Something That Often Leaves Me Feeling Very Anxious...


Flint

Recommended Posts

Sometimes i look around the forum and see someone say about how they 'can't' go ahead with any surgeries or hormones becuase of health conditions. It gets me in a very anxious mood not to mention very depressed. I start thinking "If they can't go on for medical reasons, surley i can't?" having something as serious as a heart condition that i was born with that in fact essentially means only one side of my heart is actually doing any valuable work i become EXTREMELY anxious. <_< What i'm basically asking for here is for anyone out there with ANY medical conditions that they thought may effect them getting HRT, there experiences of getting HRT and things like that. And if you have a medical condition that has stopped you from getting HRT what is the reason for his? If you don't wanna say fair enough, if you don't wanna say here and would rather PM me then feel free to PM me.

Matty....

I have the very same fears...

Having to stop my HRT ? I'm not sure what I'd do if that were to happen to me...

You know that all of us are on HRT for life once we start...

I have diabetes and high blood pressure (both under control) but, I'm 60 and at an age when things start falling apart...

But, I am monitored by a good doctor and have my blood work done..I eat right and take care of myself...

So, I'm at 15 months HRT and counting....

There are a lot of conditions that we can have that won't preclude getting our HRT...both MTF and FTM....

I do , on occasion, hear of a Trans person that has to give up their HRT for medical reqasons and it just breaks my heart...

Chin up, Matty......

      I'll be going to some Pride events as a spectator.  Maybe marching in a parade if they have open participation.    The event we'd prefer to go to is held in a small town with a population of less than 600.  They have a parade through all three blocks of their downtown area.  Unfortunately, this year it is on the same day as a memorial service for a friend who passed away this winter, so we'll have to miss it.  So our second choice is a larger town, population about 9000, a bit farther away.    And we are keeping our eyes open for other events in the general area as they are announced.   I dress a bit flashier than normal, with some trans bling, such as rainbow or trans flag earrings, a trans symbol pendant, and a handheld trans flag to wave.  Political sentiment is turning against us, but public sentiment here is still strongly on our side, so getting out and showing the flag, both literally and figuratively, is important.

      I had that going on with my last two partners who were 20 years older than me.  One of them looked older for her age as well.  I remember a couple times being in the grocery store a decade ago and having people ask "can I help you ladies with something?" and then I'd turn around with my red beard.  Well before I started transitioning, but my partner knew I was trans back then.   I struggle with this as well.  My music and political career can have a masculine edge to it that I don't like.  It's been really frustrating lately.  I don't like pushing myself on others or telling people what to do.  I've been running a website for 25 years and have virtually never tried to promote it or even look at any analytics.  I don't want to push it on anyone.  I put what I have on it and make it publicly available.  It's part of my production process.  It keeps me sane and if someone else can find it useful, then I'm happy to share.

      I'm curious, but then if I am true to myself, I have a hard time being in crowds.  I love hearing great music, but being in an audience is such a turnoff for me that I don't go to concerts or bars.  I'm just very much a producer.  I actually like doing the dishes more than going to concerts because it's an active thing.

      My therapist is trying a new tact. I've named my self protection self that ssays not eating or too much exercise because when I starting because oftrauma my protective self started and also at the time the name Shay came to me and is now part of my name.  It's not like having a split personality, just my primative self protection who is always there to help me. My therapist has Shay, me and him working as a team to assure her that I am safe and to start changing her role in my life so I protect me by eating right and exercising to maintain a heathy body. It is helping a little but we just started this a few weeks ago.
