So emotional this morning

For the last hour my emotions have been running rampit. I am balling my eyes out. Wondering why god has given me such a pathetic life. Why am I being punished. I have a wonderful fantastic family who love me. but I still feel alone. I can be surrounded by family yet still be alone. unloved. For as long as I can remember,The number one thing in my life is my family. I only care about them.  I can careless about myself. I know I shouldn't say that but I do and that is how I feel. Please don't think I am contemplating the big S. No I don't want to put my family through that trauma. I think my depression is falling with no bottom in sight. I cannot help it. I believe I know what I want but think I will never  get there. This coming week would be a perfect time to come out to my whole family. As I will be with them.but being chicken S@#($T,  I'll never do it. 

 

Thanks for listening (reading) Now its off to work. I be back on later. maybe with more pathetic ramblings.

 

Hugs, Kymmie.

Feeling alone in a welcoming and accepting crowd is a real thing for many of us in the Trans spectrum.  Even though we are in those places fear of our inner self isolates us.  As the character Elsa in Disney's FROZEN sings, we need to let it go and stop pretending it is not there, but it is oh so scary to do.  Coming out will not solve it completely because cis people will not understand all of what we go through, but here we do understand us and know your feelings, they are not worthless and pathetic unless all of us ares, and since coming out and being real for as long as I have been, I know we are not that way.  You are just fine, but hell yes, you are Trans.

Kymmie, its all right to be who you are.  Please don't feel bad.  Many of us devote our selves to our family.  This is something to be proud of.  But remember that you must take care of yourself in order to do your best for your loved ones.  It is OK if you want to wait to come out.  You need to do it on your own timeframe.  Take a deep breath and relax.  Enjoy your time with family.  Try to be happy with them.  You can come out later when things are quiet and you are ready.  

 

Hugs, Jani

Thank you, Jani and Vicky so much for those kind words of support. I was able to calm down and breath before the store opened.

It is now better. The emotions are still circling under the surface. I hope they stay under water.

Hello Kymmie:

 

We all go through the emotions and it is tough.  But like how Jani and Vicky has said, be true to yourself and come out when you are ready.  It is good to have family and to spend time with your family but also need to be there for yourself.

 

Much like what Vicky has said, take a page out of Disney Frozen with Elsa.  I love the song.  It helps so much.

This is an interesting song, to say the least.  

 

"Outside the film, Let It Go is also a coming-out anthem for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people: “Conceal don’t feel, don’t let them know/ Well now they know!” The lines “It’s funny how some distance/ Makes everything seem small/ And the fears that once controlled me/ Can’t get to me at all” could almost be from an It Gets Better video. “I was really excited to write an anthem that said, ‘Screw fear and shame, be yourself, be powerful,’” said Anderson-Lopez."

Well I was mostly able to keep my emotions in check for most of the day. Unfortunately They have started to rear their ugly head. Just finished my shower. And they are being kept a bay. However I feel I could break down crying any second. I am putting on a brave face. and plunging forward.

Hang in there, Kymmiel! Remember it's ok to let yourself experience some of those emotions too if you're in a place where you can do that.

 

If not, stay strong and take care of what you need to. Those emotions will be there to acknowledge and process when you're ready

Yes hang in there!!  You'll be fine.  Focus on your family and that you love them.   Heed Julie's advice.

Well here we go again. My day off, Started with not sleeping well. rescheduled my appointment because of my phobia. Did however make my first appointment with my new PCP. A month from today. Hope to start HRT. 

 

The rest of the day been board out of my mind. goofed around on the computer but that got board. watch the first two episodes of Butterfly on Hulu. Not a bad show.  Played some minecraft. Then I get a call from the boss, he asked me to come in a close tonight. I thought why not I'm not doing anything anyway. Might as well make some overtime $$$. Not that it will help. Can't work on anything too flipping cold. Thought about working on my models today. that doesn't even sound interesting.

 

So got ready for work and hour and half early. I just sit here wondering why my life turned out so pathetic. Always thought I would do more. I thought I would at least have my own home by now. Not living the past 19+ years in low income housing.

 

I am wondering if I did something wrong, I put in for the position in Chattanooga on the 2nd. Only thing I heard was from the home office saying it was received. Nothing else, I figured I maybe that the companies manager conference was 10-12th. I haven't even gotten a reply, laughing in my face. Sometimes I wonder why I even bother, since I am just a pathetic loser. Thankfully I still have my family.

 

Sorry to spread that dark storm cloud. But I needed to let my feelings out.

 

Thanks all, you guy have been a tremendous help.

You're not a loser.  Drop that from your mind.  We all go though ups and downs; some longer than others.  You're doing fine, moving in the right direction.

I think we all have times of looking at life more as a chore than as a joy.  I know i have those times.  I've found that it is easier to get through them if i share.  I've also learned that if think of things i'm grateful for rather than my disappointments my mood does improve.  i read one story recently about a woman who does the alphabet thing of things to be grateful for for each letter.   A......animals, alive,  B......butter, bread, bright  etc.  It's harder than it seems but seems to brighten my day.

