Hi Jodi,

Please don’t turn to self-harm. We are here for you. Remember that there are help-lines you can reach out to for support, also. You have value just for being who you are, Jodi.

I used to have fleeting thoughts of just driving my car off a bridge or into a barrier to stop the hurt I felt and that I felt I was causing others. But then I’d think about how devastated the people close to me would be and realised it wasn’t the answer.

Even if they aren’t supportive right now your family do love you and want the best for you. They just don’t understand what you are dealing with yet. Do you have an opportunity to seek out a therapist who can give you support? I was able to get the extra support from mine to come out fully to my wife and daughter, and begin my own transition journey.

We have such a wonderful site here – don’t be afraid to reach out to any of us when you are feeling down.

Hugs,

Brie

I’m so sorry you are dealing with all this and feel so alone. I knew better than to try to tell my family how much I was struggling – so I know some of what you are facing. As Jennifer said, you will get through this if you just don’t give up! There are 1000s of friends here who do support you and care for you just the way you are.

Warm hugs,

Brie

First and foremost, I’ve done the suicide thing. It doesn’t work, so forget about it.

I told people for decades that I was a Lesbian trapped in a man’s body. They always laughed it off, thinking it was just saying I was a man.. Who’s laughing now? hehe.

It’s a difficult step to take and quite scary. But it’s worth it. Life is a journey. Sometimes we just have to take the road that scares the hell out of us to find our path. I started my journey 2 years ago and just started HRT in March. Yes, even at 56 it scares me, but at the same time I have found it liberating.

Be yourself and damn the person that tries to stop you.
