Support Groups
Close Transgender
I don't have much of a story to tell, but I'm a gay man living in a woman's body. As of now, I have no plans to do anything about it.
Close Chronic Pain
Chronic headaches, joint pain, back pain, migraines, all of it.
Treatments
- Heat Somewhat Helpful
- It helps sometimes with joint pain and things like that, but it never takes all the pain away.
- Physical Therapy Working / Worked
- I've been in biofeedback, which is probably the closest to physical therapy on here, and it works fairly well. I recommend it, if not to actually cure the pain, but to deal with it better and understand your body more.
- Topamax Not Working
- I tried Topamax for a while, and it really didn't do much to help with pain. It made me really dizzy and nauseous and it wasn't worth it for what it did.

Type: Open AdoptionI was adopted at age 3.
Open Coming Out
awkwardtourtise hasn’t entered any details for this support group.Open Acne
Treatments
- AcneFree Working / Worked
- It's working well so far, sometimes I have to give my skin a break from it though because it is drying and it also hasn't helped with all of it.
- Benzoyl Peroxide Somewhat Helpful
- It works pretty well, it just dries out my skin a lot and doesn't help with all of my acne.
- Proactiv Not Working
- Proactiv made my skin a lot worse. I definitely don't recommend it.
- Retin-A Somewhat Helpful
- Retinol helps with those pesky dried-over bumps, and it definitely helped me with skin-grown-over whiteheads. It can be harsh, though.
- Washing Somewhat Helpful
- Washing is always helpful as it helps to remove dirt and oil from the skin's surface.
Open Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Treatments
- Ibuprofen Working / Worked
- Pain management rocks.
- Wrist Splint Somewhat Helpful
- It helps to stabilize the wrist so it doesn't progress as much.
Open Insomnia
Treatments
- Counting Sheep Not Working
- Counting sheep basically just gets numbers stuck in my head, and that's really annoying.
- Lavender Not Working
- Ouch! Headache trigger.
- Music Somewhat Helpful
- Music is a nice distraction, but my thoughts still race.
- Reading Somewhat Helpful
- It's helpful when you need to get tired, but it doesn't actually get you to sleep at all.
Open Gay & Lesbian Teens
I suppose I count as a gay male, even though I'm externally female.
Open Self-Injury
Treatments
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- Therapy definitely helped a lot.
- Squeezing Ice Working / Worked
- Squeezing out is fun, distracting, and definitely helps to calm as an alternative to injury.
- Talking Working / Worked
- Talking is always a great way to get out feelings, and to understand a connection with others.
Open Weight Loss For Teens
I need to lose weight to try and get rid of extra body fat so I have less of a female figure.
