Some transgenders experience a range of secondary issues ranging from acute depression, even becoming suicidal. Others become dare-devils, engaging in high risk behaviors.
Some turn to drugs, alcohol, and promiscuous sex, or even prostitution. Many have trouble adjusting to living two lives, and have trouble being situation appropriate.
Since I have been pretty vague in my profile, here's some relevant information.
I'm in the US. I'm 50. I am definitely there on anxiety, paranoia, and depression. The anxiety and paranoia are the biggest issues. Depression is in there too, though, slugging away. These problems are getting worse, I think.
Being situation appropriate is a nightmare sometimes. This is extremely confusing. I feel like I'm at war with myself, internally.
