^ On the bright side, at least you're seeing a psychiatrist specializes for trans-ppl, hopefully it goes well ^ O ^ but yeah, not exactly the best of days for everyone it seems, but I'm sure things will get better eventually :>
@Rina Yea, I'm quite happy about that at the very least. I mean, it's a treament after all, supposed to make me feel better and all, so it's not a negative thing necessarily.
I'd say that we just all have to wait until things start working out well for us. Hang on Cafe!
@ Galich
Gosh, that sounds messed up... I'm really very sorry to hear that!
Being forced to drop out of university is a tough one... I hope that at least therapy will work for you and that at one point you'll get another chance to go back to university...
Sometimes we just run out of luck and a lot of bad things happen one after another...
I hope you'll manage somehow. So please hang in there!
@Anon Don't worry, it's not as dramatic as it sounds :P
I mean, in the end I think I\d have changed my degree after the first year, plus if I ever want to come back, there won't be problem with that. But I've already made my mind up; when (and not if) come back, it's gonna be for a degree I enjoy studying for a job I'd want to do all the time.
It kind of is messed up.. I mean, after all I cannot even valtz in there and tell them my problems, since they would just say that it's not a disability that directly interfers with attending uni, which I call bullshit on. I just wish that the society would be more aware of the LGBT community, not trans people alone.
At the very least they're trying to cater to other students with different students. Good idea, but it's still a bit imperfect. Well, I am optimistic about the future, those things will become more debated topic, I am 100% sure of that.
@Galich
Being forced to leave that uni you looked forward to going so much sucks. I feel bad for you.
As Rina pointed out, the bright side is that you're seeing a psychatrist, who may help you to get through those dysphoria and depression. (the latter caused by you being transgender doesn't suprise me, I had a feeling it was at least connected to you mental state).
That said, a detail still irks me; if it's the first time you go to see a psychatrist, how did you get the antidepressants and medications you were (are?) under ? Do pharmacies sell them without prescription in Poland ?
Is it impossible for you to study at home ? You should be able to attempt exam inspite of it, aren't you ?
If not, I hope your uni will be understanding and that you will be able to go back there next year.
I wish everything will go better for you. You really are the unlucky type.
Normally, I'd say something like "if you want someone to talk to, just send me a message on steam or wherever you want", but in this case I shall refrain.
I second what Anon said, this thread is the place to [try to] draw away your sorrow and disappointment.
@Utoptia Well, it's unsurprising really, since it's been my main "hot debated topic" in the thread for the past few weeks or so.
Regarding the meds, it's not exactly hard to get one's hands on those if you have someone working in medicine befriended. Just asked for a prescribtion for something to get me up, and I got it.
As I said before, the uni won't recognize it as sth handicapping my ability to study, and one would need an actual medical paper for every single sick leave justified. Imho it's just stupid, as long as someone's able to write the exams, their frequence of attending should not be controlled.
Well, this reminds of the modest beginning of this thread, when I first posted on page 8 I believe.. we came a long way since then.
