    So I finally managed to get back into therapy after moving and I was really excited to get back on track for transition until she told me that's handled by a special group and not by the normal psychiatrists and apparently they only get together when the planets fucking align because the next time they do it is in autumn.

    It just keeps getting postponed. At this point it feels like I'll never get anywhere.

    I can relate, I can't transition until I move (I don't live in a safe town to do it in), and that keeps getting delayed, I'll probably be here for at least another year at this point.

    It sucks, and it's really hard waiting. But it'll happen eventually.

    Yup, another one here. I'm still hunting for the right therapist, and I'm not done with the basics yet.

    At least we know who and what we are, try to be more positive, Lazuri, that's all we've got.

    You'll get there, Laz. It might take you an annoying fucking amount of time, but you'll get there.
    As Michael said, try to stay positive. When things are real shitty, try to think of something positive, it can at least help you get through the day.
    Hugs

    Try smiling to yourself, if just for a moment. I was feeling like crap in front of the mirror but I brightened up some with just a smile. Not a big wide toothy grin, just a closed smile. It helps.

    So I'm told it might take years to get an apartment around here. FML.

    Needs more Palme.
    That sucks. Stockholm isn't the easiest place to find an apartment in... my roomy is probably going to uni there in a few months' time and he was half-seriously considering a tent as the solution...

    Wish I could help somehow. Don't think I've got much more than a hug to give for all it's worth (*hug*)
