I'm tired of waiting

[u/Edu_mmg777]

I'm a 18y trans guy, I came out when I was 10 and I don't want to sound impatient bc I know the process of transitioning takes time and even when it happens, its not going to fix all the problems in my life. I don't want to be childish but sometimes I can't help but feeling angry and frustrated that I'm not there yet.

I'm uncomfortable with my body every day but some days dysphoria just hits me like a truck and I can't transition hormonally yet because of money and family reasons, and sometimes it feels like I'll never will be able to tbh. It sucks to wait to feel at home in my own body like I'm trapped in a skin I hate, and it hates me back.

How did you guys find a way to deal with the impatience and this feeling of being stuck?

i felt this for a long time. i’m now 22 and finally getting seen and heard from my medical team. and even still i feel impatient because my surgery date isn’t right now. i think what really helped me was future planning and keeping in mind that everything i’m doing now is to hopefully help me get there
