Just When Things Were Looking Good


Guest Draik

Recommended Posts

So I just moved to Nevada and things were supposed to get better and For a while they were. Now everything sucks again. The guy that owned the house we were supposed to live in pulled out at the last second so we had to stay with my moms boyfriend who's apartment is like a shoe box and I had to sleep on the sofa for 4 days. Then my moms best friend just had her boyfriend move in with her so we could take her boyfriends apartment . Well about 3 weeks ago my moms friend and her boy friend had a huge fight and her boyfriend had to go back to his apartment. So now we are stuck living in my moms friends apartment. We don't have a house and my mom doesn't know when we will have one, my mom doesn't have a job, we don't have money and haven't had any since we got here, My mom said she would get me an orthodontist appointment but hasn't done that and I'm about to hit the 2 1/2 year mark for having them on, All my stuff is in storage, and worst of all she PROMISED she would get a therapist but has failed to do so. I think I'm going to go crazy. She just doesn't understand how bad this affects me and how important it is. She says that it can wait until she gets a job but I want it NOW. I have no idea what to do because I'm to young to get a job so I'm forced to sit around and wait for my mom who has her own stuff to worry about.

On top of that my dad just got sentenced to (Drum Roll) Life In Prison. I had to hear it from my "step mom" because my mom didn't think I could handle it. GAH I have an imbecile for a mom.

Anyway Kudos to anyone who reads this. Any ideas on how to handle the Therapist situation I'm all ears (eyes? :huh:) because I'm out of solutions.

So... I'm guessing you're still in high school. If so, get started in finding help from counselors at your school. Start with the crazy home situation. Even if you don't really want to - it will get SOMEONE to start listening to you.... and if that someone is a counselor and is connected with the school district, they will have access to other connections. The important thing is to open your mouth and start communicating with someone who has the stability (which is apparently not either one of your parents by your description) to hear you. I didn't mean to be offensive to either one of your parents... rough times can happen to anyone... I know they've certainly happened to me. My point is: You don't have to spin out of control even if all the circumstances of your life seem to be. If you have no success at the school, find a YMCA or a church or some sort of youth outreach center... just find a stable adult to talk to and who can maybe help you find the resources you need.

courage, man, courage.

is there an LGBT center or a youth center near you? they sometimes offer free counseling.

There probably is but I don't know where.

I'm supposed to be in high school but I don't actually go to school. My mom was supposed to register me for online classes but hasn't done that yet either.

I don't know anyone here. The closest thing to a trusted adult is Mom. I've barely been outside this apartment complex so I have no idea where a youth center would be.

Look one up? You have the world wide web at your fingertips - type in some searches and look for things, anything, in your area.

You're obviously in a really tough spot. Your mom is too, by the sounds of it, which unfortunately patience works against, but you really got hang tight. She probably didn't expect any of this to happen either, and therapy isn't too cheap, so she really should have a job or something before getting one. In the meantime, search for any groups nearby you, try and keep a cool head. It's a hard time, but freaking out will only make it harder, and you can get through it easier without goin' nuts, y'know?

Hang in there, man.

      When I joined it was purely a play on Maybe. Mae happens to have a couple letters in common with my given name and I started using it when introducing myself to strangers. Since then, actually yesterday, when I caught up with an old friend and told her about my transition she thought she heard "Maeve" when I said "Mae". I could still use Mae as a nickname, it works well with my mother's name as a middle name (she died in 2019 and I love the idea of connecting with her memory more), and my initials wouldn't change if I change my name. So, Maeve it will likely be unless something better comes along. ;)

      I've not had a lot of involuntary action in that department and I'm 6mo in. After 3mo. my T was under 30. My doc wanted labs mid-cycle (3-4 days after my shot) oddly, but I am going to insist on getting trough numbers to determine if T is pushing back when serum E is low. I almost felt like I was going to have MW yesterday morning when I woke up (day of my shot), so I get where your thoughts are on the subject. It would be good to know how long that suppression lasts, not that T&E levels are complete indicators--my doctor doesn't seem to have any plans to check for the broader spectrum of metrics I see a lot on forums like SHBG, etc.

