Greetings all! It's been a little while since I've been here. I've had training detachments that I had to be on and the like. Fun times, I assure you.
I've been seeing a gender-specialized therapist for the past few months, trying to put two and two together. This last training detachment was especially bad, as I couldn't use any of the coping strategies that I have in my little tool box. After coming back from the detachment, I went to see her and talked about it at length.
The long and the short of it is this: I now have an HRT justification letter in hand. All that needs to happen now is that I need to get to a provider.
This is probably the scariest thing I've done. I have about five years left in the military before I actually can retire with 20 years and a pension. I am well aware of the fact that, once I start this, I will only be able to hide it for two, maybe three years at the most. Any thougts y'all might have would be very welcome. I've missed these boards, and read them quite often. Thank you, dears... and take care
