Bad Week :/


EVAN_DESU

Recommended Posts

The past couple days I don't know what's been going on...

It first started with feeling really depressed....

Keeping all my gender problems/issues to myself

& having no one to talk to (face to face) about them....

Then I kept on almost outting myself when talking with my mom...

We were talking about babies and she was like "Childbirth is so beautiful, when you go through it, you'll see."

Then she kept on talking about women issues and stuff.

Without really thinking, I almost said "Boys don't have babies."

Then when we were watching a show on tv called transvestite wives, I said "Oh, when I was searching up stuff on..." then I just stopped because I realized what I was going to say... which was "Oh, when I was searching for stuff on tv about trans related things, I came across this."

Then when I had to go to the bathroom, I got up, but she was in my way and I almost said "Make way for the prince."

I kept on having other incidents like this the past few days....

On top of that last night I kept on having nightmares(about 4 or 5)

And all I think about is that I don't have a male body, so I'm basically upset now 24/7.

It's been a week of crappyness.

I am so sorry for your bad week, I've had a few years like that!

You just knew that someone would come along to tell you that they had it worse so I thought I'd get that out of the way for you.

Seriously, we all have those times and I am going through the post coming out but my mother is still in denial and trying to convince me that I am not phase.

It is something that you have to decide when to come out and do it - you have reached the point where you really want her to know and that is what's bugging you.

You have to decide when and how but untill then remember that it is the underlying problem and you can better deal with it.

Love ya,

Sally

We all have our own time to come out and be the real us. You will know when the time is right for you. I do hope you have the strength to overcome your nightmares, since they can be worse than reality.

When you do come out to your mom you might want to just sit her down, just the two of you and tell her Mom I really need to discuss something that is going on with me to you. I need your understanding and help here. This way she will know your serious and value her input. Don't get into a yelling match over it will make it worse and harder for her to understand then. If you have been surfing the internet and have been reading up on some of the resources use them when talking to your mom, show her you do know what your talking about, its better than going in empty handed as they say.

Hope this helps.

Peace and Love Dan

Hey, man. It's hard to keep big stuff like this under wraps. It's stressful because we want to tell someone, but we also kinda don't. It wears on you. I've definitely been where you are before. You'll come through it. Hang in there! We're all here for you if you need to vent.

Keep on researching things and figuring stuff out for yourself. All that work will be of great help when you start talking to your family.

When you feel strong and ready, you'll take the next step forward. Everyone goes at their own pace in this journey.

My Dearest Misaki,

Child, just go ahead vent, cry, scream out loud to us. That is why we are here. Do not despair my dear, when it is right time to come out to your mother... you will know. I suspect that that day is near.

Feel free to PM me if you need to.

I am here darling

Love

I can definitely relate. I've had weeks like that too. It sucks. My mom will talk about me having kids, or womens issues, and i just kind of want to run out of the room screaming <_< .

But things always get better. Promise.

      A year and a half post op. I've noticed that once the urge to pee hits, I can only hold it for about 15 minutes or so until it gets to the point where I feel like I'm going to piss myself. I used to be able to hold it a lot longer (as I  remember it).  I know my urethra is a bit shorter now, but I don't think it is enough to account for this. Am I imagining it?

      What a great moment @Vidanjali! It's always so cool knowing people are reading you in a way you want to be seen.

      It's also networking.  Sometimes jobs come along because someone knows someone else - these older people might know someone.  "Hey, Ashley," someone might say,"My nephew is looking for love. He likes tall women. Whatcha think? Can he call you?"   Don't discount their ability to match make.  It is about networking.

      He is simply doing to get more votes. He held a Trump for trans during his first run and found out the majority of his voters were against us so he simply followed the crowd.

      The sad part is I'm the third oldest member. One is in their 60's and the other is past 70's. I'm even older than the president lol. It's a younger crowd that's for sure. I like to come here to feel young again lol.

      Ashley, I think searching for relationships are a lot like searching for jobs, they tend to come along when you aren't actually looking.  Perhaps you could step back from actively searching, at least for a little while, and instead, concentrate on just being out and about as yourself.  Like Mae and Abby have already mentioned, just keep up your volunteering, but don't focus on a need to find someone.  Maybe, just maybe, changing your tactics will result in someone finding you.    I do wish only the best for you, and I hope someone comes along who connects with you.

      First off, you can't regret being honest. You may not be changing the relationship, but it sounds like it still exists!   As for meeting people, what about through the volunteering you're doing? Maybe you can do more of that and meet people. Let some relationships grow and if they blossom into something more than friendship, great! If not, you've got more friends!

      Hi Giz, welcome. There's so many different ways to be trans and you're so welcome here. I wish you luck in achieving your goal of being more androgynous. There's forums in here that might suit you and your goals. I look forward to hearing more from you. I go by he/they pronouns at the mo.

      Hello @JenniferB!  Was kind of in the same boat with this.  I spent massive amounts of energy over several decades to try to control my drinking and drug use.  Because I'm highly disciplined, I was ultimately successful.  I felt I could have gone on with controlled drinking for the rest of my life without problems, but it got to the point where I realized that it wasn't worth all the energy I was putting into it.  At that point I found surrender.  I got a sponsor, attended almost daily meetings for a year, worked the steps to the best of my ability, tried my best to socialize with people even though I am an introvert, I made a mess for myself at the meetings and felt a little rejected.  And then I continued on doing a little service work.   After a few months away from it, I'm in a good spot.  I accidentally ate one of my roommates edibles a couple months ago.  I have only smoked a half ounce of weed in the last 20 years.  After it kicked in, I realized that it was a marijuana high.  Then I noticed something miraculous.  I just told myself that there is nothing I can do about it and then got on with the business of the evening like I normally would.  It was like the high just ended right then and there.   Controlled drinking like I was doing was just very risky behavior and not worth the effort for me.  In any case, I'm very happy that I spent my life fighting it all instead of just giving into it.  I think that whatever you put into something, you eventually get back out.   Meetings are cool.  People generally get equal time to share.  Seeing people who are struggling reminds me of the way I was and why I want to remain sober.  And by being there, I have the potential of helping someone else.  The stuff I don't identify with I just do my best to not let bother me.  And if it gets bad there, I don't have to go back.  I can find another meeting or even just read the literature.  The literature helped me a lot.

      Happiness to me is when I reached a turning point in my life, that I stop worrying what others think about me, and start living my life.

      Very, very true.  The number of murders committed by strangers in 2022 was only about 10 percent, per the FBI.   Carolyn Marie
