Title: extreme anxiety, sleeplessness and depression
Post by: Erin Kay Howell on June 23, 2013, 11:53:54 AM
I have 8 days remaining until I see my endocrinologist and im freaking out.

What if he denies me the hrt?

I havent eaten in a few days and I cant sleep because if this. I didnt think id really have an issue but its getting bad.

This is just a mini vent, however im curious if anyone else is going through this. Or knows if I can be denied.

Big hug! I don't see why you would be denied. On the off chance it happens, we'll get you another endo! Meanwhile, you have eight days to kill, wanna play Monopoly?  Hugs, Devlyn

They will probably give you the hormones but you need to either eat or start drinking resources until you go see the doctor in the morning. Resources are like boost drinks or ensure so you at least get some nutrients. Gadda eat hun. That's a bad habit to start and that's something that will haunt your transition

It's a big deal to go to the endocrinologist for the first time.  It's normal to have some anxiety.  Just don't destroy yourself over it and make sure you eat.  Everything will be okay once you go.  The fears are common but often illusory.
