I think I finally know why I was so angry and depressed through high school. I was not sure who I was and not happy with what I was. Man high school was tough enough without this in my mind also. it is amazing I never climbed a clock tower!

I can empathize fully! I missed two full years of H.S., made up some credits to satisfy the legal minimum, and ultimately graduated at the bottom of my class. I can't say gender issues were the only driver - there were WAY too many issues going on in those years! I don't think I'll ever sort it all out.

I understand your feelings completely! At that age too many kids think they know it all and never take the time to learn anything! One of the most important things a person needs to learn is about themself and who they are! Hugs!
If you don't like the way I'm livin', you just leave this long haired country girl alone:

It is incredible, isn't it. You struggle through life with certain issues mainly because you never had any experience with them or no help understanding and decades later you finally get it.

YA I totally recognize that thought. The last thing I read that actually made sense to all this is:
The Gender Variant Phenomenon--A Developmental Review
By Anne Vitale Ph.D.
NOTE: This is taken, in part, from a paper I wrote in 2001 entitled Implications of Being Gender Dysphoric: A Developmental Review. It was peer reviewed and published in Gender and Psychoanalysis, An Interdisciplinary Journal, Vol. 6 No. 2, Spring 2001, pp 121-141. I have updated it and post it here to make it available over the internet.
Brilliant work here's the LINK
Depression is just anger without enthusiasm.
Hey, I think it is a miracle that any kid lives past high school.
It's always something...

What an excellent reference and article - thank you. While weighted a bit too much toward the TS, still, it describes me to a "T", almost to my dismay.Originally Posted by *Vanessa*
