If you're thinking of suicide, it's time to get more creative about solutions to your problems because suicide is just about the most permanent and drastic option you can take. If you're thinking of drastic options, think about drastic constructive options.
I hope you put suicide out of your head and wish you luck.

I agree with Tracy's approach here.
I've never considered anything even near to it - I love my life even when it's difficult - but I have empathy enough to understand the devastation that others feel.
This brings me to the fact that suicide is doubly common within transsexual communities than the average. And that's why it's so important that we all start taking transsexuality seriously and stop neglecting the sad fact that for many trans*women this is a hard and unjust world.
And we all have an obligation to enlighten the hetero*ppl around us as to the hardships of trans*life as well as the beauty of it.
It's time that we move out of our hidden shelves and spread the message. I've done so for four years, and I'm surely rather alone about it.
