Oh, god I'm sorry to hear that!

For me it was going to see my kids...my ex took offense to what I was wearing and pulled the kids out of the car...I haven't seen them since.

Peace and love,

Tough one to answer, its been a tough year:

Got a job I really liked and lost it due in no small part to my gender
Got robbed and assaulted
Was falsely accused of fraud and interviewed under caution
Have repeatedly been very ill (currently I cannot speak as I have completely lost my voice and am in constant pain even with painkillers)
My grandfather is currently on his last legs at 99 following another heart attack
My financial situation is pretty dire due to my having to be back out under my own power before I was ready to do so


However, I'm still smiling & next year is a fresh start!

pretty much the whole thing...had a crappy job and couldn't pay bills...then got fired for using a coupon...couldn't draw unemployment because i got fired...was unemployed for about 2 months...couldn't buy any gifts for people because i've been paying bills...

let's hope this new job works out and that i will actually be able to keep some money!

Hum...lets see.

• I suffered from some unknown viral infection for the last two weeks of February and the first two weeks of March.
• I spent one month on unpaid sick leave
• I was laid off from my job in April
• I have been unable to find work since
• I came-out to my family in July
• I separated from my spouse in July
• I am currently going through a nasty divorce
• I moved into a spare bedroom at a safe house for transsexuals
• I am almost four months behind on my car payments and repossession is just around the corner
• I have been suffering from depression since February of this year
• My wife isn't letting me see the kids
• I attempted suicide in March
• I attempted suicide in August...not once, but twice...two days apart
• I spent almost two weeks in the mental health ward of the hospital...not by choice either...rather by court order
• I spent my 42nd birthday in handcuffs and shackles while being transported to the hospital for observation

Guess I can't pick which one is actually the lowest point...but god...I hope I have already had it...

Peace and love,
Isabelle St-Pierre

oy, I only said one.

having to go back and forth between the "male" lie, and being myself for 3 months before school got out. almost drove me insane

   whenever I planned my suicide.

I wish I was not reminded of this. It was going to suceed  - it was well planed with no chance of anyone stopping me.

I was in Death Valley.

Well, when I look back on 2007 I think that I'll remember it as being perhaps the most IMPORTANT, life-altering year of my life, it's when I started transitioning.

I think the low point for me would be the realization that my marriage would be better off being a friendship, losing my job when my company went under, going through the pre-coming out "oh-my-god-what-the-f-is-going-to-happen-to-me" feeling that I think most people go through and just the general transition related uncertainty.

The amazing thing is that for all the changes and different things that have happened, I have no regrets and know that I am doing what I have to do. Low points are only low points because you recognize that you've had points HIGHER than those particular points, if that makes sense. You need some mid and high points to even know that you have low points. I guess it's making lemonade out of lemons

Typical response but attempted suicide.

Melanie's death due to cystic fibrosis.   you're always in my thoughts dear

Attempted suicide, wasnt serious so didnt work lol.
Think that was in march, pretty much went of the rails for a fair bit then got put on anti-depressants.
Started cutting really badly... *Been a good boy and havent for a while. Yay!*

The beginning. At the start of this year I was seriously depressed trying to find a label for myself. During the year I have slowly realised that there's no need to do that in a hurry, if at all. I'm a lot more comfortable with myself now.
The other low point was when I got some random illness on easter sunday, which gave me bad random pains all over my body for about a month. For the first couple of weeks pretty much all I could do was lie in bed in pain. The doctors still don't know exactly what was wrong with me, their best geuss is a bad reaction to some kind of bacterial infection. Since then I have slowly recovered and I'm pretty much ok now, still some random back ache, but nothing major.

I separated from my fiance for one month last year.  That month was the hardest time I'd had in a very long time.  We had certain misunderstandings that we worked on and everything is back to normal again.
