hi
apparently
 my grandmother did much more than i said yesterday. when my mother 
confronted my mother on the powder on my face my grandmother said, " 
well if ... my brother, wants some powder on his face she would do the
 same for my brother." my aunt and mother were not amused at that smart 
remark but i laughed lol. 
 
there is much more because my grandmother showed me how women 
put lipstick on and then told me to watch my mother put it on so i would
 know how to apply lipstick. this is why i watched my mother when i 
thought all along i just did it on my own. my grandmother put perfume on
 me when my mother would not and my mother smelled it on me. upon 
arriving home i was told to put that shirt filled with grandmother's 
perfume in the laundry.  
 
there is not way i did tell my grandmother everything. the day
 my aunt and mother tried to put me in an institution is the day my 
grandmother truly embraced me as a woman.  i just wish she was around to
 see the woman i have turned into because of her helping me early in my 
life. there was no coming out party for me because i was out since birth
 and most definitely at the age of 7.  that is why i cannot relate to 
people saying when did come out? in the past i would say, " i don't know
 if i ever did." 
 
now today i am depressed because of surgery and why could i 
not have been a 20's girl when i was 24 yrs old at Penn State?  i look 
at the younger girls and i am so dying to be with one so i can be one?  
all i know is i am crying and crying and depressed knowing that my 
grandmother kept the door open but society made me understand it was not
 safe to come out as rachel. 
 
so i hid and hid for 40 yrs? how do you wrap your head around 
that your grandmother helped you only to have society stop you at every 
turn for 40 yrs? i am anger and hurt and want someone to pay? Mary 
Jeanne? i know i cannot get the time back like .... was explaining to 
me. but what do i do at 55 yrs old? i want god to take me or something. 
 
i understand my pain is related to not having access to 
surgery too? but what the hell am i suppose to do after surgery? i have 
no life because the years are gone? there was no reason for people to 
threatened people like me only for me to hide because of the threats of 
death and rape in the news etc.  i saw what people said in many 
countries about girls like me and it was either sexual or threats of 
death or harm.  it was made clear to me to lay low or die.
 
i don't want to be a stripper but at least i will be free?  i 
mean i want my 20's back after surgery and now.  i think i deserve a 
relationship now and years ago. i am a good person but i had no where to
 run and now i really like me but i missed out on all the good years. 
 
now i am physically beaten down by RA so badly that if i do 
not lift weights i cannot sleep. the loss of muscle mass has ..... i cry
 and cry and cry when i lift 5 lbs over my head in what are called 
flyes.  i mean i want to be me so bad and have surgery i am pushing 
through pain few will understand. i am prepared to die and be beaten 
down by RA and everything. but all of this could have been avoided if i 
was me years ago. but no i am 55 yrs old and i am fighting for my life 
while i relive nightmare after nightmare from my past.
 
my childhood and adult life did not have to be ..... i am tired of cryinggggggggggggggggggggggggg
gggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg
ggggggggggggg
 
i
 want the pain to leave me and for me to have a normal life but it will 
never be because of the RA and depression that i will never be accepted 
as a woman. i might be fighting for nothing and maybe i need to do what 
others do and just quit, file for disability and eat myself to death.
 
i do not think i will eat myself to death but at what point 
will i lose my strong will to fight. i have been fighting apparently 
since i was 7 yrs old and yet god has not intervened for surgery and a 
life with people that like me in my day to day life enough to spend time
 with me. where is he? 
the day will come when i no longer care and my method of suicide 
will be food.  i was on that path before 2011 and last week i gained 7 
lbs in 3 days with binge eating.  i will not take pills nor kill myself 
but suicide, like a woman that drank herself to death via alcohol, will 
be via food for me.  this could lead to me becoming Don again? if i stop
 caring i will probably do what i did not so long ago and just throw a 
dress on without showering or putting make up on.  i have yet to start 
putting my nail polish on like i did in the past. 
 
i am not out of the woods but i am a different person and so 
vulnerable and susceptible to be drawn back into the world of the adult 
book stores, stripping clubs. but this time around i might actually end 
up in a adult film or on the stripping club stage. all of what i thought
 in the past does not exist and one false move and i will be on the 
other side of the fence in no time.
 
how bad are things here? i am ok to a point but i still pre 
dial 911 when i exercise everyday and go to bed just in case i have 
another panic attack. when my stress is high i literally cannot see the 
keys on my phone pad to call 911 so i have to pre dial it just in case i
 do have a panic attack.  this has been the case for nearly 3 yrs. also 
it is rare for me to sleep 2 nights in a row the entire night without 
waking up at midnight in a near panic attack which is mediated by food.
 
now my hips hurt so bad because of how i walk has changed so 
much.  the pain in my hips 3 days ago was so bad i could barely get out 
of bed. all i did the day before was walk around Portland.   
.......friend asked me to call her from face book... private part of story
 
i am just tired of fighting on hormones and to be me.  at every turn
 there is a good challenge that test me to a new level. after i beat 
back the hips what is next? apparently due to a noggle on right foot on 
one toe because of my new method of walking it is causing intense pain 
to my foot to walk. so i will have to talk to my RA, ...., 
about something we agreed in the past to not do. that is i will more 
than likely have the noggle surgically removed so i can walk without 
extreme pain. 
i want a health, happy and sexy woman here but when will all 
of this let up?  i know why the others do not talk? you remember all of 
the horrors of your past and how you hid from others and what you did to
 others. it is a damn nightmare.  there is never a let up including this
 morning when i realized in the 1980's when i was training to go back 
into the marines at Jake's gym i could not go into the all women's 
section. this is something that cannot be undone and today i am 
terrified of the thought of rejection of going into the women's locker 
room in a gym. 
 
who can take a beating like this and talk about it? me for a 
while but when will it end or will all of this do me in like so many 
others?
 
take care
