Transitioning FTM
For a little over 4 years now I have been transitioning FTM. I've had top surgery, body masculinization surgery, Hysterectomy/Oopherectomy, and have been on Testosterone Injections throughout this process until October 2021 that's when I felt that things mentally hit the fan and I discovered that my mental state was in massive shock and lost who I was anymore. I grew up in a very religious home and was very sheltered and have had relationships that have been very abusive mentally, physically, and emotionally by the type of females I've been with and I just hit rock bottom of feeling I was cursed for the life I was living as a trans man and that I would die and go to hell for it. Being a Christian is very important to me but I always feel I am not welcome because of who I am as a FTM person. I stopped Testosterone in October due to my mental health and considered detransitioning. A few friends and family I told about it and my family seemed relieved but within myself I still felt off kilter about it all. I felt peace from God but I didn't feel I was myself by doing so. I continued only to get worse and couldn't keep a job nor felt I could be alone or get out and do things on a daily basis. I'm scared to go back on hormones even though I've recently for the past 2 weeks bought Testosterone booster over the counter at Walmart to see how my body would feel, which has helped a lot due to not having any hormones in my body at all. I just want to feel normal again and to be on my own bc my family even though I love them, they are not good for me and hinder me in a lot of ways mentally. 💔
@passionateApple8878 hello fellow brother! I am personally not a Christian myself, but I've met trans people and people in the lgbtq community who were. I think you should focus on your relationship with God. God wouldn't judge you. You don't owe people anything. Follow your heart, and continue to do what makes YOU happy. You aren't obligated to please others.
