Hey everyone. Been really struggling lately. I am out of active treatment. Post surgery, chemo, radiation etc etc. Its been about half a year now. Had a heart attack during chemo, lost my emotional support animal. And now the kisquali might be making me crazy. Been a tough year. I feel bad even feeling bad, because how fortunate is it to even have made it thru to the other side and all.

But god... found out I might need another surgery (this will be my third) to correct something from the first surgery. I am having issues with my arm swelling now and just got diagnosed with lymphedema. I have been working out consistently and eating right for like three months and I've only lost three pounds.

The lymphedema diagnosis has totally put me over the edge. I feel so, so sad right now. Im seeing a cancer therapist now but I dont really like her all that much lol. I know i need to find a new therapist.... but in the meantime, what are you guys telling yourselves when you're in a big depression slump? Has a therapist ever given you a piece of advice thats really helpful that I could steal?

Also just wanted to say thank you all in advance. This sub has truly gotten me through a lot. I wish I could give all of you a big hug.

I am frustrated to tears right now. I have been trying for two weeks to schedule a top surgery consult and i either get the cleveland clinic voicemail or directed to someone who doesnt answer. I am ready to just drive to a building and wait to get an appt.

Those who have had this gender affirming care in Cleveland, what are the first steps? I have called the gender affirming care number and im transferred somewhere different every single time. Who should I call. Where should I go?

Scheduling at the Cleveland is always so stressful.

Just curious on how everyone feels. No right or wrong answer i suppose. My friends and I have been talking about it and I think they are a little annoying lol..
