Basic FTM Help D:

Alright -- Like Zomzom's thread-- I can't exactly TALK to my mum. I'm currently gathering the courage. Problem is with her being a nurse any justifications I try she's going to brush off and throw out a weird factoid of sorts. Things is -- I told her I was a boy trapped with a female body. But ever since she'd brushed me off. I ended up going to *HER* therapist, and she said the whole "Writing a letter to your parent" thing is a sign of *DEPESSION* and a cry for *ATTENTION* .... Honestly I want to know if maybe I am suffering from dysphoria...? What exactly is it? How do you know without being "examined"? Because I'm at my witts end trying to think of how to tell her and what to say if she rejects everything... overall thinking of HOW to explain "T" and Binders, and Packers.

Also -- Give me your opinion on injectable "T"... Like -- Where can, should, and/or is easiest to inject it? Is rub on "T" better? Also ---- How DOES one talk to their doctor about getting on "T" and such...? I want to be prepared for when I make the first steps into full-on transitions...

All help and advice EXTREMELY appreciated~ <3

well you're unhappy enough to need some answers so where do you live? how old are you? these are things that determine where/when/how soon you can get help.
Of course writing a letter is a cry for attention!  So why don't they read the letter and suggest a way forward! Lotsa therapists about who know ****.

I was told I was under depression and prescribed a medium dosage of Prozac... which I never took due to the fact that I'm ADHD and it would have effected me as it did my sister -- Blacking out and random mobility loss.... Soo yeah -- They never discussed me actually... Just the concept of Me & Depression.
