I debated whether to put this post in the Transgender Forum or the Depression Forum. But since I post quite a bit in the Transgender Forum, I decided to post this one here. I guess it could also have gone in the Anxiety Forum, or in the... (well, you get the idea... )

I am my own worst enemy. I have a passion for trying to help every young transsexual person I run across... every older one too, for that matter. Unless I can help others with similar problems, my lifetime of struggle means nothing. But spending time pondering these issues, causes them to keep flooding back.

In addition to my lifetime of struggles with Gender Identity Disorder (GID), I've also struggled with major depression, generalized anxiety disorder, & several other related problems. In my saner moments, I know I need help. (In my not-so-sane time periods, I am convinced there's really nothing wrong. I'm just a normal everyday sort of guy. )

But how can I even begin to address problems related to depression & anxiety, etc. when there is this proverbial 800 lb. GID gorilla sitting in the room with me... no... worse than that... sitting on my lap... riding around on my back? I can't do anything about this crazy GID-dzilla! I can't get rid of it. I can't get past it. And I can't begin to do anything about my depression & anxiety, etc. until I do. It's hopeless
