I am just starting to stress a little because I am very impatient. But I do have my patient times. Like wanting to talk to a therapist before deciding on hrt for sure. And now the impatient me.... I emailed the therapist and no response so I called but it was after 4:00 so I am assuming it was too late. But still no response. Now I'm starting to think. And that's a little dangerous. Lol Now my main worry about passing is my hair or lack of it. I know. I know. I've read it's not that important right now. But it is a logical thing to worry about. And not being called back is really getting to me. You make that decision and call, get the machine and actually leave a message and you have to wait. Arg.
Hang in there baby as transition and all of it's components are really a marathon and not a sprint. They will call you back. My therapist called three days after I contacted her by E-Mail. Relax and take a deep breathe, it is kind of essential for life! ;D If you think it is bad to wait for a return call you will go nuts waiting for the HRT letter if that is what you want to do next. ;) Don't stress, you have already made two good steps forward. It will come. :)
I kind of know how you feel.
I spent a while lifetime thinking am I a man? Am I a woman? And when I finally thought I'd figured it out and I was ready to move forward there was all that waiting for appointments and god knows what else.
The first month to the therapy appointment was so long.
The month after that waiting for the endo was longer still.
Then the month after that waiting for blood work to come back so I could start was unbearable.
And I was pretty lucky that it was so short :D.
Maybe try concentrating on what you can do during the waiting time to help with your dysphoria, like your body hair or your eyebrows, kind of let your female self out a bit and see how she likes the fresh air.
It may not seem like it at the moment, but it will all come eventually :)
Omg. More waiting? Lol. That will not be pleasant. But I think I can handle it. Thank you. For your input. It does make me feel better and gives me a look at the direction I'm going.
