So many of y'all may have noticed for a while that I wouldn't get online for quite some time then appear and rinse a repeat. Some of that was my internet being shit and changing providers, a good part of it was family bullshit, but a lot of it was just because I didn't feel getting on the internet as a whole in general. This is mainly because I just didn't want to talk to no one, mainly because I was always stressed and pissed due to said bullshit, as well as the fact that everything became repetitive and stale, minus this forum, to me and that made certain things boring to me. As well, my mental health began taking a toll on me as well because I would skip days of taking my medicine and that didn't help and constant family drama and bullshit just pushed me to my edge more or less in a manner of speaking. As well, I just had a bad outlook on life and had views and opinions that just made me bitter and hateful, I suppose you can say. There is one major thing though I wanted to say, but have been hiding it from it everyone, especially on here, for about a year now.
I am a trans-woman now, and I have been for year now. I'll explain my story or well give a shorthand version of it. This all happened on April 20, 2020, my birthday, when that night I went to go to sleep, and suddenly this rush of emotions hit me and I just broke down. Like a major breakdown and everything, and even to this day I have no clue why it happened, but the next day I went to the doctor and told him everything that happened and he looked over my file, my old doctor retired and so I had to find a new one. He asked me a weird question that struck me. He said, "I guess, you decided not to transition." I looked at him puzzled and come to find out when I was younger, about 14 or 15, my mom had me "tested" for Gender Dysphoria, but for some reason my brain had blocked that memory, you could say. Later that day when I went to my therapist for my Bipolar Disorder and such, like I have been doing to a degree, and I mentioned this to her and she said it could a couple of things that made me block or I was forced to block it, either way I had to ask my mom about this. So I did and we got into a big fight and I ended up leaving her and my stepdad because I just had enough of everything and I stayed at a friend's house for a while.
About a week later, she called and wanted to meet me and talk everything out. I agreed, but it had to be on a neutral ground. So we went to my step-grandmother's and we talked. She ended up confessing to me a bunch of things and admitted that she wasn't a great mother especially towards me, and so I asked her if she was willing to try now, since I believe people should get a second chance. Fast forward some time and I began transitioning to a woman, and began changing all my legal stuff and such. I soon was able to accept myself for who I was and finally felt like I belong now. I did regret not doing this earlier like when I was 18 or even 21 really, but you can't live your life according to the what ifs. Afterwards, my mom's and I relationship got a bit better, it is still a work in progress, and even my relationship with my step-dad got better to the point where he asked me to be his daughter, or basically he asked if he adopt me.
A lot of good happen, but a lot of bad happened as well. My four siblings have pretty much disowned, but fuck them anyways. I have lost a good amount of friends, but gained some better ones and found out who really has my back, which is very few. Recently, though and why I haven't been online or just hopping on and off is because I began rethinking about things I enjoyed and I spend way too much time on the internet so I decided on a break would the best, and it has been. I limit my time and do/watch things I enjoy now. I have also began changing my view on life and adopting different philosophies as well, which has helped me and means I have became less of edge lord, less hateful, and all around just more chill.
That is pretty much everything that has been happening and why I have been distant, you could say, and as for pronouns and all of that, since I figured that would be asked. I use She/her, but you can keep calling me Seto as I have used that name forever and I am not that picky about it and such. Plus, there are too many people on this forum that use my real name. Remember I am rational not crazy, lol. Also, even if you don't agree, or whatever word you want to use, with being transgender or even transitioning all I ask for is respect and that is it. So yeah, also as of yesterday I have been approved for my GRS, which is both good and scary for a couple of reasons, and that is all and I will you all on the flip side.
