Struggling with myself


Fernode

Recommended Posts

I told my classmate... So I meet her and she taught me how to use Make-Up. And I also bought an Epilator with my classmate. Hihi, her best friend (she does not know that I am trans), she looked with big eyes if I took that Epilator in our Supermarket. ;)

 

Tomorrow we'll call some Psychiatrists in my town and near my town with hopeing we get a meeting before February.

Welcome to the reality of hair removal.  It is no walk on the beach!  

If you are sharing the epilator make sure you clean it between use to ward against infection.

Thanks :) My therapy starts on August (officially with doctor!). And maybe I'll do HRT this year or beginning of next year! ☺️

I also got new clothes and I planned to shop new one next month with my flatmate (roommate), but I am kinda nervous a bit, to be honest.

I do not do Self-Medication, don't worry. I start therapy on August 23th. And I also have a specialized counseling at our University Clinic on July 10th.

 

Thank you very much,

Riley with ❤️

Hey. Yesterday I went shopping first time for opposite gender. Some people especially the cashier were looking confused. I mostly didn't say anything. But after first time I didn't really had any problems with continue shopping.

 

It feels way better. :)

I also were at our local University Clinic Essen, diagnostic Transgender.

The therapist gave me a list of specialized therapist. ^^ :)

Congratulations on getting out and doing a little shopping.  I'm sure it was a fun experience!   Don't worry about other people but maintain your safety at all times. 

 

Did I miss this, you've selected a new name!   Riley.   Very Nice.

Hello, back in Germany, had a nice vocation in lloret de mar, spain.

 

But recently I got highly bad roller coaster like feelings and I am thinking about to visit the local hospital there, because my current therapist has no meetings within 2-3 weeks. ?

I'm glad you had a nice time.  Are you taking about dizziness or vertigo?  I would certainly have that looked at by your doctor.

Going to Hospital tomorrow. They are trying to get a meeting with an Hormone Doctor ^^ I also got an emergency notification from my local doctor to get a earlier meeting except of march, 2019.

 

Wish me luck. And thank you all. :)

No success. I must wait until March, 2019.

I feel so bad and today I weren't able to do anything... I just slept all day and cried.

 

I don't know how to continue, the feelings are getting more and more stronger.

What should I do now? I can't handle my feelings and sorry to be weird but I more and more get thoughts to cut off my male you know. Don't want to continue. Sorry, what to do now?

 

I really need help ? ?

It was nearly that length of time between my referral for HRT and actually having it prescribed.  Keep the reports going in to your primary doctor and your therapist is one thing to do.

 

The other is simply to do what you can to Transition without the hormones.  They may be very helpful to your, but not a 100% way of dealing with life.  Get dressed and go places as yourself.  Learn and do your make-up and spend free time in your persona doing the things you want to do under the influence of hormones, and when you get there you will be able to do them even better.  Write poetry and books as if you already are your female self, I did that often.  Vicky appears as the author of many short essays on a variety of things long before July 5, 2009 when I took my first pill.  Take each day or even shorter at a time, but it will surprise you how fast they go.  Share your dreams here via stories of how you would like to be (that after all is the purpose of our Blog forum).  So many things can be done.  You can be YOU without the hormones is my message here and I know it is true.

Great advice from Vicky (as usual)!  

This sounds similar to how it is in the UK where I've read you (generally) need to be in RLE for a year before they will issue a script for HRT.   I was full time prior to getting on HRT.  It can be done!  Take the time to learn and practice the skills you'll need to make it as a women in the world.  You can learn a lot just by looking around.

