My grades had become frighteningly bad, my mood was sour, and hygiene was horrible. I'd stopped trying to be the girl in the mirror, and with it, I'd stopped caring about everything. It alarmed my parents so much that I was sent to a psychiatrist. I told him pretty much everything about how I was feeling EXCEPT about being trans. That was my secret.
Wow, this sounds very familiar. The difference being, the psychiatrists not really seeming to talk about anything useful at all regarding my depression. Hell, I still don't really know why I was depressed, at least I don't remember it any more than I can remember a fading dream. I just remember seeing some doctor for a half hour twice a week, being put on more and more medication, and my mom having to take a second job to pay for it all, which did not help my mental state in the least.
My grades... didn't seem to fare as well as yours.
