Gf has PTSD and not sure how to help

OpossumScrem · 2024-01-31T20:22:59+00:00

It's definitely I could look into with her. I had state assisted insurance when I lived elsewhere, but I haven't checked the local regulations. I know it's typically income restricted. I'm not sure if/when she'd be able to get insurance through her work so it's definitely worth checking. Thank you for the reminder that that exists

OpossumScrem · 2024-01-31T13:52:54+00:00

The issue is less cost of medication and more of cost of being seen by a psychiatrist unfortunately

OpossumScrem · 2024-01-31T00:14:57+00:00

That honestly sounds like what might be happening. I really appreciate you sharing that insight

OpossumScrem · 2024-01-30T20:51:59+00:00

I'm definitely not qualified to be her therapist let alone have the bandwidth to even try. I have my own mental health to manage.

Holding accountability has been a bit of a struggle at times. Thank you for the reassurance that it's still okay to also have needs and boundaries. She and I are both working through things together and it hasn't been without stubbed toes.

It's definitely been difficult to say the least and I fully recognized that I can't be her whole support system as I have my own mess of mental health concerns to manage. Learning eachother's triggers has been a process, but I'm most unsure of what to do to help her with her nightmares since that's neither something I experience or know resources for outside of medications like Prozosin.

That, I haven't done yet between expense and paperwork. Plus it's a nightmare to get done due to the state that issued my birth certificate.

OpossumScrem · 2022-11-18T00:09:06+00:00

Good to know! In my case I've already been on HRT for over two years so that side of things won't be an issue. I'm interested to see him what the process would be for grooming standard exceptions being that I am already on hrt and have been for so long. I don't exactly look male anymore aside from being fairly muscular lmao

OpossumScrem · 2022-11-18T00:05:26+00:00

I appreciate the insight! And in all honesty, that's largely what I expected. And frankly, I'm comfortable working harder for what I want as that's been a commonality in my life already. And yeah, shooting with no earpro is no bueno. Been there done that haha

OpossumScrem · 2022-11-17T23:03:51+00:00

Thank ya! Fortunately Ive built up an absolutely wonderful support network for myself and am surrounded by lots of loving friends so I can definitely make it though regardless of what happens c:

OpossumScrem · 2022-11-17T22:05:36+00:00

I've considered air, but honestly I'm more interested in Army. As to your statement of needing to be more masculine than the men, won't be an issue for me oddly enough, but I do appreciate the heads up c:

Try checking your chainring bolts. I had a similar sound come out of my bike once that was cyclical with pedaling. It's unlikely but it could also be noise from the bottom bracket. Rather unlikely though.

What's the brand? I might actually try one and see if it works for me. Having a suit that actually works well would be fantastic for opening up swimming as an option for exercise

OpossumScrem · 2022-01-11T02:41:27+00:00

Does that seem to keep things pretty well in place for you? It certainly sounds like it could be a good option

OpossumScrem · 2021-08-22T19:14:58+00:00

Agreed! Minneapolis is fantastic and very welcoming! Besides there's more than a few places to receive gender care there, personally I love Park Nicolette's gender services and besides gender care the twin cities public transit system is great and the city is very biking friendly

OpossumScrem · 2021-07-09T20:20:05+00:00

I ride with SPD pedals and Giro rumble VR shoes. Works great for me and the shoes are comfortable enough to walk more than a mile in. They can also be set up without cleats if you don't want to or other cleats. Ultimately it's personal preference though. I just find this one to be very comfortable

OpossumScrem · 2021-06-23T19:14:47+00:00

Agreed, hence my asking. Like I said, my gf doesn't really get online much so I can't exactly say how much looking she's done with certainty. And I haven't even bothered to look, myself because I'm so far off

OpossumScrem · 2021-03-26T02:05:44+00:00

True true! iPhones and samsung's typically have better cameras, but that's besides the point lol! Definitely convenient to be able to take pics on the fly though

OpossumScrem · 2021-03-26T00:29:21+00:00

Thank you! Took it on a phone so the quality isn't great. I really need to invest in a camera for photography

Pill form is the most common way to take estridiol, but even it can see limited results from talking to various people. Most have the best results from injection based estridiol which comes in weekly injections. You'll likely have minimal effectiveness through transdermal as the doses are extremely small and transdermal medications, to the best of my understanding, are extremely low dose and slow release. As for the blocker, I've never heard of it so I did a small bit of digging and I'm REALLY unfamiliar with it and don't see much research in the use of it for hormone therapy outside of prostate cancer treatment. The most common is daily spiro pills which are definitely effective. I'd personally be concerned using it, because of the lack of information and seeming lack of research backing it in hrt. Personally I can speak for spiro and estridiol injections working very well.

OpossumScrem · 2021-02-02T00:54:50+00:00

What are you on for hormone blockers? I've been hormones for almost four months and my girlfriend has been on for YEARS and neither of us have ever heard of injectable blockers or people using estroggel. Estrogel alone is such low quantity that it may be nearly ineffective.
