[QUOTE="Fao, post: 710297, member: 21626"] I'm actually extremely open about being transgender usually, because I finally feel at peace with myself about being myself. But his parents hate anyone who is trans (they refuse to be friends with anyone LGBT I've noticed), and I'm afraid if I told them, they would kick us out :( it wouldn't be fair, but unfortunately, we are technically guest here. I refuse to take medication though. I don't believe it is necessary for everyone, nor has it ever worked for me (seriously, the only medication I have ever taken that actually affects me was the oxcy stuff I was on when my son was born). I am, however, open to natural medications (herbs, meditation, sweat lodges, those kinds of things). Meditation worked for me in the past, but that was well before I was even married, let alone with a kid. I have tried a couple anxiety medications in the past, but they actually made me worse. They put me on one at the hospital against my will (I found out I could've been there for a month if I refused it), and it actually made me paranoid, have increasingly disturbing nightmares, and felt ill for a week after stopping it when I left. & I am mentally unable to work. Possibly physically unable actually. The last time I had a job that lasted for more than a month (the only job that lasted that long), I got extrememly sick, & lost my job because of that. Not entirely sure why, but I only got sick at work, nowhere else. The other time's I worked, I got either severely stressed to the point where it affected my work terribly or caused a physical illness where I could not do my job. Mentally, I am not stable enough to do almost any job, at almost any location. I know I could work at a bookstore if I tried, since I'm so comfortable there, but unfortunately that refuse to hire me (even when I do not mention the very few, short jobs I had). I have social anxiety, and working with people makes me very short-tempered, as well as increases my chance for either a breakdown or fullblown panic attack (which I am hoping is just stress related due to where I am living. If it is, then it should disappear. If it's not, my therapist has agreed to write out a letter for a service dog). My husband does work, but it's third shift so I'm alone with my son while we both sleep, but while my husband is home & we are awake, he has to sleep so I'm taking care of our son literally by myself. I can't wake him up, & I've tried :( [/QUOTE]
