hi folks, i am bridget. i'm a woman, and have been for a long, long time.
a short while ago i was ready to fall apart, torn by dysmorphia but keeping it tucked away inside by major depression, anxiety disorder and panic attacks. i've gone to therapy and on medication for all of these symptoms but now i am left with no way to avoid the mismatch between my internal self and my outside one.
So here i am, reading and trying to learn. thank you all so much for this community.

Welcome little one , anyone who is truly Transgender knows from a very young age , doctors assign you a physical sex but they don't assign the way your brain develops the first couple of months when being gestated in your mother , it's no ones fault - yours or the mother , everybody starts out with the default gender ( female ) anyways whether the egg is fertilized with a male swimmer or female swimmer - the brain runs the body and knows that a Windows 10 programming doesn't work with an Apple mechanical platform , there different - relax - be cool - all is good - 1/2 the world population is female 3.6 billion approximately - so what if there's one more - be your true self - XO - from the old Trans - Krystal

Hi hun, welcome to this little corner of the world.
A lot of what you just said sounds pretty damn similar to myself. Ive been there, done that. I too was at a breaking point in my life and something had to give. Then i found this place and it has confirmed a lot of things about myself that id been questioning for as long as i can remember.
If ever you wanna talk just message me hun, ok?
*pink hugs* Amelia

so there's gonna be things 🙂
hi hun take care and look after yourself.xx roslym
I have been semi-out for thirty years, married for almost thirty, as well. My wife knows and has known since the beginning, and I think a lot of us 'bargain' with ourselves or try to sell an internal narrative that transition won't solve our problems or worse, make them even more pronounced, etc. It takes so much energy to deny who we are, and at some point, our mental health begins to suffer for it. I have come to the conclusion there is no easy 'path' for us. Both are difficult, but as I have learned from so many of my friends who have transitioned, it is better to feel whole and authentic than to live a life in prison where happiness is just not possible. Thanks for sharing your journey. We are here for each other.
