Hi...
Hello, my name is Chase. I'm 25. I'm transgender. I have suffered through a lot of issues mentally for most of my life. Depression, anxiety, eating disorders...an unofficial diagnosis of BPD and questioning Autism, was diagnosed with ADD as a child and many ASD cases are misdiagnosed as that, OCD and other mental health issues. I've been pretty much helping myself on my own since childhood. I saw 1 therapist and 1 counselor in my life. And both of them gave me an extreme hatred towards mental health professionals. So...here I am.
Hi there Chase. Thank you for reaching out. That sounds like quite a lot of stress that you’ve been through! I am also transgender (ftnb) and your story reminds me a lot of my own experiences, especially the questioning Autism part of that. It’s interesting that being trans often overlaps with being autistic a lot! I hope you know that there are people here to support you in a more understanding way than others may have in the past 💛 I’m glad you’re reaching out on 7 Cups!
