What made you unhappy today? 5.0

[Emily.T]

Yuk, nasty people...hate them too even though I havent had things hurled at me for well a very long time..I wonder if people think I pass or just dont feel like saying it directly to me. I think the latter

Are you not allowed to talk with your daughter about your gender identity or just in general. I can understand it a little if she worries about the first, even if its usually harmless

Hope you have a good weekend to make up for it

My xwife is using my daughter as a tool to make me miserable she knows that I enjoy chatting with her and that both my daughters support my transition which annoys her even more I am just being punished for my so called life choices.  What's a girl supposed to do

I bought some underwear in my normal size but it's way too small.. Not because I gained any weight, it was just different sizing for that brand.

I broke my brother-in-law's 3 in 1 car charger so I had to buy him another one.  $2.67 out of my pocket -sigh-

I should have just taken the bus home (sister took me home)

I failed my CDL driving test. I re-test on tuesday, so long as I have $100 to do it. I've kept up my nonchalant appearance but inside I am heartbroken.

UPDATE!

JUSTICE PREVIELS!
So after I got off the phone and typed this post up, I decided to call the place back and ask someone else to transfer me to and give me a number to their complaint department. Sure enough, the super visor HAD lied to me. So I called that number and spoke to an employee there who since he couldn't do anything, I spoke to his super visor and she was very kind, apologized for what had happened and documented and such the incident and assured me two time she would make sure this got to her superior and that my complaint wouldn't go unheard and that they would contact the super visor who was SOO disrespectful to me and all for what? Over my preference of asking not to be called a pronoun but by my "legal" name? No effort at all from the jerk. Boy and this was just my legal name. (which is disrespectful to me anyway but, I'd rather not have to explain I'm trans to them)

I'm still proud of you. <3 It sounds like you just have major test anxiety, since you absolutely aced your classes. Maybe you could talk to your instructor about it and see if they have any tips?

I just learned the term "gaslighting" from Edge. That's a useful word that fortunately doesn't describe anything I deal with in my life right now, but the behavior it describes is one I'm familiar with and I hate that anybody is dealing with it.

What made me unhappy today was my roommate being in a bad mood. He got over whatever it was and seemed fine before he went to bed, but the time he was sullen and snippy really got to my daughter. Anytime anyone has visible feelings she believes she caused them. I couldn't convince her that his moodiness was probably related to his own life or that it's okay to not try to make him feel better. She tried to cheer him up by telling him about how her praying mantis ate a cricket and then she hid in her room when he didn't care.

My dad telling me "f___ y__"  at me after I was upset about him yelling at some other driver on the road.

A nice double punch of insomnia and, when I finally got to sleep, waking up twice with nightmares. Yeah...not fun.

TW: top surgery; cancer

Forgot to mention this the other day: I've got hypertrophic scars from my top surgery, and when I went to get my latest hormone shot from the nurse she tried to offer me some helpful advice for dealing with the scars, which was nice of her. She suggested a couple of things I've already tried... but it was the way she talked about it that upset me.

She said she was offering these suggestions because she has a friend who 'also had a mastectomy'.

Um.

Please don't use the word 'mastectomy' with a trans guy; it can be very triggering. Particularly with a trans guy whose mother died from breast cancer after having had two actual mastectomies. Yes, I know that 'mastectomy' is the correct medical term for that particular procedure, but I don't want to be reminded about what used to be on my chest and why I had to undergo this procedure. Nor do I want those sad memories of my mother to be triggered by thinking about the probable reason why your friend 'also had a mastectomy'.

It's top surgery. Or chest surgery. Or heck, just surgery. But please, don't refer to it as a mastectomy.

I received a few compliments anonymously lately and well while I appreciate what they were trying to do, all I could think of was "no don't waste that compliment on me, give it to someone who deserves it." I just seem to not be able to take compliments. While I do not know if it was all the same person or a couple of people or a different person each time but yeah I just can't seem yo accept compliments good intentions aside. I tend to just feel guilty over not being able to accept them and also feeling that I am not anything like "cute, cutie, mega cutie or beautiful" and that I am taking a compliment away from someone who is and deserves it. I know I am being silly but that is kind of who I have always been, unable to take compliments and not believing in myself.

I know how you feel. I'm the same way when people compliment me. :/

I failed my CDL driving test.

Airbrake portion? If so don't feel alone. I passed it on try two myself.

Not much fun is it?

I'm sorry man, both about your mom and about her choice of word. For me, mastectomy just sounds female, but I don't know if that's only how I feel or what. I forget what my surgeon calls the procedure, he doesn't use top surgery but he uses the term bilateral something or other.

Depression.

There are so many things to be grateful for and about, and some make me happy (including recently) but, this damned depression is bad.. it, isn't easy.. (Thank God for music and conversations with friends online, helps some)

I just wish this depression would leave me alone for good. It's already affecting my will to do stuff..

Thanks Birkin. I feel the same way about the word. My surgeon and the GIC have been very considerate about not using the term, but the nurse kinda blundered into it. Bleh.
