As the saying goes, bad things come in 3's, i've had 3 bad things happen so what are the chances that life's going to give me a break?
1: I'm getting made redundant in 3 weeks!
It was optional but for good reasons, my job is severely effecting my health, it's making my excema soo bad that i'm on immno-suppressant tablets & having a blood test every other week in case my kidneys/liver shut down due to the medicine.
I can't justify this severe health risk for a minimum wage job.
Also, since I came out i've gone from having the sun shine out of my rear to not being able to do a thing right no matter how hard I work, many of my workmates agree with me that I would have been made redundant, a couple of the women at work are disgusted with the way i've been treated, if the job wasn't affecting my health then i'd fight tooth & nail but some battles aren't worth fighting.
2: I've had threats online & have had to move into a friends house for safety until it's all clear for me to return home.
I'm not going to go into too many details but one threat was that someone was going to be on the lookout for me to "re-reasign my gender" it ended with the lovely line "watch out i'm behind you".
I don't back down to intimidation but i'm not stupid enough to take the risk, at first the police said it was a hate crime but then after a day they said because i'd responded to a comment from this person previously they considered it an online argument, at no point in that comment was I abusive, rude or threatening but the police don't care.
3: Due to moving away for a few weeks I missed a letter from the GIC, I popped into my place to check mail last friday & found the letter saying my appointment was for monday!! My employer wouldn't give me the time off at such short notice & due to having paid 2 weeks rent earlier that day I didn't have enough money to get to London.
The only ray of sunshine is that the staff at the GIC were very understanding when I explained my situation & even though I hadn't given much notice they havn't recorded it as a did not attend.
I was gutted to find out that the appointment was for the endocrinologist to discuss my HRT. I thought that appointment would come after my second psychiatric session & i'm finding it hard not to be in a bit of a snappy mood right now.
So, after dealing with all this c**p I would like to ask life/karma/god to give me a break, i'm not asking for much just a few weeks without any major disasters jumping out at me.
Sorry about the bellyaching rant but I feel better now that i've taken out my frustrations on my keyboard

Bellyaching is perfectly acceptable here! Hugs, Devlyn
