trans stuff, medical stuff in #2 

So other than the whole feels trip I’ve talked about yesterday, 2 things are on my mind…

1) So I usually switch my watch over to a trans flag wristband when I’m traveling, and then switch it back to the one that came with it when I get back to home and back to “normal”.

What if I don’t? What if I just keep it on and wear that all the time (to work, with family, etc.)? Most people won’t recognize the pattern, and it’ll be a nice reminder of… myself.

2) I have an appointment with my psychiatrist on Wednesday, just an “every few months check that your medication is good” appointment.

Do I finally come out to her? My fear is that she won’t be supportive and maybe even blame my antidepressants and try to take me off them

but it’s gotta happen sometime if I’m actually gonna live as myself

which I need to do

even if it means finding a new psychiatrist

@Lenalia You can re-research yours and see if they list competencies to match your new needs. Go into that convo with a guess as to how they may respond, maybe even have a replacement half-sorted if that research leads you to think it may not go well.

I've done this before and have some resources if you need. It'll work out and you can do some stuff to prepare for the conversation.

@trysdyn I have some idea of what to look at, but I may poke you for resources in a day or two. Thanks for the advice.

@Lenalia Yeah~ I just wanna make sure you have what you need if I can do something to help you get it. You're good and deserve good things.

@trysdyn Actually, would you mind PM’ing me that list of resources? I feel like it’d be good to have it sooner rather than later.

Like, even if I don’t come out to her during this appointment, I’ll 100% want to have my ducks in a row for the next one.
