I am desperately trying to slough my way through life. I have been abused in so many ways, struggle with physical and mental illness, and just feel...exhausted. I have recently come out as a trans man and am transitioning, and feel more security in my sexuality and gender than ever. But now there is crippling dysphoria I had always pushed to the back of my mind. My one best friend does not support me, my family does not support me, and I have already met cruelty for it in my day to day and I haven't even started hrt yet. I have joined a trans support group, I have taken steps to be more healthy, continued medication and therapy, done everything right... And still there is so much suicidal ideation. I feel like I will never escape my pain and truly recover. I have a partner who loves me, more friends than I did before... But I still feel as if I have no future. I struggle to work and make money. I struggle to do everything. How can I recover and move forward when death seems like the solution to all my problems?

Hey Guest,
As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. The UK and OFCOM has singled out this community and have been focusing its censorship efforts here. It takes a good amount of resources to maintain the infrastructure for our community and to resist this censorship. We would appreciate any and all donations.

I can relate so much. My circumstances are different but like you I am trying so hard to recover and still feel like I am not making any progress. I have tried many medications, therapies, meditation, exercise, support groups, yet I constantly wish I could be euthanized (I refuse to call it suicide). I have a loving spouse so I am making my best effort to recover or at least get to a tolerable place, but I have told him that I'm not willing to suffer forever. If a reasonable amount of time passes and I'm still in this much pain I feel like the humane thing to do would be to allow me to go (I have already purchased N as a backup). However I still very much hope it won't come to that. Maybe we could encourage each other. I'm actually in a residential treatment center getting round the clock help, but I feel like if this doesn't help me nothing will.
