Hi everyone,
After being confused and in denial for years I finally opened up to my therapist about my confusion (read more about it here: clickie (https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,159810.0.html). I went to see her after having physical problems because of my inner confusion (hyperventilation and chest pains), she has diagnosed me with severe depression, and is not a specialist on gender issues. Talking about it was a huge relief and helped me to overcome my feelings of shame and confusion, so I decided to make an account. I'm currently trying to accept myself as being the girl I should've been from birth.
