I was so ready for my appointment yesterday. I got up early, I mentally prepared, I was so excited! I get outside to wait for my ride and it hasn’t shown up yet, so I called my insurance company to see where my ride is and they broke down! They said they were trying to get me another ride but I never got another ride from them. So I asked the neighbor if we could borrow the car. I called the gender clinic to let them know I’d be late but bc of how late I was going to be, I had to reschedule… I was so depressed yesterday but, My grandma played some uno with me and I got free food. So it wasn’t all bad.

Hi that_pigeon,
Yeah that is a bummer. It sounds like you made the best of it though. There always seems to be one extra hurdle but hang in there. Thanks for posting. You got this!

Hey @that_pigeon thanks for posting!
It can be so difficult when things don’t line up. I like your attitude of finding something positive out of the day and that is exactly what helps me. Keep having faith, it’ll happen and you’ll get there! And please keep that attitude - it’s awesome!

Hi that_pigeon,
This is really cool that you shared this, I have to admit that when I face setbacks and tough moments, I usually try to just deal with it by myself, and so I’m really impressed at your vulnerability and putting this out here, you are inspiring to me.
Hearing your story about yesterday sounds really frustrating and disappointing, I bet you had been waiting for this moment for so long and to have that taken away because of something that was out of your control - not cool at all. I’m curious, how long do you have to wait for your rescheduled appointment?
I also have to say that it seems like you allowed yourself to feel the feelings and the disappointment, and then you did something healthy for your heart by spending time with your Grandma, that’s really great and I have faith in your ability to work through this!

Greetings that_pigeon. Props for the positive reframe and focusing on spending time with Grandma and yummy food. Unfortunately often times things happen that are completely out of our control and we just have to roll with the punches and respond the best way we can. Choosing to focus on those positive points was an excellent path to go down. Well played.

Hello that_pigeon,
I admire your ability to turn an unfortunate situation into a positive one. Life throws many curveballs that are beyond our control, and it’s impressive how you managed to stay positive and enjoy a nice evening with your family despite it all. Your resilience is commendable! You should be proud of not letting one challenging experience ruin your whole day.

Hey @that_pigeon,
Great to see you! That’s so fantastic you got an appointment scheduled! I know you’ve gone through a lot the last couple years and i’m so incredibly proud of you and the progress you’ve made!
That sucks that you had to reschedule though. Especially due to factors that were well outside of your control. But the good news is that its a reschedule and not a cancellation, so progress! I’m glad you were able to enjoy time with your grandma too though, and free food too? NICE!
I’m so excited for you and this next step in your journey, and i’m so incredibly honored that you invited us in your journey!

I had a situation with some friends… and it felt like they were trying to change me or stop me from being trans so… I had a slight identity crisis and canceled my appointment

Greetings again that_pigeon. Just following up to see how you’re feeling. Sorry to hear you had to cancel your appointment again. Outside influences can be difficult to deal with during major changes in your life and having an identity crisis is surely a normal biproduct. To quote Star Wars “Search your feelings” … I’m sure you’ll be able to come up with the right decision as long as you’re staying true to yourself.
