Remember. You’re already there, our natural state is one of security and calm, it’s just the other mental stuff that gets in the way. We’re all going to come out of this so much stronger and better than we ever were!

Hey girls, I’m a guy suffering with this too...but you know what I keep reminding myself, it HAS to be for a reason. I don’t mean transition, I mean when we come out of this on the other side we will be so sure of ourselves

It’s okay to be lost for awhile. I know it’s scary and the longer it goes on the scarier it can feel, but sometimes people just need to wander for a bit to rediscover who they really are. You may not feel a connection to some of the old stuff you used to like. That’s okay. You can still play with make up. You can still learn new techniques and skills. If it doesn’t feel as fun as it used to, so what. It will again someday when this is all over. Keep doing it and let it feel however it feels.

Omg I couldnt have said it better. I feel sooo exactly the same like i just wanted to be a succesful Woman and find myself a man and have his children. Now my life has just drowned. Its like all the potential in me is gone and im not getting the most out of life and im missing everything because i feel like this. I cant help but be jalouse of pretty girls who are doing good because i want to be like them, i wouldve been like them but my mental health is ruining that person. Why do i have to go trough this... i alwyas had my passions in life, i liked fashion and makeup and even that my mental health took from me. Suddenly i dont feel the joy of it snymore and all my future dreams make me feel numb instead of passionate and joyful...

I know exactly. Its like i have a whole identity crisis while i always used to know who i was. I had a strong personality and i was actually exciting to live my life. Now its all just emptyness and im anxious 24/7 i miss the old me so much. I truly loved life. I miss me who could just watch yt tutorials endlessy and dream one day i would be as fashionable as them. Now it doesnt make me happy snymroe. And people say that you change so its okay that i will find new interests but its like no! That actually is me and im not changing its just that my mentall health is turning against me and its killing my identity. I always couldnt wait to be older to get a boyfriend and wear heels and all thst but now Im at an age where i actually am allowed to do all that but now i cant. My mental Health is blocking that and it makes me so mad. At this age i should be happy, partying doing my makeup. But now all of thst doesnt make me feel like i used to. I miss those feelings so much. My dreams got ruined before i could even live them. Not once did i get to go to a party when i still was okay. But suddenly boys hit me up and people invite me and then i feel like this? Its so unfair. I wish i could feel alive again. Even music i cant enjoy anymore

This also made me feel soo inpure and not the innocent girl i used to be. I never had a boyfriend and i couldnr wait to give him my all and he had to be worth it. But now i feel like all my innocense is gone. Like my mind is just poisoned with the disgusting thoughts.

This is so extremely difficult, i’ve never experienced having thoughts of being a different gender. i’ve always been comfortable being a girl. i’ve always been a girly girl. this all started a couple months ago and it’s increasingly getting worse. i’ve had times where i didn’t like my body but i always thought i could just go to the gym and fix it, never did i think i wanted to be a man. ever since these thoughts started i hate looking at myself in the mirror, i hate looking at my body, i’m aware of my breasts all day everyday, i can’t look at pictures/ videos of myself. from the moment i wake up to the second i go to sleep i have these thoughts. i’m in a panic EVERYDAY. i don’t want to be trans but my thoughts are convincing me i do. i’ve never bat an eye when someone calls me a girl but now it’s like i’m aware of it which i hate. i hate that i’m having these thoughts & it’s convincing me that i want them & that i have to just come out and change. i want to be able to go back to being comfortable as a girl. this has left me feeling so hopeless and depressed, i can’t help but cry every day. has anyone else felt like their whole world was turned upside down?

I want to get thought this weird horrible period, it has been horrible. I am doubting everything. I’m not diagnosed but when I look at my past I’ve always been horribly anxious and worrying about health, death and basically everything while suffering from major a lot of insecurities stemming from bullying and lately a lack of intimacy with my partner, Every time I think I’m on the way out, or see some light at the end of the tunnel my mind always pulls me back in. It’s torture. I’ve always been insecure about how I look and I find myself comparing myself at other males and it’s made my self esteem on the floor. I have a girlfriend and prior to this we had a future planned and talked about kids (we’re still young, but it felt so real), this all began to bubble when we stopped being intimate and the loss of my job. I don’t know anymore how to move on, every day feels like a chore. The intrusive thoughts telling me I’m in denial, constantly thinking about men I’ve felt insecure about their looks compared to mine wishing I looked like them plaguing my mind. The false attractions, prior to this i was comfortable in acknowledging good looking men. However now my mind takes this as evidence, every single thing in my past seems like some form of evidence. Not having male friends, the comparisons, being questioned about my sexuality from siblings. I’m sorry if this is reassurance, I am just needing to get some things of my chest. Every time I think about my first real attraction or girls I found pretty/attractive or I liked my mind is like your in denial and then I feel horrible about thinking those thoughts as I have my girlfriend. I miss just being with my girlfriend and not having these thoughts and feeling horrible. I feel like a fraud and a horrible partner. I’ve tried to accept maybe, maybe not, but something always comes back. These 4 months have been terrible. I want to sleep without horrible dreams, I want to eat. I want to feel like myself again. Thank you to anyone who reads this. Hope you’re strong too.
