    Hello,

    You seem to have done so much already you should be proud. If your family are accepting of who you are, want to be then more power to you. You were born and had no choice over certain aspects but if you know in your heart who you should be then go for it.

    You are on the pinnacle of achieving some amazing things and at 20 you have a lot of time and don’t feel guilty about being depressed, these things are all relative and what is of importance to you. I am trying to fight that battle myself and finally admitted to my wife yesterday that i am depressed and it is something that is in me, has been for years ,regardless of my circumstances at the time i will always look for a negative in a situation rather than a positive.

    If your best friend is really that then they will accept you and as for your small town worries. Shove em! You have the propensity and the talent to be able to do something someone like me could only dream of!

    I am form the UK and i don’t know much about London but i do know it is a very cosmopolitan city.

    Good luck and take care.

    Dear Max:

    I hope your therapy helps and that you can see your therapist more often.

    One comment: because wearing boxers and such makes you so happy only for “a few hours (sometimes a day or two) and then the excitement wears off”- better not do a biological transition until you gain enough insight through therapy and over time, insight that is needed to evaluate such a big investment and physical ordeal as transitioning.

    You wrote: “I just want to snap out of this”- I can relate a whole lot to wanting to “snap out of” this and that.  If only I could. Instead, I have to take the long road, the patience required with a long journey. I imagine you have to do so too, take the long road, being patient with the process.

    I would like to read more from you, the origin of your anxiety and depression, when did it start… your experiences of early childhood.
