Becky, so glad you jumped in. This, "...Unfortunately the Crossdressing compounds the issue as I was left feeling hollow rather than enjoying it." is kind of what I assumed it must be for you. OK, since I'm asking. I recall when you first joined. Did you "know" you were TS or were you in denial hoping you were "just a normal cross dresser"?
I'm glad you found your way, by the way!
