What made you unhappy today? 7.0

Oh I am continuing to pester him.  I tend to be overly patient with people but even I am starting to get a short fuse about this one. 

I'm getting to the point where I'm going to look for another shrink so I can relive the joy of explaining to him that wanting SRS and FFS doesn't make me insane.  At least I didn't pay the first one up front.

I got yelled at by a co-worker that has the exact same position as I do (dock assistant, i.e. low level supervisor), for doing exactly what I was supposed to be doing and not helping him, all because he dislikes the fact that I'm younger and slightly less experienced than him and have the same amount of authority. He then sicked our boss on me for walking away instead of decking him. After explaining exactly what happen to our supervisor, he essentially told me to coddle the guy and try to be more diplomatic in the future. Irony is, he praised me for walking away and not laying the guy out in the same breath!

This isn't the first time something like this has occurred. He tends to get all sorts of special treatment because he is friends with the V.P. of operations. He has done many things that would have gotten any one else fired (causing structural damage to the building and driving a fork lift off a dock more than once just to name a couple), but, he's buddies with the ops. V.P. so... yeah.

I don't tend to be a violent person, in fact I tend to be a bit of a doormat, but he happened to stumble across one of the few things that will set me off.

After sleeping on it, if something like what happened yesterday happens again I'm just going to go straight to HR instead of just taking myself out of the situation until I can be calm enough to deal with him.

I made a big mistake at work that costs money. Not much but still, I'm very stressed out.

My work wants to do my taxes for me this year.  Uh, no.  No way.  Heck no!

Why would your work want to do your taxes?  Just curious.

I worked out of the country about four months last year (seven months the year before).  I'm sure it is some complicated way of the company saving money on foreign taxes.

A boy I went to school with was killed by a hit & run drunk driver early last year. The driver got just 3 &1/2 years

That would really make me unhappy too.  Hugs to you.

I never saw myself posting to this topic; but today I'm glad it's here.

I guess it's a couple of things that have got me down today. First, I'm getting my name changed (yay!), but the lawyer is taking more time than I expected to get it done. He hasn't been negligent; I know he's got more than one client, and it's only been a few days longer than I expected. But, still.

What really triggered it, however, or, perhaps, the straw that broke the proverbial camel's back, is the fact that my co-workers are not doing their jobs, I'm having to fix it and the boss doesn't seem to care. He owns several businesses and lets this one run on autopilot – or so it seems to me. It won't do any good to complain, because he never fires anyone; he values a warm body more than whether that warm body can do the job. I'm tired of it.

Finally, I came out to my sister a few months ago. We had been estranged and hadn't spoken or written in more than 10 years. To my surprise, she was very accepting and affirming; and I was thrilled. But I haven't heard from her in nearly two weeks, although I have written her many emails. I feel rejected again.

Sorry. I hate self-pity parties. But there was no one else to tell.

Oversleeping a lot. I know I work a lot but this is ridiculous.

Vent/Not Looking For Suggestions:

Woke up in the afternoon (I work overnights and sleep during the day). See I have unread emails notifying me of various bills are ready and due in a few weeks. Typical morning really no big deal as I set reminders for literally everything as I have issues with memory due to high stress.

Problems started when I read my email from my student loan servicer. My monthly payment went up again this year, it's not supposed to unless I make more during the repayment plan renewal each November. I make the same as last year and my payment increased by like $30 a month. I panic because I make so little, that $30 has to come from somewhere. Probably groceries.

Now though I am a young adult living alone, I make so little at work my parents have to supplement my income. I realize this is a privilege for me, but it's a dual edged sword. They are extremely conservative and closed minded. I am not out to them. If I do something they don't like or don't approve of (coming out to them is the big one), they'd pull their support and I'd effectively would be homeless within a month or two. Because of this fortunate but unfortunate circumstance, I can't come out yet or even start my transition. I was going to start HRT this month but can't risk my parents noticing changes over the next year. So I'm forced to stay in the closet longer than planned because I don't have a job to support myself.

So tldr (sorry I got anxious and ranted) I am unhappy today due to several bills being more than I can afford, being unable to see the doctor I want because insurance is stupid, having to postpone my transition because I'd end up homeless if I started it now, and being stuck in a crap job with an even worse boss where I don't get benefits of any kind and am treated like trash.

I spent all day working on a roof in 20 degree weather. 
the girls were acting up too, the cold made them very sore! I couldn't exactly calm em down either while being around 3 construction guys, one of which is my dad.
I started looking for a new job last night, I really gotta find something soon.

[Christy Lee]

My life its just SOOO BAAADDDDD, and i dont know how to dig out of that whole, and yes i know i made it myself but when life keeps making you feel like crap it makes you want to give up because i feel like its never going to change

I feel so miserable

[Sinead]

I'm having one of those days where I'm feeling more dysphoric than usual... I'm sooo close to resorting to getting hormones privately. But I know I need laser therapy, to learn makeup and buy a full-time wig before then

I've been emailing and calling the patient representative to get an appointment with one of the only trans friendly doctors in my city and surrounding counties. This one is female and the other is male. Despite being ftm I don't trust male doctors at all. Anyway... 2 weeks, 3 emails, 2 phone calls, 3 different people, I still can't get a call back to see if 1. She's taking new patients 2. To even get an appointment in the trans health clinic at all.

Realized that my insurance denies all trans health coverage. And a lot of other potentially discriminatory things for people in need. And of all the health insurance companies available to me, for trans health to be covered, they have the most asinine and backwards requirements for things to be medically necessary to get covered.

Also wondering how I'll be able to afford a name change considering everyone is saying I'm required to have a lawyer. But my state doesn't say I need one for the court date so I'm just annoyed and confused at all this mixed information and lack of communication.

I have no advice about the insurance, but whoever "everyone" is, they're wrong about needing a lawyer for name change if it's anything like Florida. I did get help filling out the initial paperwork at a free seminar put on by a legal aid organization, but after that I did practically everything online except the fingerprinting and court date. I just represented myself.
