What made you unhappy today? v3.0

[Lauren5]

I don't like to give specific advice, but it sounds like you know what you need to do! You need help with therapy and HRT and either you tell your family or, if you don't think that will work out well, you need to get that help on your own. The LGBT center must have those resources?

I'm waiting on some time to call the two therapists I was referred to, and waiting on my psychiatrist to send a referral to the doctor on campus that deals with trans students. The former I plan on doing tomorrow, along with the referral for the ADHD testing I was given (and the 5 clinics referred to.) Also, I wanted to check out the place that does laser that a friend told me about (fortunately, free consultations, I can't even afford one treatment right now, let alone the 5 or 6 required for full hair removal.) And I have all those meetings now, one seeing if I can have the professorial assistantship (making $1250 a semestre, 8-10 hours worked a week, and I get to choose where I want to go and what hours I want,) a meeting with the College of Arts and Letters to find out what "experience architecture" is, and then a meeting with the Department of Geography to see about a minor in GIS, whatever that is.
Looks like another busy week.

I'm sure it seems overwhelming, but it sounds like you have it really well in hand! Be strong! Good luck!

GIS must be Gender Identity Studies .... or some geology thing.

It's in my hands, but I am unable to touch it. That's what it feels like.
I think it's Geographical Information Systems, but I'm not sure. I may like to take a gender studies class, I'll see about adding that too.

[Jamie D]

I'm told I can't have a job while I'm at school. Without a job, I don't have money. Without money, I can't finance the start beginning transition. When I can't begin transition, my depression worsens. When my depression worsens I start to do poorly academically. When I do poorly academically, I get depressed all over again and fail out of school. I Don't want to do that. Getting a job solves all that but dad doesn't understand. He can't understand yet. How should I tell him? Should I go behind his back and get a job anyways? I'm so lost and confused.

You need to break the circle somewhere.  Personally, I encouraged my kids to have extracurricular activities.  Some played sports, some worked, some volunteered.  Actually, depending on the season, they all did all of those things.

I hope it all works out Willow.

My father didn't answer a couple of questions I had about driving.  He said those were sarcastic and dumb questinos and that if I didn't know the answer to them, then I shouldn't be driving.  It made me feel stupid and not want to drive even more. :/

*HUGS* I'm sorry your dad is being so difficult.

I taught all four of my kids to drive - my wife couldn't handle the stress!!

I will be glad to answer your questions.

Yeah, dad says I should be studying, sleeping, eating, or in class. Haven't told him about all the clubs I'm in and the necessity of a job I need.

As you probably are too, I'm incredibly anxious and can't wait to start, the sooner the better. I believe you probably have he exact same feeling.

If it helps, you can ask me. Hell, I even know it's legal to drive a tractor on an interstate highway in Florida without a license (because I got the question wrong )

That was an unfair question!

I learned how to drive on a tractor at the age of 12.

It was, it was stupid, completely irrelevant to car driving (I got another one about semis and what lights I need to put on them) and overall a stupid law (or lack thereof) in the first place.

Last night my mom gave me some testosterone cream and said if I use it every day it will cure me..... I'm not going to use the stuff ever. About that we'll support you no matter what thing, can't help but notice the support I get is to not transition or tell anyone so people aren't inconvienced.... I understand not wanting things to change but dang how about some compassion to see how would it feel if you were in my shoes.

At least today is a new day and some good things should happen this evening so I have something positive to look forward too.

[Lauren5]

That's unfortunate, Meg. It really sounded like your parents had your back before. Wonder if they are just confused. Best of luck to deal with them.

[Xhianil]

Feel like I'm going to throw up... Got a hour of very broken sleep... Have a migraine...  The list goes on...

That stuff is expensive, right? Sell it. As for your mom, she's dumb if she thinks you'll be "cured".

[Joe.]

- I'm slowly swimming out of my depth.

- Trying to figure out what to do is making me feel like I have to leave here.

- I feel lousy.

[Amelia Pond]

• Not getting enough sleep.
• Waking up with a severe headache.
• Telling my wife that I want a divorce for the second/final time.

[Lauren5]

What's up with all the girls wearing Hunter rainboots? And how do they afford a pair of $125 shoes? How can I get some of those for less, a lot less; they're cute.

[King Malachite]

*HUGS* I'm sorry your dad is being so difficult.

-hugs-  Thanks Amelia.    I just wish he would actually take the time to listen to me instead of criticizing me for once instead of acting like Mr. "I know everything and you know nothing."


@ Jamie D and Willow I asked him what does a road sign mean when it's looks like a sideways capital T ( Kind of like l- ) and is it illegal to always keep your high beams on?

My father makes me feel like an idiot and that it's wrong to ask questions.  He never answers any of them and he told me that he didn't want to hear another word from me and to keep driving.  I just wish he was more caring.
