I’m just trying to summarize my thoughts because I’m dead inside. Just slap the like button or something.

AMAB 37 Sweden. All I want is to " :3 " 😭

My local clinic, where I have my family physician, told me about three weeks ago that they cannot refer me to a gender identity clinic, because they “lack the knowledge. Please ask your psychologist (WHICH I DON’T HAVE?!) to refer you.” So I did something called a self referral (direct translation from Swedish), which entails writing to the specialist (in this case, gender identity) clinic on my own. Three weeks later, today, I received a letter from the specialists saying “we cannot accept and evaluate self referrals, no matter how well written it is, because it often lacks vital information necessary to place you in queue for evaluation. It falls on your local clinic to acquire the necessary information to refer you to us.” Fuck me from every direction, including the fourth dimension. I immediately called my local clinic to book an appointment with their psychologist. On Thursday, over the phone, I’m expected to explain myself, my dysphoria, once again. Tomorrow I’m meeting a person who could potentially become my first new friend in like ten years. I don’t have the emotional capacity to have anxiety over this shit now. 😭🤮

Done. Thx.

    I don’t have dysphoria BUT I do have the pain of explaining my chronic issues to every. Single. New. Doctor. Again. And. Again. And it’s a 50% chance they even believe me (because it’s chronic and basically invisible because I’ve learned how to mask and hide the pain).

    It’s so rough to be tossed around and to have to endure all this pain. But I’m happy you got an appointment for Thursday and tomorrow. Silver lining.

    I want you to :3 in peace too. You will get there!
