Yay!
YES! A few hours ago I got back home from my appointment at the CHCS clinic. I have an appointment to see a doctor on 14 July. I go back this coming Mewday to get enrolled in CareLink (free healthcare coverage). I am also enrolled in employment assistance and housing assistance. We discussed my treatment plan, and transgender is listed on there. Hopefully this means I'll get a prescription for hormones. I was also told I may be prescribed something new or something else since I still feel a bit on the hopeless side. The hopelessness isn't as bad as before, though, its just still there. I know exactly what will make it go away - hormones.
I also have a diagnosis for Major Depression Disorder, and that can get me listed as having a mental disability, ie, sooner or later I may qualify for disability benefits. Not exactly the best way to be "disabled", IMO, but its not like I'd turn down the placard for guaranteed close-proximity parking. Hopefully it won't come to that, the only way I wouldn't feel guilty about accepting disability benefits is if I get landed in a wheelchair, unable to walk ever again.
Over the weekend I will run out of prozac, so the weekend and all of next week is going to be pretty shitty for me. I won't get any more until I see the doctor on the 14th. I hate the prospect of sinking back into the depths of hell depression. The past two weeks I've been on prozac were really good for me. I rather enjoy not suffering in hell being suicidally depressed.
