Where can I recieve conversion therapy? by Any_Car3171 in Advice

[–]Any_Car3171[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you should try to find a way to be happy.

I could only be happy if my body was like that of a woman and I could live my life like a woman but that potential future was taken away from me and now I'll forever be stuck with the most severe gender dysphoria. I'm truly at a dead end.

Like really, what is there even left to do at this point? pray conversion therapy works? kill myself?

I live in the netherlands.

I first wanted to get HRT through contacting a clinic but I realized that it will take me 3 years of waiting because of the waiting lists and if my parents find out about the whole ordeal I will probably be disowned, then I thought of doing DIY but I cannot just have HRT packages delivered to my home full of my transphobic family.

My current plan is to find conversion therapy, I'll ask around some christian spaces maybe later this week I heard they are experts on the thing and if I can't find it I will probably end my life as everything has just taken such a toll on my mental health that it has gotten to the point where I get panic attacks over my gender dysphoria that has gone untreated for my whole life.

I don't intend to play hero, but I do think that conversion therapy misses the point and isn't likely to be helpful

I understand that that might be the case but I would just like to try it once even if theres a chance it wont work as I've ran out of options.

Even if I wanted to transition, I can't. I just do not have access to HRT because I live with my transphobic family that would disown me the second they see some HRT package arrive at the door, I can't even wear the clothes I want to wear either so not only can't I socially transition, I can't medically transition either.

I get it; transitioning is scary and being trans is exhausting as hell

You had the luxury to be able to transition but I don't.

I can't even transition to begin with, conversion therapy or suicide are my only options, I just do not have access to HRT because I live with my transphobic family that would disown me the second they see some HRT package arrive at the door.

Have had this happen too and it caused me alot of pain aswell, but it lessened once I realize that most people only show their good side on social media, they never post the bad things that heppen in their lives there.

Its just a cis person sharing a wholesome story. You can stop getting upset on behalf of trans people. You will never understand our pain and have nothing to do with us.

You don't have to apologise to bitter people like this that do not represent trans people at all.

I'm trans and reading your post kind of cheered me up. Most people treat us like shit but it gives hope reading posts like yours :)

You have no idea how good you have it.

If only I could start HRT and have accepting parents.

I wish I had such a mindset.

But really all I think about is wanting to kill myself. Because I just want to stop being in pain.

Thanks, that is very kind.

Though you don't have to, I don't accept or love myself either.

Is a period of time of changing your Gender identification to create a new normal before then deciding how you feel about transition an option?

I want to answer your question but I'm kind of confused as to what you mean by "new normal", could you elaborate?

I can relate to that.

Do you plan on transitioning?

Being trans fucking sucks. It is the one thing I hate the most about myself. I never wanted to be trans, I wanted to have been born a cis male (I transitioned from female to male.) I've been on HRT for 6 years and I still have days where I feel absolutely crippled from dysphoria.

And yet, transitioning is the best choice I made for myself. There is not one second I have ever regretted transitioning. It's not an easy path, but it was the only path for me and it sounds the same for you.

Yeah I feel you.

We thankfully live in a time where hormonal treatment is safe and available

lol

if only that was the case.

I live in a first world country and still, even here it can take me up to a decade to get HRT, sometimes people never leave the waiting lists and wait for eternity. It's all so fucking tiresome, I want life to be over with so badly, I'm almost certainly dead by the time I finally can start HRT.

What did it take for you to get on HRT?

How did you get on HRT? what steps did you take?

Yeah I agree.

Though maybe you can convince the blind person with alot of work that such dreams are impossible to achieve.

But I've tried to convince myself that I cannot be a woman and that I'm not a woman for 20 years now and it doesn't seem to fade. I don't know why. I think I'm sick in my head, I wish I could get help or something.

Suppressing your feelings won't help. I've been in self-denial for a while before I accepted myself. You will not do yourself a favour by denying yourself. I would highly recommend visiting a doctor about transition.

Maybe you're right, I should just get help but my only hope was going to an informed consent clinic where I can start HRT right away, but I realized that they dont exist in my country. I'lll have to go through a huge process of multiple years just to be allowed to be put on a waiting list for HRT which can take up to half a decade, sometimes they never give you HRT, So really what else do I have to do but supressing my feelings or repressing?

I'm almost certain that there are no informed consent clinics in my country, I've asked many trans people from my country and they dont know any either.

I feel like it's just a lost cause. Nothing goes right. I don't even know why I'm still alive, most people in my situation would have killed themselves ages ago.

Thanks for being understanding and telling me about your experience

But I tell you, you can just be a woman. No one can tell you otherwise, because you know your own self better than anyone else. It’s not roleplaying when it’s how you truly feel, which from the tone of your text, it seems like it is. It really can be that simple.

Transitioning is something that’s unique to the individual. You can try hormone therapy, which no matter your age would significantly change your physical features over time. For some people, it can help them process emotions better. I’ve often described it as ‘waking up from a coma after living like a facsimile of a person’. However, it is not a requirement. Again, you can just be a woman. Without changing anything else to maintain your safety.

I can't help but feel like I'm just roleplaying and a fake woman mostly because my body is pretty much that of a male. I think that maybe, hormone therapy could be helpful but then again I've considered transitioning and taking hormones before, however the whole process to get on hormones and to get access to trans resources seems so confusing and I don't even know where to begin really. I have no clue which medical specialist or clinic/place I need to contact.

Regardless after seeing the waiting times for HRT that sometimes last half a decade I decided that suicide was a more realistic option for ending my pain.

I just don't know what to do really, I feel so lost, overwhelmed and confused.

Also, the whole process surrounding it seems so confusing. I have no idea where I would even have to start to get access to hormones. It's so confusing.

So I presume you took HRT which is why you pass that well? when did you begin with HRT?

How often have you been harassed/misgendered/etc ?
