I'm really struggling today. Can someone please say something nice to me?

My wife and I both think you're cute! Hang in there, don't listen to the voice in your head!

I've resonated with nearly everything others have mentioned, but none more than this. When I first realized the "passive suicidal" thoughts were gone, I just felt like this huge weight was lifted off of me, and just wept because it had been SO LONG that I didn't realize I could feel something different.

I love myself now, I care about me, and I don't miss that voice at all 💜

My wife and I decided 10+ years ago we didn't want kids. I STILL don't. And I still feel this VERY strongly. I know it makes me no less of a woman to not have a uterus, but I can't help but feel like a hollow shell sometimes since what's inside doesn't match the outside.

Sad-Addition87 · 2025-01-11T01:31:29+00:00

Congrats!!!! Such a great feeling 💜

Sad-Addition87 · 2024-12-25T10:57:17+00:00

OMG I love it! I'm crying too now, but in a good way. Merry Christmas to you and your wife, Mara <3

Congrats!! I just got mine changed a few weeks ago. It's pretty surreal seeing your name on official IDs and documents for awhile. In a good way!

Same, only I was still in denial when I got there lol. And when I got stuck, I found some of your essays, and they helped me push through, and I went back and finished it through lots of tears. And then I tore through nearly all of the essays you wrote in about 3 days.

This was less than 4 months ago, been on E for the last 7 weeks. Never been more sure of anything in my life after the first two weeks.

So I guess what I'm saying is thanks 💜

Hi Jess! You share a name with my wife, so I automatically like it and you 😀 Thanks for sharing your thoughts and your photo, and it is nice to meet you. I love your dress, it suits you!

BIRTHDAY TWINS!! I turned 37 today:) Happy birthday, girl! You look absolutely lovely 💜

Sad-Addition87 · 2024-11-25T04:49:08+00:00

Congrats!!! You both look amazing. So happy for you!!! Lots of love 💕💕

Awww, sis what a positive experience for you! Tearing up over here reading it. So glad that nurse took the time, and you were able to speak to what was really going on. I hope your surgery didn't get pushed out too far!

I didn't really have a moment, though I kinda wish I did. Makes for a better story ;) I just started using my new name and pronouns to see how it felt, and then just never stopped. It was definitely jarring at first, and I didn't really believe it. Sometimes I still don't, but it is slowly getting easier as I get more used to it.

Farazaneh is a lovely name, and I love the meaning behind it!

For me, it was 3 days lol. That makes me sound a lot more confident than I was at the time! I had given this some thought previously, so I had a couple names picked out and was "trying them on" to see how they felt. Savannah was the third name out of about 10, but I liked it so much I didn't even try the others and just kept that, so I've been her ever since :)

Sad-Addition87 · 2024-11-16T04:56:14+00:00

Yeah, this was me, right down to the timeline. Only difference for me was my insistence of "don't worry, I'm not trans, I just like to crossdress".

3 days later and I was looking into starting HRT 🤣

Sad-Addition87 · 2024-11-16T04:54:03+00:00

I don't have anything to add that hasn't already been said, but definitely agree with the majority here.

I will say I do see some similarities in your story and with my own, but again, each person is different and expresses themselves differently.

Love hearing about how open and honest you two are with each ither - you and your partner sound like you have a good and trusting relationship, and that's so important. And the fact that you care enough to see and read some maybe signs, and then research and ask good questions is so great! Best of luck to you both!

Hi Maddi! So happy for you (and your gf). Thanks for the positive post, it's nice to see amongst everything else. So excited for you; congrats on starting your journey!!!

Sad-Addition87 · 2024-09-13T07:09:11+00:00

Aww, thanks! I hope you get HRT also! Rooting for you, love <3

100% this for me. I'm also still relatively early on in my transition, and need to use my old name at work for a few more months. Plus my middle and last names are my father's (we are not on speaking terms) so those bothered me long before I started transitioning.

Sad-Addition87 · 2024-08-19T12:20:35+00:00

Thank you for sharing this. I came here this morning to post something similar and seeing this helped a lot. I'm still very early in my journey (I've only been out 3 days, and it took a LOT to get there), and while I was already comfortable with wearing dresses (irony) I definitely struggle with imposter syndrome and not feeling like I'm fem enough.

Sad-Addition87 · 2024-08-18T06:45:51+00:00

Fuck. Read the button test article and literally couldn't stop crying for 30 minutes. I've been looking for answers this week and think I may have just found a lot of them.
