I’m glad it helped. There are quite a variety of experiences so hearing a positive one is reassuring! Thanks

Ah interesting! thanks

Sounds like you’ve had a really tough time with them. Thanks for sharing your experience. Hope you’re doing okay 🩷

Ah I don’t know what kind of advocate they are but will message you once I’ve found out. Thanks 🩷

Hope things go as okay as they can. Wards can be so overwhelming so hopefully you’ve got some home comforts. 💜

Massive congratulations! 🥳

Exactly! I don’t know of anyone that finds the TIPP skill as revolutionary as crisis teams claim it is

when I’m not busy I’m not coping
NHS: Have you tried distracting yourself more to get through this bit

NHS: dare I say ✨cup of tea and TV✨

NHS: but distraction techniques aren’t to be used all the time as you’ve eventually got to deal with the stuff
Me: …

Cis allies, don’t be hip, be helpful. Speak out, speak up, spread the word. Put yourself in an uncomfortable place: in the pub, at Pilates, round Cousin John’s. Risk ridicule and hate. Wherever you go, it will never be as uncomfortable as the place your trans friends and family are forced to occupy.

I agree, they just seem to always have issues with it. I find that I always have to follow things up and prompt things when no appointment letter materialises.

They’ve said they will look into it and let me know which is slightly hopeful

You’re absolutely not a failure but I totally understand it’s difficult to convince yourself! Hope today gets a bit better. 🩷
