  • I do have major depression. Meds didn’t do anything for me (tried 12~), tried a few intervention treatments as well without much luck. ECT (Electro Convulsive Therapy) helped I feel like but I couldn’t get another round of it. If meds had done anything for me before I’d probably give them another go. I probably “should” give them another try but its a lot of effort and conversations and idrk if I’ll see a benefit. I see a therapist but he’s not really helpful. Wish I saw someone else, after the move I would definitely like to. But I want to see an lgbt therapist and idk how to get that to work with my parents/their insurance.












  • Nothing really works to alleviate my pain. I feel disconnected from everyone. This problem has only continued to get worse.

    My actual life outside being trans is going terrible. No degree, no cert worth anything, still not enrolled. Can’t even drive. No real friends my age. A smattering of trusted adults. There are weekly things that haven’t been done in months. Daily things that get done a couple times a week. Room is a disaster. No motivation to do anything. I’m barely able to keep up with my limited work schedule. No real hope of being able to leave my transphobic parent’s house. No real hope of having a good job. Of a partner. Of being happy, or content, or anything of the sort.

    My life is just misery. Has been.

    I think my nervous system has just been fried at this point. What years upon years of suffering does to a person I guess. No fucking shit my brain can’t work right anymore.

    Do you know where all of this started? Where my life, my body, even my brain started to collapse in on nothing but suffering?







  • voice dysphoria

    Voice dysphoria and the hopelessness that surrounds it has been pretty bad for me all day so I decided to search through old posts and see what people have said to me about it over the last two years. Surprised I couldn’t find more results tbh. Anyway like a year and a half ago someone said

    Feeling sad and bitter about your voice is normal, you “just” have gender dysphoria. You’ll be okay, I swear this gets better. It’s slow, yeah, but the time is going to pass anyway and how do you want to sound in 2 years right?

    and unfortunately I haven’t changed my voice even a tiny bit. Think I’m more bitter then I was back then. I feel like back then I had more hope of training “eventually” as well.

    Honestly the longer this goes on for the less hope I have in ever being able to train. Its so dysphoric. Not improving. I don’t think I realistically can force myself through it. :/

    before you suggest it, no I won’t be happy with an untrained voice either.
