[quote=Gaia]Because people have brought up mental illness: I know mental illness. I've had depression and anxiety for as long as I can remember. I've taken antidepressants since I was in high school, and I work with people who are mentally ill. To me, being transgender feels different. For example, I remember when I started taking my little daily happy pill. A few days later, a switch clicked in my brain as my brain finally had the right chemical balance of serotonin. My depression subdued and I knew that I was who my brain and body had the full potential of being in regards to happiness. When I first brought up my thoughts on being trans to my therapist, she suggested upping the dose of my antidepressant. That did nothing, so I switched meds. Still nothing. That same switch happened when I started HRT. My body now has just as much estrogen as yours, and finally I feel at home in my body.[/quote]