      Good morning    On this date in 1972 it was a Saturday. I  made a pledge to love and honor my wife and keep her forsaking all others.  I have kept those vows and here we are celebrating our 52nd anniversary still together.  Still caring for each other through sickness and in health.  Still sharing our lives.   Other than that, it’s another day near the beach.  80 and mostly sunny.     I found a ‘17 GMC Acadia yesterday I want to take a look at.  It’s a bit more than I wanted to spend but it’s doable. Only 69k miles on it, with the low mileage I put on cars these days it probably won’t ever hit 100k if I do beget it.  Low mileage now is  likely because it was a leased car at some point. Those usually get pretty good care and not a lot of miles.  It would be similar in size to my Ford, 7 passenger seating but a more basic trim which is fine.  It only has a 4 cyl engine so potentially rather under powered for a relatively large SUV.  The ford has a 4.0liter 6 which is a bit large for cars these days.  Instead of full time all wheel drive, it apparently has 4 modes, 2, 4, sport (what ever that is, I presume it’s over drive turned off) and anti slip.  It’s probably not going to happen but I am keeping my eyes open for a good deal. The old Ford is just that, an old worn out Ford.  Since I bought the Ford I’ve only put about 10k miles on it in 6 years.  My daughter once had an Acadia, top trim package.  When she was driving back and forth to work close to 100 miles per day and going to Philadelphia every week another 500 or more.  For her the miles added up fast.   still keeping my eyes open.  This is about the right age and size but I was hoping to spend about $2000 less.   Other than that I hope to meet with my minister today about paper topics for my class submission.   Other than that Monday is laundry day so I’ll be doing several loads of laundry today.     I put on a neutral gel nail polish last night.  I tried this before, however, I don’t believe I correctly understood the how to get a good result so I was more careful this time.  All I want it’s to give my bpfinger nails enough strength to grow out just a little and stop tearing.   Well, I need to call to make an urology appointment.   @Birdiei was born in Ohio and until Lamda Legal sued them you could not get a sex change on a birth certificate for any reason.  Now you can.  In South Carolina a name change requires $300 and a form filled out and filed with the clerk of courts.  But a gender change requires a birth certificate with the new gender listed.  I am hoping they will permit gender X eventually but right now the state is too Red to do any such thing.   Willow

      I have the problem, that I see myself at 3 maybe 4 on the list. I don't have the self love that I should have.   What does it mean to you?   Kymmie

      Seems the stuffy day-centre has swapped out Psychiatric Services and therapy to the local BSA hospital. BSA works closely with the local university and is much more gender accepting than the day-centre. The day-centre's psychiatrist wanted to treat me for gender dysphoria by correcting it. 🙄   I logged into MyChart app at the hospital and updated my preferred name (Birdie) and preferred gender marker for them to use.  I'll try and get a referral for gender therapy at the hospital as well.    Nevada is my place of birth and I found out changing the gender marker on my birth certificate there only requires a letter from a licensed therapist, but a name change still requires a court order.    Changing the gender marker to female would at least be one step in the right direction, then I could renew my ID to state female instead.

      Well today by attention wise was downright horrible. My legs can't stay still, can't focus on a project, my mind wanders around a lot, constantly fidgeting, easily distracted, couldn't even tell you what the sermon was about but there was vine on the altar and attention to detail sucks. I have read that it is possible to have BPD and ADHD. My mind even wanders during prayer. If I have both I won't be able to take Adderall because it makes my BPD symptoms worse. I keep having side effects that come up from my 3 traumatic brain injuries.

      If it wasn't so *EVIL*, I would have to laugh.  Everyone knows that trans women in particular have such an overwhelming superiority in poetry that the competition would be unfair if they were allowed to enter.  You can't make this stuff up!   Seriously, sorry for making light of it.  But it is only by highlighting the utter absurdity of this kind of crap, whether it occurs in Russia or Florida, that I am able to hang on to any shred of sanity.

      I used to fully agree with this statement, that is, until the first lockdown   Everyone I knew around me was affected by the pandemic. they couldn't work. they couldn't see their friends. they felt bored/ frustrated they couldn't get out of the house   and then there was me who welcomed it, because for once in my life, I didn't feel like a loser- and after lockdown, when everyone looked forward to going back to work or going out, well.. I had nothing- and I felt that no, I wasn't normal because I didn't have a life to get back to
