and I know it can be hard to put it into words. Chin up.

I could sit here and tell you that it will be OK, and that things will work out, but that seems hollow to me. Here's what you should do, go take a long shower, then watch your favorite movie, and pamper yourself. Get your mind out of those feelings, because if you let them stew they will only get worse. I'm speaking from experience. Whenever I get down and depressed, I make an active choice to get myself out of that situation.

Oh heck, yeah.  I'll bet most of us have been there more than a few times.  The good news is, there is a light at the end of the tunnel.  It may be frustratingly slow getting there, but there is a way out.  Interestingly enough, it always seems as if when you hit the wall and feel as if things will never get any better, that's when something finally breaks through and you start making progress again.  I hope you start feeling better soon.

P.S.  You look like a really cute guy in your avatar.

Reactive depression, which is what you have, is caused when we know something is wrong in our lives.

I'm sorry to sound blunt here, I care and sympathise more than you possibly know, but you need to stop feeling sorry for yourself and work out what you are going to do with your life.

Yes, you want to transision now. No-one doubts that.

But the reality is, you can't. Unfair, sad, tragic?

All yes, but it's reality.

Make you plan. Work out your priorities. You need an education and you need a career. That must come first.

Then, once you have worked out how you are going to achive those, try to work out how you can integrate your personal ambitions into that.

I feel like that a lot of the time..
Try playing video games, read a book. I find distracting myself from reality can do a word of good, if only for a few hours.

The first step is figuring out what the problem is.  The second is searching for solutions.

We're here.