 

Big Hugs,

 

Charlize

      Something else I noticed @Ladypcnj Since I use the Unread tab, I don't see threads I've read again until someone replies to it, or the author adds something.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
    • Mmindy
      Good morning @Ladypcnj   Some posts get lost in the busy times here. It also maters how people navigate the site. Some only look at their notifications, or tap the All Activity tab which shows them thread they've commented on. (how I see it)... I on the other hand use the Unread tag under Activity. I don't think people ignore post as much as they get caught up reading threads they've already been active in.   Best wishes, stay positive, and motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
    • Ladypcnj
      What to do if post is being ignored?

      LOL.  I have done this more than once.

      Thank you for everything you do, @Petra Jane & great thanks to the generosity of The Breast Form Store! It is a pleasure to contribute & I hope many others will as well. Bless you.

      Oh yeah, I forgot,    @awkward-yet-sweetwhen your husband finally breaks down and decides to replace the stoves I agree a single professional stove even out of a defunct restaurant might well be the way to go when cooking for all those kids and adults. Certainly better that the situation you describe.  Or maybe from a used restaurant supply where they have professionally cleaned and refurbished it.

      Wow, yesterday was a very active day.     @Birdie I hope they figure out where that’s coming from and get you heeled quickly. That it’s nothing serious.  Maybe going to the day care with a purewick will finally convince them to change their attitude.   @MaeBe  especially if you believe you are about to loose your job anyway, what’s to keep you in Minnesota ?  This could be a wonderful thing for all of you Washington State can be wet but it’s really not as bad as it’s made out to be.  If you are west of the cascades it is relatively mild not like MN in the winter time.  And east of the cascades it’s rather desert like around Yakima.     New car shopping can be fun but it can be very stressful too.  We talked about it over lunch yesterday. Strange thing is she kept coming back to the old Ford.  My response was instead of two car payments there woul only be one although I would expect it to be a little higher, but not nearly what two would add up .  Plus I wouldn’t have to continue working as long with only one as when I get the other things paid off I know we can live without me working.  Unless of course, the congress decides to mess with social security.  Right now I have three vehicles I want to look at two are at one dealer and the third at another.  All three are GMs two are newer with lower mileage but are also lower end on the GM line.  The third which is the one that most interests me is a Cadillac.  Let’s see there is a song from way back about a Cadillac and a Hot Rod Lincoln comes to mind.  Anyway it is an XT-5. I get my room and comfort, she gets her nice appointments and the ford hopefully will hang on as a spare for those occasions when we need a second car for me to go to work and for her to do ??  The downside is it has just under 80,000 miles and is a 2020 so in that regard we are slipping backwards from a 2022 with 25000  but going from a sub-compact to a mid-size.  The other two are a compact and a Midsize but neither would provide the expected comfort and features of the Cadillac.  The biggest of which are the pedals that would adjust and the seat adjustments. (My wife is 4’ 10” and I am 5’8” since my spine has shrunk.  The Caddy also has the lane safety as well as front and rear collision warning.  The mileage will go down and the engine requires higher octane gas but that won’t be too much of a drag since we can go to Murphy USA where I work or to Costco which isn’t that far away. 10 miles.  And it’s better than the Ford!   I guess we will see how this plays out later.   Willow

      Two things amaze me, One how fast short haired dogs dry. Two how did you keep from loosing your glasses? I'm glad you wear a life jacket while kayaking even on smooth waters such as ponds or lakes. I'm guessing you learned a few things about landing and exiting the kayak.    Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Aside from the X-Files, Gilmore Girls is easily my favorite TV show. I originally watched the original airing in the commuter lounge at my college starting in 2000 because I was embarrassed to watch it at home when I living as a man. Now that I am out and transitioned, I watch it openly and wear Gilmore Girls t-shirts at work on days that I wear a skirt. For Valentine’s Day, my wife bought me the DVD’s. Yesterday I had to stay at work late because of an IT problem (I am not IT so I just had to make sure the pump stations telemetry was functioning properly before I could leave, IT did the actual work) and so I watched it on Netflix. Lorelai Gilmore inspired me to change my name to Lorelei. Yes, I picked a more traditional spelling on the name. The mother daughter interaction between them is heartwarming and sometimes hilarious. Last week I just started rewatching it again. Ironically I relate most to Luke, very rare as I almost always relate to a female character. Anyone else here love the show?

      Good morning everyone,   @Birdie continued prayers for you as they figure thing out. I'm glad you're being properly cared for.   @April Marie I love the pageantry of the Kentucky Derby the bright dresses, and fascinating hats worn by the ladies. As for the mint juleps... I'll pass, they're just to aromatic for me.  We'll be watching "The Fastest Two Minutes in Sports" as well.   @Adrianna Danielle & @awkward-yet-sweet it is amazing how a new stove seems to cook food better. Cooking for 36 people is a phenomenal task, and if you're doing it on anything less than a professional cook stove. You're preforming miracles, and I wish you the best.   My yard work is done for the day, because I don't have to wait until Saturday to do it. I'm getting use to this mostly retired situation. The windows and doors have been open since I first got up and the yard is full of bird songs. I have the best neighbors because they don't start their noisy yard work until very late morning or early afternoon.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I took an involuntary swim wearing my quick dry hiking pants and shirt. Lifejacket not shown but present on the rock I am sitting on. Watson is dry now but I am still soaked. I capsized my kayak 5 feet from the shore trying to land on an island. Water in the pond was surprisingly warm considering it is early may in upstate New York.
