I just sent you a message, but you should take off your email so not everyone can see it.

I already have a therapist, greatly because I'm abusing my body, too. I've only had one session with her, however, and that was with my mother in the room. I've decided to go back and see her. I've not yet decided whether or not to tell her these thoughts. Do you think we could talk privately?

Yeah, we can talk privately. I just sent you a message.

Yes, it is possible to change one's outside look so they are percieved as a different sex, including genitals. I really don't feel I was born in the right body. I don't really know how to explain it...it's just a feeling. It's been weighing on me for a while, and I think it's beggining to make me depressed.

Traveler,

I know what you are going through. As a teen I too wanted to have a sex change. I hated my body with a passion, so badly that I was abusing it.

You really need to get into therapy. You would have to do that anyway even should you decide that is what you want to do.

I hate my breasts and used to wish they were gone, but as I got older I came to be satisfied with what I was given.

I was Bi growing up liking everyone and I too, always seemed to be attracted to gay men. There is nothing wrong with that, but it is SOOOOO confusing.

You should talk to your parents about seeking out a therapist to discuss your options when you are older and to also talk with you about the depression.

I have been in therapy for years and only recently found someone that "gets me". It might take some time, but you can get some help with this.

Take Care

Its not going to be too bad, I have one that has never gotten infected, but I've talked to my doc about it. The healing time should be your normal healing time, the scalp is a pretty resilient area so it should heal fairly quick. They might have to shave a small area around the cyst before its removed and you won't be able to wash or get the area wet.

Yeah, the hair thing doesn't bother me much because mine is only about 1/2 inch long anyways, so that's ok.

I am just not into pain on my head. I think it will be all good, though.

Anything has to be better than headaches 24/7.

Thanks

After it gets removed, how long does it take to heal?

Once the sebaceous cyst is removed, the incision is stitched up. The stitches are removed in a week.

 

Am I going to have to take time off work?

No, only if your appointment is during work hours.

 

Is it painful?

No, the surrounding skin is numbed with an anesthetic.

 

Do they knock you out or are you awake during the procedure?

I was awake. I don't think you'll have to be knocked out for this one.

Thank you so much. I feel a little better knowing this now.

I have three on my scalp, but I went to the doctor because one was really painful. She said it was infected and gave me antibiotics to heal the infection, then she is going to send me to a specialist(?) to have it removed.

I have some questions that I can't find the answers to anywhere.....

I am sooooo scared about having this done. I don't deal well with doctors or hospitals so I am really anxious about it.

Anything anyone can tell me would be GREATLY appreciated.

Dear members,

 

A couple of weeks ago there was a rash of postings concerning a particular member celticghirl. The posts indicated she had been killed in some sort of accident.

 

Due to some inconsistencies in the story, we decided to investigate these reports and determine whether indeed this was a true event.

 

At this time we have concluded our investigation.

 

Upon contacting our sources and reviewing our information, we have determined that this appears to be a hoax and there is no evidence or any other reason to believe that this death has occurred.

 

Our apologies for the length of time that has passed but we did want to make sure we were thorough in checking our sources.

Wow, that is aweful. I can't believe someone needed attention so badly that they had to go and hurt so many people. I am really sorry that happened! I followed the posts and felt really bad for her, but now that I know it was a hoax I am hurt and angry.

I am really glad you were able to determine it was a hoax. I hope this never happens again!

she never sent you to a psychiatrist?

 

I think you should definitely ask to be referred to one. A general practitioner is good for getting antibiotics and such, but she shouldn't be prescribing anti-depressants like they are candy, without making sure that you are getting counseling or therapy.

 

Talk to a psychiatrist, they tend to be more up to date on anti-depressants and their side effects and which one may be the best choice for you.

Well, she thought she sent me to one, but turns out she only had her MFT license. I told my doctor and she told me to call my Insurance company and they could find someone.

The problem with that is that I have severe anxiety when it comes to things like calling. I can't even pick up the phone.

I am seeing a therapist that I really enjoy working with. I have to pay her as she doesn't take my Insurance, but I'd rather pay for someone I like then go to someone I don't.

Oh yeah, I didn't even mention the weight gain. I am on Remeron and Zoloft. I went to my doctor and she said, "you know, you need to lose some weight" that is when I told her that I was before I started taking the meds! She said, "well, maybe you need to talk with the psychiatrist about this" that is when i reminded her that she has never sent me to one.

I think the companies only tell you what they want you to hear. I am glad that I was able to come here and find out that I am not alone in a lot of what I am going through.

I sure hope I don't wind up being one of those that can't orgasm. That would be the worst.

I like being on the meds, as I feel more even keel with my moods, but I don't know if I am willing to have that pleasure removed!

Thanks Camber, I didn't think about oral before. I will have to try that!

I have been taking medication for depression for about a month and a half. I was wondering if it is "normal" for me not to be able to orgasm as easily as I used to.

When I am able to, it seems like it takes forever. Sometimes, when masturbating, I get so tired of trying that I have to stop.

It is so frustrating!

Sometimes porn helps, you know the sights and sounds get me going.

Any ideas?

I am new here, but it sounds like you are having a really hard time trying to figure out what is your purpose.

Most of us don't know our purpose, but you can find out. Maybe it is to help your mother through this difficult time.

It seems that you could cause her an early death just from you doing something to yourself.

Don't you feel like you should stick around for her?

I know that you "bid farewell". but I hope that you have not gone anywhere. Please allow us to help you.
