Hi Everyone
Im currently suffering from major anxiety and depression caused by various issues. The main issue is gender related. I was born as a male and grew up that way until the on set of puberty where things went badly wrong.
I was eventually told i was intersex, i had the chromosomes of both sexes, but it was undetected at birth because everything looked normal. I chose to remain as a boy and i was given medication namely Testosterone and Estrogen blockers.
So ive grown up and lived my life as a man but ive always had issues with my gender, something was just wrong. I am now 36 and 2 years ago i made the decision to stop my medication. Things have gone crazy since and even though i am currently in counselling i suffer terribly with anxiety and depression. I feel very alone in the world and have few friends.
Most of my friends found it difficult when i told them i was intersex and that i was now stopping my medication because i was confused, i realise they where not true friends but hopefully i can meet some new ones here :)
Thanks
