What is the biggest step you've taken lately?

I rather like that phrase for some reason. I may get a new t shirt with that on it.

Booked a GP appointment to discuss going on testosterone properly instead of buying it off the internet. Or at least getting blood tests while I'm self-medding.

Likeliest outcome is being refused tests and bridging prescription and put on the local gender clinic waiting list, which depending on which source you believe is anywhere from 6 to 22 years long, but at least I'll have *tried* to do things properly.

Of course I'm now in my usual state of "can't do anything because important appointment coming up." Just kind of watching life fall apart around me and hoping I can sort it out in two weeks' time.

lol. I had to have my pallet widened as a kid with a device resembling a torture screw because otherwise I'd probably still talk like the sloth from Ice Age. Sure is fun being the Stranger Thing, isn't it?

Thank you!

I hope your D&D night goes well.

Thx so much. I am proud and you should be too for your recent success. Going out is really hard. 

Oh I'm not sure! Maybe a warlock? :-)

That's really good, you should be proud! Going out is damned hard!

What type of character are you planning to pĺay?

I signed up for a D&D night to meet new people and practice socialising. :-)

Mine has been going out. I'm disabled physically and going out is really difficult and I get a lot of anxiety about going out to public places but I took myself in my chair to the corner shop and though I felt really anxious at the time it was such a big step to take but I feel so proud I did it.

Emigrating from an abusive country that hates my ethnic background

Banish despair.

That's understandable, school is a really difficult environment to be in. Not what I would call autism friendly.

Coffin planes are superior said:

Good luck with uni!

Thank you x.

I get that difficulty. I didn’t even finish primary. Haven't seen the inside of a classroom since I was 10 or 11. Good luck with uni!

Second step is always the hardest. Going for my next tat next week. Both looking forward to it and dreading it.

Well done that's a big achievement! I find entering shops extremely difficult at times. After a break away I'll be returning to university soon and this is a huge step for me as I struggled a lot last time and was sectioned afterwards. I'm hoping this step will be in a positive direction and go a lot better than last time.

I signed up for Spanish evening classes to try to get myself out of the house and speaking to people.

Next challenge: making myself actually go.

Not most pleasant but it's more painful for me to think about having the same face for the rest of my life!

Nice! Also ouch!
