Title: My May update
Post by: SailorMars1994 on May 25, 2017, 05:27:47 PM
Hey all. Its me again going to babble on about my life and progress.. and what great progress it has been :D!!

I havent had a mental break down since April 5th. Thats right, not a single break down. I have also up my anty on transition. I am finding I am feeling more connected to the real me then ever. This includes the pretty good three months i had prior to my mid April 2016 break down. I have noticed, and other too i am projecting some real good positve and feminine vibes to which i havent outwardly done before. All those tears i had shed before has turned into sweat. I now work two jobs with a third on the way. My newest job is majority female and I have had many shifts where it is just us girls and its good times :) I met this girl there, shes new and she is very friendly.. she totally made it clear that she accepts me as a girl and we are going to be hanging soon!

Our house still hasnt sold yet :/. but i am taking a bigger look at education. Without a doubt im going to be a blue collar girl and get into a trade. I have thought about being a chef too as I got loads of time in kitchens, but i also thought of pipe fitting and plumbing. Also, with this whole ''your a man'' voice basically gone I can pursue other intrests.. I have recently been getting a big itch to do gardening and do volunteer work for animals (i love the puppers and kit kats and ect) . I also got double the amount of E by my dr for the pat two weeks or so and am already feeling more comforatable mentally.

Just good things, i havent felt this calm, cool and collected ever. Thank you estrogen and a sound mind :D

Hi Ashley,

Sounds really cool and it's good to hear things are still going well for you. You sound busy too all that energey you had bouncing off the walls before are now being channeled into good positive activities.
  Glad you are doing so well girl.

Hugs,
   Laurie

Thanks girls!!

Yes it has been one heck of a ride, but I can say without a doubt that my life is on the upswing :), i am likely to get this thrid job but it is a call-in cook for the military kitchen basis so I wont be totally burning myself out. It will feel nice to serve those who serve us :). I dont know if i said it already but the people at my new job are taking a liking to me, with many of them saying i am a quicker learning and good worker already :D!!

Ohh, I feel so much better today then i did 3 months ago...let alone the end of last year :O

Love you all <3
