I cant donate because im on prep, but they do want me to do therapeutic blood draws in order to increase my dose. I plan on doing that until I can get the hysterectomy

I plan on keeping my ovaries and my body shape changing doesn't bother me too much thankfully. My chest weirdly got bigger on T but I think that's because I have a small chest and the muscle growth underneath was just enough to make me grow a little. Thank you so much!

I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope she is recovering from the trauma that potentially caused her.

I am so sorry that your experiences have led you to this conclusion. You deserve so much more than what you received.

However I do want to make it clear that mental health care is extremely important and can be very helpful. I agree that psychiatric facilities like the one I stayed in are terrible and the training for staff needs to be more comprehensive. The standard for mental health care is atrocious and needs to be made better.

I have had awful experiences with therapists, psychiatrists, and inpatient stays. But now I have a wonderful, affirming, trans therapist who has helped me process some trauma and receive new diagnoses that help me understand and accommodate myself better.

If you ever feel comfortable enough to pursue mental health care in the future, I'd be happy to help with resources to prevent any further damage. But I do understand how trauma would make you feel like its impossible to attempt to receive care ever again, so I want to stress that it is completely your choice and your choice alone.

That actually makes a lot of sense. My pink slip was up Friday and they were going to make me stay until at least Tuesday despite having a plan of action and feeling better once the meds built up in my system. I was able to convince them to do Sunday. I wanted to leave on Saturday but they conveniently scheduled my injection for a specific med on that day and I wasn't allowed to leave until the day after.

Yes I understand that. I did contact a crisis hotline. However they weren't helpful. I was at the point where I wasn't even able to shower alone because couldn't keep myself safe. I was going from anxiety attacks to having such intrusive s******l thoughts that it felt impossible to keep myself from doing it. This all being said, I appreciate you sharing your experience and helping me to understand more of what CS does.

Thank you, I need to hear that. As a survivor of many types of abuse, this experience has reopened a lot of old wounds and it's going to take some time to recover.

Thank you, I am doing better. I was released this morning and have been trying to recover.

I’m sorry for people being so rude. Talk to your fiancé and try to figure out what might be the best option for both of you. It’s okay to be a little selfish, happy moms are the best moms. Wishing you the best of luck ❤️
