I’m so close to just giving up on trying to transition and just praying that the dysphoria goes away on its own, I’m not strong enough for this

i soo understand where you’re coming from. transition is so hard, and being trans can take so much strength. from my experience though, the dysphoria will never fully go away. the way i see it, we only have one chance at life, and i’d rather things be hard but i’m being true to myself, than things still be hard and i’m repressing really important aspects of my identity and dealing with lingering dysphoria. that being said, i really hope things get easier for you and you find some joy<3

Thanks, I’m just in a tough spot, unforgiving area, less than supportive family, even my doctors aren’t all that helpful, it feels very isolating and part of me can’t help but feel that maybe the isolation / dysphoria trade isn’t worth it. Idk, I don’t like being whiny or a downer but sometimes I just need to :(

I am going through this myself right now especially with my family, it is so hard and stressful to be our true selves. The isolation feeling is so horrible

yeah i get it! sometimes you just gotta vent/complain, and i don’t blame you at all. sometimes it’s about being realistic, i get it. i’m not even close to fully out yet due to like super transphobic family, which SUCKS, and it’s terrifying! the isolation is the worst part, i’m so sorry you’re dealing with that. ❤️
