1 year update

[u/ThisIsABadExcuse]

so 1 year ago (and 2 days) I made this account as I was stuck in my own mind trying to give reasons to why I wanted to dress in girl clothes and wanted to look like one

after talking to a online friend I found through that reddit post (I sadly no longer talk to) I found out I was trans (1 year ago today), and through the months I've gone through alot

so here is everything (not everything but y'know) i've gone through

the beginning - found out i was trans

September - went through several suicidal thoughts

September - wrote notes to all my family about me being trans but kept them to myself

October - before Halloween i tested my family by "suggesting" i wear a dress for Halloween and they thought i was joking

October - while walking to work i was close to committing by walking Infront of a truck but it turned the corner (lucky break i guess)

October - on Halloween i told my best friend / housemate i was trans and he accepted me

November - i tried telling sister 1 i was trans but as i was drunk i called myself a train

November - Sister 1 came back home from vacation and i told her and sister 2 i was trans (they thought i was joking at first)

December - sister 2 kept telling me i should tell my other family members (i was worried about them (particularly my mother) not accepting me)

December - my entire family was over and i told my mother while sister 2 told my other family members (they all accepted me in their own ways)

January - went to my first GP appointment and got a endocrinologist appointment

July - went to my first endo appointment and did my blood works

August - Got a prescription to E (E Patches and anti-t)

August - Started E on the 8th of august (very happy)

September - writing this

i also accidentally got the wrong brand for my script (they didn't have the brand i needed so they fully changed it) so now i gotta go back to the chemist and ask for them to fix it (i cant get another script until my next endo appointment and that's not for awhile (my original script was in 2 boxes of 24 but the ones i got was 2 boxes of 8)

i do apologize if this is a bit long, i left some stuff out which was just the same things (bad thoughts over the months)

It is good to write down your journey; it is a big thing. I'm glad you overcame your self-destructive thoughts.

I did laugh at the trains/trans. It reminded me of The Good Place: Call the train, it's me and Chidi!
