This is my happy place, keeps the brain going ! Just posting rubbish in my diary helps to get the brain uncluttered.

Quote from: Katie Ellen on September 11, 2024, 04:49:32 PMJust for the record...disappointment and depression for more than a week now. Every day seems harder than the previous. Getting worn down. Support system at a bare minimum! So tough right now. Hopeless feelings are taking over more and more. Sorry! I don't mean to only come here during the bad times!

I'm so sorry to hear you're feeling this way.

Sometimes, when I feel this way I take a break and do something different that brings me joy for a mood changer. Doesn't have to be some thing big, even small acts of self-care makes a big difference for me. Hang in there this too shall pass.

Sending you warm thoughts and virtual hugs,

Katie Ellen,


Merry Christmas!

So it's been about 9 months since I last posted. I decided around the first of the year to just stop any further transition. I'm doing ok with it. I try not to think about it anymore. Cut my hair off in March. It is much easier.

Anyway, most of you probably don't even know me. Thought I'd just update anyway.

Hi Katie,
Thanks for the update.  It is understandable considering today's politics. 
Marion

Hugs dear.

I most certainly do remember you and I have be wondering why you had
stopped being involved here on the Forum...

It is good for me to know that you are alive and kicking.

All of us have to make difficult decisions regarding our life path. 
No matter what you have decided or will decide about your transition and life endeavors
please don't be a stranger here on the Forum.  I will always eagerly look forward
to seeing and reading any of your future updates and postings here.

Stay safe, stay healthy, and do come back to share more of your story when
you feel comfortable doing so.

Many HUGS, and my best wishes to you for a happy and successful life.

Hi Raegan--I'm one of those who never met you until now. I read through some earlier posts and wish I had. I'm so interested in learning more about you as you suspend your transition. To me, that seems like a decision as significant as beginning transition. Like Maid Marion said, these are not the best of times.
