Hi everyone. It's sort of scary to be doing this but I'm going to trudge forward and do it anyway. I wanted to introduce myself.
My Name's Lori, of course that isn't what my relatives and such call me. I'm 25 years old and I've had trouble finishing college mostly due to the depression that identifying as Transsexual has caused me. It isn't so much the GID itself as much as it is the reaction of other people to it. I've been very good at hiding my emotions and needs from myself to create a strange bubble that I could exist in, within myself. This has allowed me to act in the male world and not really have to feel anything. But it wears thin pretending to be something I'm sure I am not. So I've started to explore these feelings I left sitting in that darkened bubble deep inside. It's a scary journey, sometimes I want to turn back and just stop feeling again. I figured that by taking this step and meeting some people who understand I could sort of connect my experiences to theirs. As I have kept a limited base of friends through my life I find that I want to start reaching out and meet new people as I start this journey.
Anyway, Hello everyone.
