Talk about last minute saves...I was facing being forced out onto the streets and losing everything - or losing everything and sleeping on the floor in the storage room at my mother's place for a few...

I had found a place where I was INVITED to set up a place of my own to live in, but once I DID, I got asked to REMOVE it, leaving me homeless.So, now I am scrambling to find someplace I can afford to...

OK, I just got back from talking with Dr. Israel for the second time, and today things went better. She still has not gotten in touch with my other therapist, but says she will do so before our next...

Tomorrow I have my second session with the therapist the VA has insisted I see - not the one I've been seeing for over a year now. Last time, she hadn't even bothered to open my file to read up on...

Having seen the Va's gender specialist, I have to say this: I am not confident in this person. My first visit to her, and she already has started pushing for me to only "see" her via online live...

Ok, so trying to establish or rebuild credit on such a limited budget is nigh impossible. But there are other ways to have a place of my own. I'm going to give something a shot, and see how it...

So, I have been wanting to get a place of my own - not to rent, been renting - but a place to buy. I have very limited funds, being unemployed, but I do get a bit every month from the VA for my...

Meanwhile, my older sister - who is admittedly uncomfortable around me now - has been emailing me occasional job listings. None of them ever has anything to do with anything I have ever done, ever...
-
I emailed her, and her reply was to bump up the date of our next meeting - to Valentine's Day. LOL.I also did something else - along the lines of improving my chances at landing a job - I took a...

Ok, I had my appointment with my gender therapist this month - and couldn't bring myself to broach the subject of needing to have that final surgery done. Truth be told, she wanted to discuss my...

Well, I am glad I elected to avoid the family gatherings this time - it made everything a lot less stressful on me. I got to enjoy things on my own, so it went well. I didn't get depressed as I...
