Hi everyone,

It has been almost 1 year since I started hrt. I didn't know it would be so hard.. I think the main reason I feel so hopeless is because I tend to focus on things I can't change.  I have zero faith in the people in my life ability to understand the fact that I'm trans. It isn't right to lump everyone into such a category but when you are reminded on a regular basis of the complete and utter ignorance within people what are you supposed to think?  Seeing my therapist tomorrow, hopefully it will help.

Big <hugs> sweetie.

Sadly, we can inform people,  raise their awareness, but can't ultimately control their minds and behaviour.
I'm glad you've got some some support, talking through this with a therapist is a good approach.

Where possible removing or reducing the presence in your life of those doing the most damage to you may help.

Keep strong. X

Hey Mariah

HUGS

Your never going to change people's views and thoughts about what your going through , but you can choose to ignore them , it's a time to remember that they obviously have nothing better in their lives going on than to focus on someone else's goings on.

Just remember your not alone in this world and there's always support in this group , as I have found out.

I am so sorry for your situation. We cannot change others only ourselves. In order for us to live our lives as we need to, we need to be very deliberate in everything we do to ensure our own happiness in life.

I speak from my own experiences. I needed to develop a way of living that was going to bring me happiness and peace. That meant being very deliberate in who was going to be a part of my life and who was not. I did not spare family in my actions.

We need to absolutely refuse to allow any person to stand in our path to interrupt our goals. This is our path in life. Those that want to walk with us in happiness and peace enhances our experience. Those who litter our path with disruptive egotism, get off and stay off until you fix your own issue's.

I wish you peace and happiness.