      Take two   blood letting is complete it took two of them pesky little mosquitoes.   our dog came to us mostly potty trained. She had a few “I can’t wait” moments but for the most part she was good.  She learned to ask th be let out. We had a bell on the door and taught her to ring the bell.  Then she learned how to open the door herself.  As long as it wasn’t locked out she’d go.  We had her trained to a hidden fence and collar she would go to the limit and sit and wait for us to tell her it was ok. She has always responded to verbal commands or my whistles.   Oh and there are obvious negatives about a dog knowing how to open doors.  She would disappear and we’d suddenly see her out the window.  Or we’ would let her out and suddenly realize she was sitting with us.  She never learned to close the doors, only open then.

      It took me less than 6 months, in how my body quickly responded to hormone therapy, I was once a 40 jeans size, and now I'm comfortably wearing 12 to 14 sizes. Estrogen can speed things up and can slow things down in order to make adjustments. Seeing a treating doctor is very important to monitor the hormone levels to avoid possible side effects later on in life.

      I actually have Yoga as part of my exercise routine at the moment.  Since I'm still in the first month (of three, arbitrarily chosen by me) I've only got it slated for weekends, Sat/Sun.  I am finding out though if I get a little in during my morning wake up that when I get to my cardio in the evening, my joints don't ache as much. Right now the routine is: Weekly - Minimum of 3 days of cardio Weekly - Minimum 1 day of Yoga Monthly - Single endurance jog, preferably on Sunday I want my big thighs and butt to kinda hang around, so I am going to work some cycling into the mix after the third month. So far though, with the help of the Yoga stretches, Down 14lbs in a month. Next week is month 2.  ;_;  Going to put the tredmill on a slight incline to see if I'm ready for it.  If ya don't hear from me, the tredmill ate me. Oh!  I use a product called Yoga Stack 52, so I can Yoga at home.  It's just a deck of cards with the poses, difficulty, areas they stretch, and a nifty QR code you can scan to see a demonstration.

      Overly emotional language always helps civil discourse. Not.

      I often see people on the political Right claiming that all the wealthy elites are funding the "Radical Left".  But what I see seems to be the opposite.  There seems to be no lack of "big money" funding the Right.  The so called "Radical Left" is completely disorganized.  The "liberal media" (controlled by the wealthy) seems to be committed to presenting "both sides" of everything (including trans issues) whereas the Right makes no such pretense.   It should be noted, that in 1930's Germany the wealthy industrialists had no problem supporting the party (that can't be mentioned here). I have seen very few on the Left (out side of a few on the fringe) supporting an authoritarian regime.  Whereas plenty on the Right seem fine with it - down to many local MAGA folks.  Most of the GOP doesn't seem willing to even commit to accepting an election that they don't win.  Both Gore and Clinton accepted their loss despite having actually won the popular vote.  (it's that pesky electoral college thing)   Some on the Right claim to be oppressed by not being allowed to oppress certain minorities.  And Rightwing authoritarianism is now considered "Patriotism."  Go figure.

      Technically, it's before noon ;)   Uneventful day so far. I have my personal devices limited to 15 mins of screen time a day because I had a C lol, only problem really is the fact I do a lot of my social interaction online because most of my friends are in another state... been a little lonely, I guess? Plus I do a lot of reading and such online, and use my phone for references to draw, so there's a lot I don't have access to. So, just an annoyance now.   Anyways, fixed the C, hopefully I'll have normal things again soon ^-^   My mom's been having me take this herb pill in the mornings that is supposed to help with anxiety/ADHD-type symptoms, but I still have been having about the same amount of trouble focusing and sensory issues, so I guess it's not working haha
