Hello I am new here and i don't know what I'm really doing or what im looking for. I have been through a lot these last 2 years and this month has just been really bad for me. The things I am dealing with are suicide attempts, cutting, religion, crossdressing, and questioning my gender. I live in a small town so to find someone who I can relate to or get advice from to fit all those things I'm struggling with is not really easy. I would be interested in weekly support groups of I can find the right ones to join. If anyone can help me with those things I would be greatful!

Welcome Danielle. You will quickly learn that you are not alone. That fact was enough to help me. Sharing about your struggles and learning about the struggles of others makes the journey you chose easier to accept.

Enjoy,

Hugs,

What I am dealing with at this moment is the contradiction between my faith and views of God and my feelings of wanting to transition as I have said before that I live in a small town so not many people are open to the idea of it. I have convinced a few people of what I have studied but a few show me things to disprove me. It has gotten so bad that suicide has been an option for me. At 1st I didn't want to do that so I started cutting. so I don't know what to do this is really hard!!

Hi Danielle, I'm fairly new to Laura's and just happened to see your post as I was looking around. You poor girl! I feel so sorry for you!

I live in a small town in Arizona too. Luckily for me I have some very open minded and loving friends who have helped me feel not so isolated as I transition.

Also I have already lived through a lot, being a couple of decades older than you... ;) Perspective helps.

I am a person of deep faith but my faith is not constrained by the boundaries set by well-meaning but misguided MEN.

Don't be fooled by other people trying to set the boundaries of what is possible. You were made to be what you are. Embrace it. You are not evil, or bad, or wicked for being true to what you are!

I hope you are hanging in there! Please respond!

      Gosh, missed Monday again.   Did you know that Producer Keith Oslen was distraught because the duo his recorded Buckingham-Nicks first album went nowhere? In walked Mick Fleetwood also distraught because once again Flleetwood Mac lost a guitarist in Bob Welsh and he was at least going studio shopping and came to Sound City in LA because he'd heard the drum sound they got there was incredible. He asked Oslen to play something recorded there. Olsen played some of Buckingham-Nicks and Fleetwood loved the sound of the guitarist and wanted Buckingham. Olsen said he comes with Nicks because Olsen managed both. Fleetwood didn't want Nicks but eventually the remaining Mac members said okay and next thing you know - the Fleetwood Mac that scored a huge following was born. Sadly right after the "Fleetwood Mac" album and before "rumours" was recorded, the band got huge headed and got rid of Oslen so they didn't have to play him a lot of music they wanted to keep. Olsen did ok after by recording Ozzy Osbourne, the Grateful Dead, Whitesnake, Pat Benatar, Heart, Santana, Saga, Foreigner, Scorpions, Journey, The Babys, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Joe Walsh, 38 Special, and Eric Burdon & the Animals, among others. BTW - Olsen was also a members in 1967 of a band called Music Machine (not the James Taylor one) that scored a huge hit with the song "Talk Talk"

      Still on contentment high from Sunday.
    • Heather Shay
      CONTENTMENT The relentless pursuit of happiness often overshadows the more subtle yet profound emotional state of contentment. While happiness may be a fleeting high, contentment is the gentle hum of satisfaction that resonates through the soul, offering a sustainable path to life satisfaction. Oscar Wilde's poignant observation encapsulates this truth: "True contentment is not having everything, but in being satisfied with everything you have."

      He has also vowed to NOT ACCEPT the election results even if they  clearly show he lost.

      I've been looking forward to the legitimate medical groups coming out strongly against Cass' biased and one sided report, so I'm really glad to see the article you posted, @Davie.  Unfortunately, it won't get nearly the coverage that Cass has gotten.  She has done her dirty work.  Hopefully the pushback and investigative reports on her and her support network will result in her work being shown for what it is.  She is a fraud, and sooner or later all frauds are found out.   Carolyn Marie

      CONGRATULATIONS, Jessica!!  That's really BIG! I myself did not experience a huge emotional roller coaster.  It was more like a smooth slide into emotional comfort.  The biggest effect I felt is when my Dr put me on T-blockers first.  I felt a bit 'empty' for a couple of months, but then realized it was just because the 'T-monster' was no longer running around inside of me.  Then I felt it was my new 'normal'. I feel like the estradiol was the 'frosting' on my transition affirmation.  It's been only positives.  I do cry a lot more, but it's only because I finally feel free to allow my emotions to come out.  To me it's not 'hormonal' ... it's FREEDOM!   Everybody is different but it sounds like you are under great care.  I hope you have a beautiful first year in transition on HRT (keep us updated if you can).

      Yeah, whatever happened to “good morning”?  I think “hey you” can also work to address people without offense…”you” can be single or plural so that works for any gender, non binary, or any group of people, and can be pleasantly offensive or neutral.   And I am very familiar with the experience of being “ma’amed” while in boy mode, particularly on the phone by customer support people located outside north America for some reason.

      I'm hoping this election cycle might finally cause 'that' party to pay a price for such nonsense.
