Trying to get both my ADHD and T medication for an affordable price has been an absolute pain in the ass for these past few weeks and i dont know if ill resolve it or not.
On the bright side, I am about to start the process of changing my legal name and getting top surgery, so i'm happy about that.
College has been stressful with the workload and I'm still trying to keep my head above the water with that. I think I'm slowly starting to manage but it's a process. I've had some instances of transphobia which were very unexpected because the college I go to is a generally accepting place with a lot of queer people. Most people are okay, just a few bad apples. It doesn't affect me as much as it did before but still hurts. I've made friends that I trust and enjoy being around and who would give me the shirt off their back and that's what matters most to me. Still struggling with dysphoria sometimes but I think it will lessen as time goes by.
Good luck; you got this, dude!
