I have the script in hand and now have to do the family talk. Plus I had my first weird uncomfortable interaction.
It's been an up and down battle in my head these last couple of weeks. Everything seems to be going at light speed.
I was waiting to pick up my estrogen injections at the pharmacy when they told me they needed to consult with me first.
Im sitting there in a crowded area when they decided to ask me about the meds and if ive ever used it. I was like ya im an EMT and medical assistant and the pharmacist was just like looking at me so i stared back and was like "something wrong" and she realized what she was doing by violating HIPAA and being inconsiderate and quickly handed me my meds. Pissed me off because I just wanted to get in there and then leave
Also finally admitting that over the decades I've been hiding the dysphoria has been an eye opener but it has caused a lot of internal commotion.
I was going to take my injection tomorrow to celebrate the new me on Mother's day ironically. Since my daughter asked me if I wanted to be called mom or grandma lol. I was like well hell I never thought of that.
The hard part now is the talk with my long time gf and her adult children since we live in a multi-generational household. Im sure it won't go over well. But im hopeful.
How did you all handle coming out to a spouse or loved one? This is where I am struggling now.
