Well now the jitter start.as soon as they get it they're going to let me know when they're going to forward my meds to my local pharmacy.. I got the consent form around noon and mailed it out like 12:20 ..Sometimes I get overly excited and say things that are just on my mind. Sometimes I just need a friend that's going to say it'll be okay.

I got an email from my provider it seems they didn't receive my consent form from two weeks ago. They're sending another one out for signature. I'm starting to feel is it really worth me transitioning?I mean has anybody ever started hormones and just stop because they didn't feel like going through the hassle. I just haven't been feeling too female lately and haven't dressed an over two and a half weeks.

Please don't give up, Denise.  Many, many of us have had setbacks along the way.  We've learned to be persistent, patient and to persevere, and you must also.  This small bump in the track won't derail your train.

I can say that too, and I am 11 years into transitioning.  My only difference is I have nothing left that did not come from a women's department, but it is not glamours by any means.  I remember the time I spent doing and re-doing paperwork and it  was a downer and one helluva roller-coaster ride but, as @Carolyn Marie said, Trans people are highly resilient and make it through very rough stuff.  Hang in there and roll with it and you will get the job done.

@Denisenj I'm sorry to read this but don't despair.  I had a similar experience when I started HRT as my therapist was in one state and my endocrinologist was in another.  It is frustrating but it will be resolved, and after all these years I can honestly say the extra month (yes Month!) really didn't make much of a difference in the long run.

 

As to not feeling to feminine?  Yes!  me too.  It happens so again don't despair.  It doesn't mean you shouldn't continue on your journey.  Even after being full time I would ask myself if it was worth the effort.  Like anything in life, it has its ups and downs.  I'm sure you didn't expect a bed of roses.  (don't forget those thorns!)  

 

I'm glad you checked in and vented a little.  Thats why we're here.  To offer support when things seem to go sideways.  


Hugs, Jani

Hi again, sorry to hear about your delay! Dont let it get you down, we all suffer setbacks in life whether its transitioning, work, our lovelives or whatever. No one can tell you if transitioning is right for you, the only one that can do that is you. Listen to your heart hon, you may not feel feminine today or tommorrow, but ask yourself the bigger question. Is she always there, waiting to come out? Its not an easy road, there will always be ups and downs whether your male, female or somewhere inbetween. Its how we face those challenges that says the most about us.

Hugs Traci Lynn

(Just thought about it, why do Alot of us use first and middle names. Because males dont?)

      What is relaxation to you? Nature? Movie? Reading? Cuddling with a pet? Music?

      AMUSEMENT The feeling when you encounter something silly, ironic, witty, or absurd, which makes you laugh. You have the urge to be playful and share the joke with others. Similar words: Mirth Amusement is the emotional reaction to humor. This can be something that is intended to be humorous, like when someone tells a good joke or when a friend dresses up in a ridiculous costume. But it can also be something that you find funny that was not intended to be humorous, like when you read a sign with a spelling error that turns it into an ironic pun. For millennia, philosophers and scholars have been attempting to explain what exactly it is that makes something funny. This has led to several different theories. Nowadays, the most widely accepted one is the Incongruity Theory, which states that something is amusing if it violates our standards of how things are supposed to be. For example, Charlie Chaplin-style slapstick is funny because it violates our norms of competence and proper conduct, while Monty Python-style absurdity is funny because it violates reason and logic. However, not every standard or norm violation is necessarily funny. Violations can also evoke confusion, indignation, or shock. An important condition for amusement is that there is a certain psychological distance to the violation. One of the ways to achieve this is captured by the statement ‘comedy is tragedy plus time’. A dreadful mistake today may become a funny story a year from now. But it can also be distant in other ways, for instance, because it happened to someone you do not know, or because it happens in fiction instead of in real life. Amusement also needs a safe and relaxed environment: people who are relaxed and among friends are much more likely to feel amused by something. A violation and sufficient psychological distance are the basic ingredients for amusement, but what any one person find funny will depend on their taste and sense of humor. There are dozens of ‘humor genres’, such as observational comedy, deadpan, toilet humor, and black comedy. Amusement is contagious: in groups, people are more prone to be amused and express their amusement more overtly. People are more likely to share amusement when they are with friends or like-minded people. For these reasons, amusement is often considered a social emotion. It encourages people to engage in social interactions and it promotes social bonding. Many people consider amusement to be good for the body and the soul. By the end of the 20th century, humor and laughter were considered important for mental and physical health, even by psychoneuroimmunology researchers who suggested that emotions influenced immunity. This precipitated the ‘humor and health movement’ among health care providers who believed that humor and laughter help speed recovery, including in patients suffering from cancer1). However, the evidence for health benefits of humor and laughter is less conclusive than commonly believed2. Amusement is a frequent target of regulation: we down-regulate it by shifting our attention to avoid inappropriate laughter, or up-regulate it by focusing on a humorous aspect of a negative situation. Interestingly, amusement that is purposefully up-regulated has been found to have the same beneficial physical and psychological effects as the naturally experienced emotion. Amusement has a few clear expressions that emerge depending on the intensity of the emotion. When people are mildly amused, they tend to smile or chuckle. When amusement intensifies, people laugh out loud and tilt or bob their head. The most extreme bouts of amusement may be accompanied by uncontrollable laughter, tears, and rolling on the floor. Most cultures welcome and endorse amusement. Many people even consider a ‘good sense of humor’ as one of the most desirable characteristics in a partner. At the same time, most cultures have (implicit) rules about what is the right time and place for amusement. For example, displays of amusement may be deemed inappropriate in situations that demand seriousness or solemness, such as at work or during religious rituals.

      Love it! This is great news. We need more of this to combat the excessive hate-filled rhetoric and misinformation. 👍

      The experience was the same for me @April Marie. I slept much deeper and I woke up each morning feeling so much more restful sleeping with forms solidly in place. For me, wearing breast forms at night started when before I was a teenager. I had no access up to modern breast forms and certainly no way to buy mastectomy bras back then. I wore a basic bra my mom had put in a donation box and two pairs of soft cotton socks. I have some crazy memories of things I did in my youth to combat my GD but regardless, these makeshift concoctions helped me work through it all.   All My Best, Susan R🌷

      Colorado isn't exactly a Republican place, and won't become one anytime soon.  I think those folks might be better off not spending their time playing Don Quixote.    We certainly have our share of California "refugees" moving into where I live, so I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing Coloradans too.  I suspect the trend over the next few years will see the blue areas getting more blue and the red areas getting more red as anybody who can relocate tries to find a place where they fit better.

      Well, at least it'll be a place some folks could choose.  Options are a good thing.
