Hello, again
Been a long time since I’ve put an actual life update here. If you’re still present and interested in reading what I have to say, I invite you to comment on this post (even if it’s just a single word). :)
Top events since my last life-update post:
* I’ve been on testosterone since April 4th, 2017. It’s done wonders for my mental health and ambient levels of dissociation. I look forward to the generalized greasiness of second puberty settling down. Hopefully in the next year or two.
* The spousal unit has realized she’s transgender, and that she had such a strong negative reaction to being told about my gender-weirds because it yanked the rug out from under her own denial. She’s been on estrogen for 4-ish years, now, and is pushing towards GRS.
* Much as we love one another, we don’t make a good household together, so we’ve stopped trying. (While with a multi-state employer, she’s living in CA because the appearance-related transition health coverage is better there.) By mutual agreement, we’re also dating other people.
* My boyfriend is currently visiting from the UK, and it’s *so good* to see them again. Though, they’ve discovered a(t least one) brand new major allergic reaction—signs tentatively point to some component of dish detergent. Testing Castile soap shortly. Multiple severe instances this trip; two requiring visits to urgent care and the third before the prior round of Prednisone had finished. Plus a low-level continuous *something* which we initially thought was dust mites, but now suspect the laundry detergent.
* After three shared households (two in the Before Times), as of this past summer I have the sometimes-relief of living alone again. So many feels about that.
* Somewhere along the way, I picked up a PTSD diagnosis and have been getting treatment for it. Thank fuck, it’s more treatable than the rest of my ailments seem to be.
