Hello, where I am now in Life.

Hello everybody :)

I know I haven't been on here for like months!

(and I hope I started the topic in the right place..)

So I'm actually recovering from my eating disorder since september,

and I'm getting much better,

It's hard, it's though work but I know I can do this:

My therapist told me that if I wasn't healthy I couldn't even take hormones,

that made me react and try to fight against anorexia.

In the other way,

still impossible to talk to her about me being transgendered,

she hates to talk about it and still after so much years won't believe it's something serious,

she thinks it's just a phase:

But I think it's understandable, she is scared for me and confused herself.

12 days ago, I turned 15, I can't believe time passes so fast, when I joined on here it was like more than 3 years ago :o

I'm just excited to be 18, I'm excited to start my own life and take my own decisions and live life the way I want to live it.

I know it's not that easy, It's going to be though, but everyday at home is unbearable.

I've been prescribed some pills to stop my hormones, this makes me so happy,

It's like the best thing that ever happened in my life.

And It will also give me a chance to grow some extra centimeters, because anorexia harmed my growth,

but at the same time that's why I developed anorexia, to prevent that growth from those X things that I don't want in me!

So now I'm just getting taller c: which is good because I am so little my mom always makes fun of me telling me I'm going to be a minimoys man. (I'm so complexed haha)

I wanna start doing some sport, I really want to build up some muscle (specially in the shoulders and I want to get those abs I always dream of...)

I feel better now, I have some really accepting friends around me,

It really makes me feel so much better, free and confident.

I guess things are getting better,

It's still though but having such support and understanding really improved my perception in life:

I'm much more optimistic now :)

Well, I'm going to stop writing 'cause this is going to be really long.

Hope you'll all have a wonderful day, life is not easy but succeeding and making your dreams come true is worth it :) total life changing.

Hi Otto and welcome back! It's always nice to hear when people are getting past the bad things and making things better for themselves.

I love to read good news, and your news is the best I've heard in a while. Congrats on getting the blockers, on getting control of your health, and on your positive attitude. I know how hard it is being patient when you're that young, but you seem to have it under control.

I think life for you is going to be great, young man. I see good things in your future. Please keep in touch, OK?

HUGS

Thank you :) I'm going to update time to time, the people on here helped me so much,

I could never thank all the people that supported, helped and respected me.

I am going to be more active, I think I can contribute and help people, which is something I love to do.

I have been away for long time, I had to deal with those issues, but now that I'm less busy and better,

I think it's my turn to do good actions.

      I think you should discuss it with your doctor.  I know you are 'asking around' but experience probably varies.

      This one is behind a pretty heavy pay-wall, for me $50 US/per year.

      Bipolar got me high and low.

      I had heard the story of Nicks-Buckingham but not the rest.  Olsen was prolific.

      I completely relate to this.  My partner of 5 years has made it clear she won't be going with me if I go down this path. I feel like I wasted her time with my own fear and procrastination.  I visit my elderly parents (my mother has dementia) and my first thought is there's no way I can put them through this. I think the same thing when I see my adult daughters.     Nobody is holding us hostage but us.

      I do get this, really.  However this is part of the reasoning behind the blockers.  Without them there will be "irreversible" changes, only not the ones wanted. No, I don't think this should be done lightly, but I have a problem with forbidding it by law in all cases.
    • Ivy
      Yeah.  I have 6 of them.  I learned a lot.

      I'm kind of torn on this issue. On the one hand, I have met or seen youngsters, and there is very little doubt they are trans. It would seem cruel to deny them care toward this end. On the other hand, there are many others who may dip their toes into the waters while exploring themselves only to realize it isn't who they are. My daughter had a friend like that in high school. First he wanted to date her. Then he thought he was transfeminine for a season then realized that wasn't him.   We go slow on so many other things with kids. We don't let underaged folks drink or vote. We would question someone who locked into a career at age 12-15 (though there ARE some people who do know exactly what they want to do when they grow up very early in life). We would discourage marrying very young, etc.   I'm never crazy about government regulations on things because they tend to screw everything up. So I hate this has become such a political football where neither side listens to the other... But there is wisdom in going slow and allowing things to play out and making sure before such drastic measures as blocking puberty and having surgeries are taken...   Of course, it should be a person-by-person decision, working in concert with family, community and medical professionals, but it seems we never want to do it this way. We always seem to want to throw everyone and everything into a one-size-fits-all dynamic...

      Hey all, been on estrogen monotherapy for about two months. Man, I am just tired all the time. I feel like I have a low-level cold. Hard to get out of bed in the mornings. Even when I get in a good 8-9 hours sleep. Just have the blahs. Leg muscles are sore, like I ran all day...   There are a lot of other potential factors. I drink way too much caffeine (though I have always done that and not always felt this tired). I tend to stay up late on nights when I have to get up early the next morning. Not enough exercise. Have some thyroid issues, though I thought I had those back within normal ranges. Possible low potassium levels.   I realize no one here is a medical pro, per say, just curious if it is in others' experience to feel extreme fatigue for a season when starting HRT. This is one of the reasons I chose not to do spiro, is that I read it could cause lethargy and fatigue and make you pee all the time (I am having those issues too), but I am having a hard time with these effects anyways.   I suspect my T was low before I even started HRT (just by observing how the, err, equipment, hasn't functioned so robustly over the past few years)... Maybe my body isn't sure who is in charge right now in terms of hormones since a new sheriff has arrived but only in minor quantities at this point... thanks again!   EasyE

      I relate to a lot of this ... in my 50s now ... never really questioned my body but have always been fascinated with girl stuff (and loved that I had two daughters because it gave me an excuse to explore the feminine world more)...   I like how you said this: "When I dared to take another peek inside, my egg cracked big time." Yep ... yep ... yep...

      Sorry to hear you lost both your parents young. My dad died from a heart attack when I was 10. My mom died a few years ago. I never came out, truly, to either of them, about my gender identity. On one hand it is freeing, not having to deal with “what would they think or feel about me now” but on the other hand, I wish they had truly known.
    • Ivy
      I think a lot of us did this.
