lol, don't let one idiot spoil your fun.
There's also the reporting thing, if you feel it was innapropriate.

Like I just got ripped off... which is how I always feel after buying tires.

Ativan don`t let some nobody f**k you up,we`re here for you,a hug from me,stay strongx

How was refering to you as an outsider? What was the context of the statement?

I know therapists that work with gender issues, but still can only see binary.
In that sense you would be a gender outlaw, as Larry put it.

I saw my Psychologist yesterday, It went very well, with all of his references to gender correct for me.

Sorry things have to be so hard for you right now,

Ativan

Cheers, Ativan Sorry to hear about the email, there are some right a*sh*les everywhere. Report them.

The therapist was just trying to put me in my place I think. He made a mistake as apart from asking him what motivated him to use such vocabulary I brought the discussion onto Albert Camus and 'L'Étranger' - The Outsider which unfortunately he hadn't read... All he wants to talk about is sex and sexuality which I'm happy to do but I'm damned if I'll discuss gender with such an ignorant person. Going back next week to end it, male counsellors always manage to enrage me.

I have a woman Therapist, she's not afraid to put anyone in their place, but she also considers my gender and how it may be affecting other things.

Everyone!! The Emailer  is not a bad person, it just shook me up to be able to spin me around myself, that fast, that tight.
I need to sort out myself. The Email was not meant to offend.

Thank You all concerned!
Ativan

That's good, the email...

Personally I think women therapists on average are better as they tend to be less authoritarian and patriarchal both of which which I react badly to. Every person I mention in my life this guy keeps asking 'were you partners?'. He's seems obsessed and there's no point talking to someone even crazier than oneself.

Like I have to get away from my computer, take my camera as an excuse, and go for a walk.
I received an upsetting email today, I don't know what to think about being here at Susan's.

I feel great today! I have found that the ignorance of insanity to be, just that.
Also that the ignore button doesn't work as good as I'd like it to. Oh well.

Some what of a character. Like a cartoon, maybe. Like a Jessica Rabbit, "I'm not bad. I'm just drawn this way."

Ativan

Coming down with something, feeling rough as hell.

I'm well. Productive, in crochet if not in homework. Feeling good about my gender and my body.

Tired, idle brained, highly sensitive, confused and quick to tears.
All of these are symptoms of the meds I'm on for my pain related to my surgery. I'm not used to this. Apparently my mom and Cyndi were told that the steroids I was put on to help with healing can do this to me but either it was never mentioned to me or I forgot because I was/am doped to the gills. I'll be happy to get off the pain mess. I don't care for this level of inopperability.

Been there a few times...once was a morphine drip and directly into the IV when ever I wanted.
I don't remember more than a couple hrs of a week in IC.
All that morphine and I don't even remember it.
Now I have a standing prescription for Vicodin, some days are just a little more fun than others, lol...
Take good care of yourself

Ativan

I feel like I'm on the edge of a diving board deciding whether to jump. Keeping a mental log of exciting things and possible changes to bring up with my therapist.

Terrible. I'm not mentally strong enough to work more than 30 hours in a week, I'm pulling down B's, barely, in school, I can't afford hair removal, I'm half a step from homeless. I'm tired.

Sorry to hear that Emma, loved your returning post on the other thread btw

Am feeling good tonight at last, have made a few decisions and started acting on them. Have left the Muslim LGBTQI group I've been with for many years due to their transphobia and racism, am going to dump my supercilious snob of a counsellor on tuesday and have spent a lovely day with my best friend chatting, cooking and eating. She's rekindled my faith in decency, honesty and decisiveness. Stay strong

Oh, thank you. I would be lying if I told you I didn't eat up the sympathy right now. Gotta work at 5 am, I'll be around a while.

if youre struggling you're doing well. You can do it
*hugs*

Hang in there babes,my heart`s breaking for you,but you`re too strong and beautiful not to get through this.Lots of lovexxx.

My sleeping pattern is all screwed up. 4 hrs one night, then 12 the next...it's all over the place.
For no good reason, or even bad one for that matter.
I have to get regular sleep most of the time. I can be off for things now and then.
But, this is just getting stranger and stranger, and it's starting to show.
Wonder if I'm spacing out on my meds, or taking to many. I forget sometimes, no big deal though.
Oh well,...Shopping tomorrow, that should fix things. Love shopping.

Ativan

Feeling positive, off to Sicily on Friday morning for a few days to catch up with old friends. Hopefully will still be warm and sunny.
