So I applied to the Trevor Project over the weekend. Haven’t heard anything yet but it’s only been 2 days.  Hoping I can get back into something I can be truly passionate about again.

@JustineM, That would be so wonderful if you could be offered an opportunity to work with them. I think you would be perfect for that organization. Keep us updated. They really do some important work for the community especially now when the younger community needs them now more than ever.

 

Best of Luck,

Susan R🌷

Thats great! I have noticed that I am still so passionate about so many of things I was prior to transition. I am the same person just a better healthier version! That is so difficult for people to accept and understand.

I mentioned in an earlier post that I used to work EMS, well in therapy today I talked about how I was still having nightmares about a couple of the calls. Felt scary but good to get it out there. Long story short, I’ve been unofficially diagnosed with PTSD. I really hope I can move on and lay these nightmares to rest.

That's good news Justine,

My thoughts on the PTSD issues I face, is a lot like grieving for a lost family member. You don't get over it, it doesn't go away. You learn to get through it. I made my first therapist cry when I answered her question. What's the worst call you've been on, and what keeps you up at night? So we relived that event, we both cried, and she recommended another counselor, and never seen me again. I'm at a point now where I have a PTSD therapist, and a gender therapist who have my approval to talk about me to one another. They really are helping. I hope you find the same reassurance as you move forward.

 

Hugs,

I am sorry to hear this! I was recently diagnosed with PTSD. My diagnosis came from being an RN in the COVID icu at my hospital for the past 2 years. 
 

We don’t think of the events we are experiencing as causing long term effects until all is said and done.

Well that is no longer an unofficial diagnosis. Went through the assessment with my therapist last week and I’ve been officially diagnosed with PTSD. I guess I’ve kinda known in the back of my mind but to have the official word is kinda scary but relieving. 
 

On a brighter, happier note in that same appointment… drum roll please, I got my letter for my name change. All I need to do now is scam… I mean come up with the money so I can file the paperwork! The plan is before the end of the year to legally be Justine Karla.

Also not trying to brag… but my sisters are absolutely AMAZING! I have so incredibly lucky and blessed in my journey so far. Nearly my entire family has supported me.

      I have shared my doses and levels a lot and no one has said anything. Yeah I put alarms on my phone to make sure I don't miss a dose. I tend to forget a lot of stuff on what needs to be done. I have been also using the calendar on my phone a lot. I missed an appointment because I didn't put it in my calendar.

      Feeling better than I did yesterday

      It's official. My doctor wants me retested after the last results (too high). The test, that she scheduled, was likely too close to the dose. She did tell me to keep the increased dose instead of reverting to my old one, probably because my "too high" wasn't that high. I don't know what the forum's stance is on results, knowing full well the rules against sharing dosage, so I'll keep those under wraps until I know if it's OK to share those. Less to say, it was over the range she feels comfortable with by about 50%, but taken a day earlier than the midpoint value she was expecting. Grains of salt everywhere!   Of course I messed everything up too, missing my dose for the first time, yesterday. I had to re-reschedule the lab I setup yesterday to Monday from Saturday after taking my shot this morning to avoid the same issue with the testing. I woke up and thought, "Thursday, what do I have to do for work today? OH -crap-, IT'S THURSDAY! I missed my shot yesterday!"   Anyhoo. Question for the ladies: does anyone else get a mild zen-like high after their shots/doses? My brain feels lighter and I'm happier and I feel a lot more girlie this morning. 💃

      I'm into my fourth month of HRT and just titrated up in dosage after my last checkup. This is my life. 🤭   I have yet to grow out of my B cup bras, but I have noticed more fullness, having started with gynecomastia. I am seeing less gapping in bras with my right breast, which has always been smaller than my left. My areolae are slightly pronounced/projected now, that are larger but not vastly greater in circumference, and I have noticed little to no nipple changes beyond their painful sensitivity.

      -It's not a sprint it's an endurance.  -It won't happen overnight. -Seek a gender therapist. -You might lose a lot of support but hang in there. If they truly loved and cared about you they would stay. -Retail therapy helps and plus it builds your wardrobe and shoes. -Makeup is an artwork. It takes lots of practice to do it right and watch YouTube videos on how to put it on or someone who is knowledgeable. -You are going to have roller coaster emotions so don't rush anything.

      You have grown more breast tissue than most some only get one size and that is it. I went from 42C to 42DD but I'm also taking supplements. It's risky to take the supplements but to me it's worth the risk.

      I'd echo some of the advice in Imma Asher's letter in the book To My Trans Sisters:   Take your time.  See yourself. Be proud.  Be strong. Indulge in the transformation.  Read more.  Put down the brow pencil.  Live.  And be happy.

      I hope that there is some kind of justice. It's very sad and it doesn't even mention the family and I could only imagine how they feel.
