| The CATS 24-Hour Help Line The act of willing ourselves to conform to an identity that is in opposition to the innate person we know ourselves to be in an extremely abusive coping mechanism we have used in life to survive. For some of us, we presented to the world a highly polished version of who we felt we were expected to be, all the while living with an omnipresent sense of fear lurking in the periphery of our conscious mind. For many of us, this manner of living created a sense of impending doom. Many of us have become prey to depression and misery. Many of us turned to work, sex, drugs, alcohol or any number of behaviors designed to obscure our inner voice. In our experience, the obstacles we all have to face can, at times, seem overwhelming. When we sincerely took the position of honesty, open-mindedness and willingness, we discovered we could face life successfully. Though you may feel your objectives are out of reach, your fellow members are here for you and you are not alone. If you are a transgender who is in need of immediate support, please call the CATS 24-hour help line at 281-585-8089. We are not professional counselors, but we are more than willing to share our experience, strength and hope. We care! |
