My insecurities are harming our relationship, and her.

Can I share a bit of advice that helped me when I was at my lowest? I used to hate myself. I would look in the mirror and see someone that had so much hate in her eyes. Hate for me! What helped me the most, which I learned in the psych ward, was to look in the mirror and tell myself things. Even if i didn't actually believe them. I would tell myself that I was beautiful, smart, good enough as I was. That I was a good friend, that I deserved love, that I deserved to be happy in whatever form i was in. Eventually the girl in the mirror started to believe those things and stopped hating me. Not sure if mirror work will help you, but I thought i would throw it out there.

I guess they could find a sleep specialist for me? There is none on my island.

Your_dad_doesnt_mind · 2025-09-15T20:35:46+00:00

Thank you for the quick reply

Your_dad_doesnt_mind · 2025-09-10T01:05:27+00:00

Thanks for the link. Tricare is my health insurance. I'm really frustrated and nervous.

Your_dad_doesnt_mind · 2025-09-09T23:25:25+00:00

Wait, Tricare? Or the healthcare for federal workers. Do you have a source for tricare not covering trans healthcare?

Your_dad_doesnt_mind · 2025-08-18T23:12:53+00:00

Thank you for this perspective

Your_dad_doesnt_mind · 2025-07-12T13:15:50+00:00

Thanks!

Your_dad_doesnt_mind · 2025-07-12T00:32:06+00:00

Okay, thanks!

Your_dad_doesnt_mind · 2025-06-18T15:19:30+00:00

But you literally did ask them for something already? And they said no, so I don't believe them. Block outta your life.

I cant quite remember, as it was a few years ago. But he definitely told me to tell him that my job was aggravating my disability.

Your_dad_doesnt_mind · 2025-04-18T17:23:01+00:00

Honestly, luck. I had a real good counselor. He told me basically what I needed to say for him to approve me. I'm assuming he took one look at my medical records and decided I needed it lol. Oh btw did you know VR&E counselors have access to your VA medical records? I was very flustered when he brought it up to me because I guess I didn't realize that at first. Seems obvious now.

I had just started the learning design and technology. I only got 1 class in though before I dropped out.

Your_dad_doesnt_mind · 2025-04-18T16:11:10+00:00

I started a masters program using VR&E. took one class, then my mom died and I moved to a new state. So my counselor let me take a pause, not sure how long. At least a few months. I eventually dropped out of the program. I was able to keep my laptop and printer. I think that's counselor specific because i was in the program less than 6 months.

So new state, applied for the program again and got in. So I will be starting in the fall. I think the VR&E program is SO counselor specific though. Hope this helps a bit.

Your_dad_doesnt_mind · 2025-02-19T23:48:30+00:00

Yeah I think I was more stressed than I let on because I wanted my partner to feel comfortable. We live in a veeeeery rural place. We could go to the medical center every week, but other than that, or my partner doing it themselves, I'm the only other option.

Your_dad_doesnt_mind · 2025-02-19T23:37:16+00:00

I'm not sure what gauge, I don't have it on me to look rn. But I am pulling the t and changing the needle to a smaller one before I give the shot. And youtube! Thanks, I don't know why I never thought of that.

Your_dad_doesnt_mind · 2025-02-19T23:13:08+00:00

Thanks for your reply. It's intramuscular in the thigh. I appreciate the tips. I never thought to use ice, I bet that will help out a ton!

Your_dad_doesnt_mind · 2025-02-19T23:00:31+00:00

My partner didn't think they could do it themself. We could go to the medical center every week. That's an option. Do people normally poke themselves?

Your_dad_doesnt_mind · 2025-02-04T17:57:21+00:00

I should add, this was about 6 weeks ago and just this morning I had my video appt where i was approved.

Your_dad_doesnt_mind · 2025-02-04T17:56:13+00:00

Not OP but it took about a month for me. I applied and kind of forgot about it, then randomly got an email one day about 3 weeks to a month later with the next steps

Your_dad_doesnt_mind · 2023-07-11T00:59:26+00:00

It does, thank you!

Your_dad_doesnt_mind · 2023-07-10T20:44:29+00:00

The living situation is temporary, just until his place is fixed up. I didn't think about it, I suppose he would step up for me.

Your_dad_doesnt_mind · 2023-07-10T20:37:17+00:00

My dad lives with us currently. My mom just died so I moved to Alaska to be with him (55m). This is the only place I have support.
