  Today I start taking what my doctor considers a max dose of Estradiol. I am a happier girl. Perhaps I can get him to prescribe progesterone next. I've been wanting to give it a try.

Hugs,
   Laurie

Congratulations Sweetie! You deserve to be happy. Glad ro see to see your health is allowing it. So cool.

  Hi Denise,

  Omg Yes Denise and that was the 3rd appointment I had been worried about. I shared all three with you ladies here remember? First was my GP and I had decided I had to tell him I had been taking my illegal HRT I had obtained. I didn't want to but I knew it was necessary because I take heart medications. I was so fearful about doing it, After all he was the first non forum person I had come out to. And then it turned out so well with him being understanding and professional about it. But not only that he was qualified to prescribe HRT meds himself and I quit being illegal and started doing things right.
  Then there was my appointment with a psychologist or psychiatrist I don't know which. I had to has a mental assessment before I could be referred to the gender therapist in the beginning of this thread. I shared my fears here again and worried if I would be "trans enough" How many time have we helped others with that one since last January? But you ladies all helped me with that fear and nervousness, bolstering my courage to go to that one too.
  And that brought me to this thread and the whole new cycle of nerves and fear to overcome.
   All that follows from that point in my transition is in this thread. All the highs and the lows of my story with the notable exception of a little Road Trip that deserved a thread of it's very own. After closing the road Tip thread I returned back to this thread to continue with the "Life and Times of Laurie"
   Yes Denise, I remember all the cases of nerves and fears that began my journey and all the ones that have occurred since. I could not have gotten to this point without all the support and help and friendship I've gotten from all of you here at Susan's Place.
   Thank you everyone and thank you Denise for the trip down memory lane.

Hugs,
   Laurie

  Today is a bad day. In fact it is more than a bad day, it stinks. It stinks worse than tripping and falling into a cesspool then getting sprayed by a skunk. If you cannot tell I upset and venting and I don't give a damn what anyone thinks about any damn thing at the moment. and I don't give a damn what anyone thinks about it either. I don't want you sympathy or your condemnation. It wouldn't make one damn bit of difference. I love you all and I hate you all. I'm hated by 2 of the three sisters I have left in this screwed up world. My daughter and her husband hate me and have denounced me hatefully on facebook for all my friends and my family and her friends can see. They of course have had an out pouring of support for the horrible childhood she has suffered at my hands then and since. The poor dear... I'm a racist, a cop hater, and a persecutor of Christians, Not to mention a deviate and pervert for transitioning, I'm An all round wonderfully %^&* dad and waste of flesh. My sister in Colorado is in full support of her "now that she knows the truth" heck maybe she's right. just wtf do i think I am doing?
   I want to be alone, I said it before. I don't really like people. the more you have the worse they are. Individually  they can hurt you. in groups they can crush you. i have people,hate crowds, hate towns and cities. I wish I was alone by myself somewhere physically far from anyone. sometimes I find myself wishing my sister wasn't dependent on my support so I could move. so i can find a shack or cottage  in the woods. All i would need is some food, water, and an internet connection. yeah a freakin internet connection because I'm addicted to it. I can talk to people ,  I could choose who I  want to talk to and get rid of the with ease if I want. I can rave and have opinions and piss jerks off and block them from my life  with  a button. I could stop my meds and live w/o and die in peace if my health fails and I would never again be hurt.

Today has been and is a bad day for me. I want no sympathy from you or anyone. I hurt. I want to drink and get drunk, I want to self medicate with drugs and not feel. I want a good large dose of LSD so I can forget. Forget my family. Forget my daughter. Forget you, forget me, my medications, my HRT, Forget my life. I could wander off away from everything and everyone and die and never feel hurt again. I want to be at peace.

  On the roller coaster of life you will feel that way!
Life is tough! Friends and family! Sometimes family are such a bitch! Your a great woman and have great potential! Find that happy place inside of you! You know! Put you arms way over your head, flick your fingers hard and say your not going to drag me down! I'm where I need to be!
You can't change them you can only show them you are a better person now than you have ever been! Kill them with kindness, soften there hearts over time!
Find that place in your heart and say I forgive dumbasses for not seeing me as a better woman now than the depressed person I was!  You inspire me Laurie!
I'm proud of you! Suck it up cupcake! Things will work out!
Best wish dear!

I am so glad to have found this forum because I am feeling exactly the same way this week, scared,
scared I wont be seen as a boy when I go out in public in my new clothes and hair. Scared when I go to my comic con
on the weekend that people will ask "Are you a boy or a girl?" Or get "M'aa.... sir" Or "Si.... Ma'm"
I am not on Testosterone yet so I want to try to pass as much as I can when I go out.

Anyway I hope the original poster feels better

Hi Lurie,

You are a very good, sensitive and caring person. People that we care about can hurt us very easily, less so for strangers or an acquaintance. When I get that way I just remember how sick I feel and puking and it is enough for me to think twice about self medicating. Hold on, if you can sleep and eat and exercise.

Best,
Rachel
