Would Like To Talk To Someone

[Guest Nancy_Anna]

Look, i have tried to get advice in allot of different chat rooms and basically they all say the same thing

This is what I am up against I have no money I have done hormones on my own and the only reason i stopped is because of lack of money

I can not afford a consular because of alack of money

what I think I need to do is talk to someone and get advice on how to live with myself or to talk to someone 1on1

I live in Ma. U.S.A

Love nancy Anna

Nancy hon,

What is the advice from different chat rooms that you are you referring to? If the advice is the same regardless of chat room, don't you think that the truth is being spoken?

Hormones on your own is not the way hon, and you know it. In reality, you are wasting you money and risking your health by doing so. The probability that you are taking the right dosage for you is 0%.

Living with yourself comfortably is what I do want to see with you. Know this... regardless of your stage, regardless of your circumstances, you are a person, a person of worth. Just because you are not where you would like to be at this very moment does not mean that you are not worth love and understanding.

Unfortunately, I have to get offline now, but we can talk tomorrow.

Send me a PM now, and I will respond tomorrow. We can take things from there.

Love

Brenda

Nancy, I see on your profile that you are 59, and I'm sure you know that there are many of us here in that age group. I myself am 56.

I know that at this age, you feel like time is running out for you. But the fact is that transition does take time and there are no short cuts.

You haven't been around long enough for me to know much about you. Have you tried looking for a government subsidized LGBT center in your area;

they often have low cost therapy and HRT programs. Have you tried on-line therapists - they are often less expensive. Some therapists require less

hours than others before they will give you a letter or referral for HRT.

There are always options, hon. You can PM me if you want. Just don't go the "do-it-yourself" route. In that way lies danger.

Try talking to a therapist and ask if they can make arrangements to see you for cheaper since you have income constraints.

Then stop buying your medicine over the internet. It's not just more expensive it's been reported that some come from places with zero accountability and tend to send weak medicine if it's even the correct stuff. Plus even if they sell you the actual stuff correctly if you take too much the excess estrogen may be converted to testosterone and negate any positive effects while ramping up the chances of the negative side effects.

Once you see a doctor for hrt the medicine and the cost of the doctor is just about the same as buying the medicine over the internet and you get an expert to make sure you don't run into complications to boot. I mention this only because I care, self medicating for hrt is incredibly dangerous and the pills are so much more expensive. No joke, my month's supply that would cost $50 online cost me $8 from Target with tax and I know for sure that the pills are what they say they are down to the strength.

I know it's a difficult path. I'm right there with you struggling to make ends meet too. Have faith and God will see you through no matter what other people say.

Hang in there Nancy Anna. I wish you only the best.

Nancy_Anna.....

Honey....I see a consensus here....and they're all correct!

Please, please ...get in touch with a LGBT center or call a therapist and ask for monetary help...

You need good HRT and to be monitored....OK?

I am 54 going on 55

I recommend you get some assistance. Often towns my have low-fee or reduce fee counseling services. Call a local hospital and ask them. Also the suggestions that you find support in the way of a LGBTQ local group is also excellent.

Welcome to Lauara's Playground and PM me if you wish.
