I have my psychiatrists appointment Tuesday coming it is for a diagnosis and a referral to the gender identity clinic. I'm worried because psychiatrists are meant to be bullies luckily my mom and counselor will be there so he wont bully me so much.

Hey less than 24 hours until my appointment I'm getting really really nervous but at least I can speak with my counselor she along with my mom is the only thing keeping me alive at the moment but I'm sure I will have plenty to look forward to in the future. The new place is OK but I really miss family theres some marriage trouble between my mom and dad right now, My dad loves the F1 so my mom got them tickets to see the F1 in Spain and my dad said he doesn't want to go because she never asked him when it was a surprise and he said he wants to sort me out first? I suppose he wants me to go to college again education and work is always more important than health and happiness in our family *sigh*. They had many marriage problems before but my mom has threatened to leave my dad and I don't want that to happen because I know they love each other and I'd rather disappear of the face of the earth than have them split up.

Kia Ora KL,

I know it's sad that your parents are having problems but it's up to them to solve it themselves and you being who you are is NOT the cause of their problems....In their own way both your parents love you dearly and both want what's best for you...However it would be best if you got YOURSELF sorted out with the psychiatrist first...And wanting to disapear off the the end of the earth...could be the straw that breaks the camel's back-both parents no doubt would 'blame' themselves or each other...I'm sure you wouldn't want that to happen...THINGS WILL WORK OUT ! Just give it time and TIME is what you've got plenty of...

Thanks Princecharmless I just come back from my appointment he wants me to conquer most of my depression before being referred to the gender clinic so he has prescribed me some anti depressants just to help I then have an appointment with him again in February to see if my state is better and if it is then I get a referall. It sounds logical and have no disagreements with him except the fact he said I should have all my female stuff taken away for a bit (yh right) lol.

Kia Ora KL,

Remember it's not the clothes that make you female...you are what you are no matter what you wear...As for the anti depressants...It's important that you take them but see your doctor if they make you feel uncomfortable... Around this time of year, xmas pressure builds up and winter's cold wet damp weather and dark days can add to the feelings of depression especially in Europe and areas of North America where they experience really cold winters...During these cold dark winter months you should get some bright big posters of sunshine beaches etc, or ones of mountains with plenty of crispy white snow [a travel agent might have some one disued ones] and stick them up on your lounge-bedroom walls somewhere where you see them often B)^_^ ...'EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS' KL, February will be here before you know it! :)

TY for all your help Jendar I'll try and keep my mood up and I'm sure confidence will follow very soon. I hope the anti depressants will make a difference I didn't really give them the chance before. My cousin has been asking after me I think I will surprise her next time I go over my nans haven't seen them for over 2months :( I'm looking forward to Christmas this year word has it I might be getting a really expensive dress :lol: can't wait.

      Isn't it illegal to be examining people's genitals without their consent?    Could've sworn that was some sort of law already.

      Hi Vidanjali, both of my parents had pasted on in their lifetimes.

      Oddly i often feel i pass but then bump into someone who reads my past attempts at maleness.    Last week at the market a man spoke me as i went back to my car.  I heard "You are beautiful"!  Odd!!!!!  Then he said something about marriage and i started to get worried.  Turned out he is married to a trans woman.  He was sweet and probably is tuned to trans folks but it was a bit disquieting.     Hugs,   Charlize

      I decided to power wash our back porch and the porch furniture so the uniform of the day is a skort, t-shirt over a sports bra and flip flops with my hair pulled back into a ponytail.

      It's been touched on in another thread, the perception that the folks who scream loudest in favor of free speech are also the loudest in wanting to stifle the freedom of people not like themselves.

      I wonder if the LGBTQI+ umbrella should be split? Create separate entities for LGB and TQI+ folk?    I have no doubt that some cis het people probably think that sexuality and gender identity are the same thing, for whatever the reason, not necessarily willful ignorance. It would be natural for such people to observe that both LGB and T folk are under the same umbrella, so they must be the same, right?   Just as (and I know I'm making some pretty big assumptions in this post) some cis gay folk would think that the LBGTQI+ umbrella is pie - give trans people a slice, and somehow, they will miss out. Just like cis het folk might also think that their lives are somehow being diminished by allowing trans people to have basic human rights.

      Some anxiety is building up inside.

      Suppressing your emotions because you’re afraid of them can be bad for your physical and mental health. Here’s what to do instead. When a toddler feels a “big” emotion, like anger or sadness, they tend to have a big tantrum on the floor. And these tantrums can be a lot to observe, full of thrashing, screaming, and tears. But a child reacts like this because the emotion they’re feeling is uncomfortable, maybe even painful.   Of course, as adults, we feel emotions too, and those feelings can be just as overwhelming, uncomfortable, or even painful as they were when we were children, even if we don’t let ourselves react in such a big way. But, sometimes, in our attempts to not give in to our emotions, we go too far: we run from them or suppress them — even if that harms us in the long run. Although there are many reasons we might suppress our emotions, one of them is that we are afraid of our emotions. Fear of emotions is called “animotophobia. It is not an official term in the DSM-5-TR. Still, fearing your emotions can have a significant impact on your well-being.

      Been a while.... Do you sing or play an instrument?   I sing, write songs, play guitar, bass, harp. It is my sanctuary.
