Back on my feet.

So I am back from my doctors appointment... it was slightly less than productive. The endocrinologist here has a 6 month waiting period but for me it would be a year as what I need is "elective medicine". So needless to say it appears as though I will be going to the neighboring province for treatment. This will cost me at least 500 dollars for the first month then another 500 for every 3 months after until my hormone levels get regulated. However the endocrinologist in the next province will not see me without a refferance letter from a certified councellor which I am working to get now. I had my first session with her yesterday and it went fairly well. I owe my thanks to 
sophiannakatan as she reffered me and without her referral I don't think I would have gotten to see this person as she is booked solid. My next appointment with her is on the 24th at 5:00pm my time. I work that day but will have to get it off.
I am pretty bothered that it looks like it will take at least 6 months to get on HRT as that means I have to wait and have not much to work towards except making money which I will and am doing. Maybe pull a couple extra shifts at work. Fortunately incometax is coming around and I should be getting lots back from that... I really need it.
So that's really it with regards to that, it looks like the process won't be happening until close to when Sultry get's back to me. I have debated on self medicating me but I would prefer going about this the legit way... though I do wonder how dangerous taking the minimal dosage is and wether it would have worthwhile enough effects to bother. I dunno anyway self medicating is dangerous and I am highly unlikely to do it.
I am starting to see why out of all the transgender people on the island only 1 went through with it the others either gave up or moved away...though I just got a plan. There was one transgender person who I can barely tolerate but she was transitioning while on the island before moving... anyway I'm ramblind and writing journals that are far too long.
Thanks for reading and sorry for my last journal I had a lapse in bravery. I couldn't have imagined how hard this would be. but it is something I plan to pursue.
Thank you all again for your support I really do appreciate it.
