I wouldn't be surprised if this person has something he's in denial about, regarding his own sexuality.

More than likely the case!

Medical insurance claim denied.  HRT, everything.  If they think I'm going away without a fight...

Hell yeah, don't give up the fight! That is what they want you to do.

I went through this once before with my Quetiapine. I wasn't about to let these pencil pushing schmucks screw me around. It took probably 4 friggin months to straighten it out. It took all three of my docs writing letters to convince these damn idiots that I actually NEEDED this drug. Luckily, I was able to get by on samples from a nearby clinic (but it was the name brand Seroquel, which always put me in a mental fog for an hour or so each morning. The generics didn't do that to me). It's annoying as hell when pencil pushers screw with what you truly need.

Friggin idiots.

They also pulled the same crap after I changed my gender marker. I had to pay out of pocket for my E. It was only $4 but it was the principle of the thing that pissed me off. Cover it under a male name and male gender marker?

Yes.

Refuse to cover it once I change my gender marker?

No.

Idiots......

well, on saturday night my cat died. all of a sudden. he was not even a year old. he was not the brightest cat, nor the most agile or graceful.. he was incredibly passive and pretty much the best ever. my gf and I would always joke that there must be something wrong with him... apparently there truly was. his breathing was always audible when it was quiet. On the few times I took him to work with me to get them to check it out, his breathing was fine.
on saturday night, he tried to jump up on top of our recliner and he missed the jump. I thought he was just being typical clumsy kevin, but nope... I think he missed because something horrible happened. My vet said he may have had a blood clot or could have been a heart condition. I guess it makes it a bit better.. seeing as there was nothing I could have done.. but it's just so depressing... Nothing could replace him, he was the best little buddy.. 

That's horrible.

It always sucks when a pet dies.

I've been through it a few times and it hurts just as much no matter how many times it happens.

*snif*

I miss all my fuzzy little friends so much.  I don't know if I can ever get myself to find another one.

My deepest sympathies to you.

Hugs, Jill

Haha, I couldn't figure out why that book would make Jamie unhappy, but I'm thinking it must be a response to the unhappiness in the thread. I was very confused.

We are, as a community, incredibly self-critical.  No wonder almost half of us have attempted suicide.

Aww .. I've lost plenty of cats in my life, I know how it feels.

Me to, count me with Mr. Hockey Muffinpants! All our kitties are buried under our apple tree along with two great dogs. They're always like family members and they get the same kind of respect when they check out. Hugs to you lady!

I've lost about 4 cats in my life so far unfortunately. One ran away and never found her, one got out and the dogs next door got to her , one suffered an injury and had to be put down and most recently one had to be put down because she was sick.

It's horrible, really. You get so attached to animals.

This has been the worst ____ing Monday since 9 May 2011, when my partner said she wanted a divorce.

Today I feel unhappy cos my chest is too big... I am definitely top heavy and whatever I do or wear I cant conceal it I just end up looking like the marshmallow man... I will struggle to ever pass as a guy with these things stuck to me   

I wish I could just chop them off and give them to one of you MTFs

So sorry to hear this muffin. I hope that precious dog of yours gives you a hug for me.

I can tell you were scared, it was written all over your face, you were practically hiding under the wig! ((Hugs))

I think I wrote a good story about that day (including things as covering my face with the umbrella, withstanding so much wing the wig nearly came out...)...



Another dream involving SRS.. In which a friend gets it but I am left stuck. If shinks keep making me wait, I may need to look for other shrinks to write the letters. This is going to be expensive.

I've been given until the end of the school year to get my depression "under control" before I'm reeavluated once again for hormones.
Mind you this isn't my therapist's choice, this is the school clinic's idea. But what choice do I have? They're covered by my insurance. Nothing else that provides trans care is and I can't pay out of pocket.

And what does "under control" really mean? The longer I go with nothing happening, the wore the depression gets. The (lack) of logic of some people.

I don't know a polite way, or if it's just downright rude, to dump your doctor because they wouldn't give you what you need.

Didn't get much sleep last night because of schoolwork, Dad is forcing the school to keep my pronouns as she/her, therapist is siding with parents and trying to get me to take everything even slower, binder isn't quite doing it today, plus shark week is probably coming in a few days.

Not to mention I'm going through a bit of autistic regression and talking's getting harder... Plus my family doesn't even recognize my autism so whenever I struggle with it they just think I'm ignoring them or being a jerk.

The one Bojangles I am looking to work at doesn't have an online application and I have to go into the place to fill on out....

The Pizza Hut online application wants to freeze up on me every time I try to apply....

i'm suffering for that too. It's like i managed to build a shield for my aspergers autism and it cracked.
