transHello All,
I thought I should inroduce myself and perhaps explain what brought me to this group.
My name is Lauren. I'm a transgendered female living in Jacksonville Florida, and I've got a number of problems/troubles/issues bothering, plauguing and weighing me down......and I need help. I've turned to some friends....and they are truely wonderful and a blessing, but as friends, there's only so much that they can do to help me.
What such problems? At the moment there's four that are coming to my mind. A wise friend told me to identify the problems....note them as such....get through them.....put them behind....and forget them. But, I don't know how.....so again, I'm asking for help. With what? As I said there are four things right now:
1) Coping and surmounting my co-dependancy to people, predominantly in romantic relationships
2) Coping with and figuring out what to do about my transgender issues (Born with the body of a male, but mind of a female....a spirit of both)
3) The crippling nature of fear itself and the grip it has on me
4) Stagnation in my life....unhappy with my work/job....especially as I spent many years in college, and I'm stuck with a job that I have trouble living from paycheck to paycheck (Which complicates the co-dependancy issue, finanacial independance, makes it difficult to live alone)
OK...I know that was a lot for an introduction...but I wanted to get all that off my chest while I felt like I could open up. Thank you for listening...*hugs*
