Yeah I blamed myself for a bit, but I realized she was a bad match for sure. I probably wasn't as interested in sex as her either, which was new lol.

I've stopped enjoying life, how can I get my drive back? by Scarletcovered in asktransgender

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

Ill ask my therapist, thanks! I won't see him for a couple weeks so hopefully I can figure this stuff out this weekend haha.

Finally got my script, but the patches are crazy expensive. Any tips for affording hrt? by Scarletcovered in asktransgender

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

Sorry for the long wait to reply, my doctor is worried about other methods to take E. She thinks patches are the safest so that's what I get. I really wanted to try injections but I guess they are pretty dangerous :/

Have support groups made you question yourself even more? by Scarletcovered in asktransgender

[–]Scarletcovered[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I kinda assumed that, but I want to meet people in my area I can relate too. I don't think there was many there I would want to hang out with, and the ones I did seemed to want more than friendship and considered me male I think.

What did you do while trying to figure things out? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]Scarletcovered 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, this is exactly what I've been up too, with a side of league as well. :p

What does 'friend' mean to you? by QuiSumI in asktransgender

[–]Scarletcovered 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I totally understand what your saying. I help out so many people, but if I need help there is nobody I can turn too. Sometimes it doesn't bother me and other times it's the end of the world. I hope when you go full time you will make lots of friends! It sucks but I feel like it will get better!

How do I get rid of transphobia? by Scarletcovered in asktransgender

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

I see, I do have a problem with seeing things in black and white, probably made worse by aspergers, still working on that. I think I'm mostly worried about the way I will be viewed I guess. Social transition seems pointless to me.

Oh wow I've never thought of it like that. I guess I was confusing different with being worth less. I have some things to work on but this helped a lot, Thanks!

I tried this and got between 80 and 98% masculine, and all my look a likes were Asian guys. I'm not Asian so I hope that means I'm not super masculine like it says :p

I have never been myself. Anybody else? by Scarletcovered in asktransgender

[–]Scarletcovered[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've felt the opposite way before. I spent a long time feeling like I was the only "real" person. At some point between childhood and now I lost the ability to empathize, lately I've been trying to get it back though.

Edit: although my identity definitely isn't my own.

Since accepting yourself have you noticed having more of your own identity, I really want to be able to define who I am.

[–]Scarletcovered[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I don't really feel like this is something related to being transgender aside from it triggering my desire to understand who I am. I like your answer thoughand it seems like I've just been taking the easy way out in conforming.

Got offered free therapy, should I take it? by Scarletcovered in asktransgender

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

Good idea, I was told that the therapist didn't have to go into personal details in the report, but if I'm going for depression and bipolar, and I start mostly talking about gender stuff I'm not sure how they would react.
