Title: Helping others
Post by: mowdan6 on September 16, 2011, 03:43:47 PM
I have come full circle.  Hard journey, but I am now out and about, and the fears I had about doing so, have, for the most part, been in my head.  I have lost alot of people, but that is not why I am posting this.  I am posting because, I see so many trans people giving up on their dreams of being complete...out of fear.  And i sit here, at my computer, wondering, what can I do to help?  I live in a state where I can honestly say. I do not know of one other trans person.  This is a long hard journey.  Not one to be taken lightly.  If I had known years ago the loss I would have suffered, I probably would have stayed my suicidal self.  But there is light at the end of the tunnel.  I am now the man I always wanted to be.  And, I want to help others.  I know the journey is hard and lonely.  Let me know how I can help.

It's said helping another is the best way to help oneself and also the best cure for depression. Lot of truth in that.

I have had the opportunity to help others and you'll be amazed how much it not only helps them, but helps you inside as well.

I think your offer is great, I also like to help others if I can, it does make one feel better, it has helped make me happy when I am sad and even helped my dysphoria at times.
I hope that if there are any of you out there that need help or are not sure how to ask for help or even if your scared to ask for help, please do not be.  Ask for help now it does get better.
Mowdan6 thanks again for your kind offer to help, I am glad you made it to the end of your hard journey to find and express yourself, now you can truly live your life.  Aloha nui loa.
