    mention of suicidal thoughts

    I think many people here relate to those feelings (me included). For me, it became pretty clear that I would never be happy/okay if I kept ignoring this part about me. I’ve been struggling with my mental health for so long and although my coping mechanisms became healthier, my mental state has been declining steadily over the years. I’ve dealt with suicidal thoughts for a long time and came to the conclusion that if I didn’t follow this path of transition, it would only get worse.

    I have doubts almost every day and am extremely afraid of coming out to my family and friends. But I also know that this is my only path so I keep taking steps I’m comfortable with and hope that the steps that seem impossible now will seem less scary when I get closer. I also know that I can go back any time I want in case I take a step too far.

    If you want to share more about your doubts feel free to, maybe some of us can help you walk through them.

      same

      Same man. Years and years of thoughts and bad coping mechanisms. I have known for long before I even considered being trans I could not live an entire life this way.

      I'm scared of that too. I know at least one of my family members will not accept me. Fortunately its one of the ones idc about but still... you know. Especially because I'll probably still have to see them for family events and stuff. I really don't know if I see myself being able to go back once I start taking steps. Back to the bad thoughts, I think if I start taking E and had to stop or something... it would be very bad. I don't think I could do that.

      Not as much of a doubt but watching the entire world collapsing and constant fear mongering over trans people is not good for me lea-sweat but I think I already said most of my doubts. Its mostly just if I'll actually get what I want, I suppose.
