I don't know who I am anymore

[GenGeneration]

I'm 22 and MTF, I recently had SRS and now I feel more lost than ever. Like what is the point anymore? Like what do I do now? It feels like I've hit a dead end. I'm not really attracted to anyone and I don't think anyone is attracted to me, so I don't know. I'm kind of scared of men because of past trauma and I have trouble being around them, it's causing me a lot of problems.

Do you know how I can improve or find purpose?

Hi,

Welcome to the BB forums and thank you for being so open here. I can see that you are feeling overwhelmed and distressed. You are so strong for getting through your hardship.

Finding your purpose takes time. It means going through new experiences. Thinking about your past experiences and thinking about your future goals. Some people find their purpose at age 70.

Have you considered seeing a mental health professional? They can help you cope with what you are currently going through.

Please stay safe and I am here to chat if you need me.
