I feel crippling embarrassment when I think about telling other people about detransitioning. It feels embarrassing for me to have been so wrong, and to have taken so many steps just to not be trans in the end. Even thinking about reconstruction surgery, I can feel “crazy” for removing my chest and then having it reconstructed. How do I cope with and communicate this experience in a healthier light? All I want to do is close my eyes, go back to the way I was, and pretend this never happened (which is impossible).

Hey guys! I talked a lot this weekend and I can tell it’s not as high, sometimes this can happen in a store which is stressful. How do you think my voice sounds when tired? Any advice is appreciated- thank you!

Hi everyone, word is coming down the grapevine that I might be fired from my job (non-CNA) in the next month. I’m between trying to find a job asap, but my current job isn’t a good fit and hasn’t been for a while. I‘ve found myself longing to enter the nursing field for the past 3 years, and with a termination coming, now might be the time to make a much-needed career jump.

Quite frankly, I’m panicking over having an employment gap and starting something new, especially in this economy. I have an emergency savings (and will get unemployment if I don’t find a new role). I also feel drawn to caring for the elderly. My mind is spinning with the risks of getting into nursing, like how physically and emotionally taxing being a CNA can be. If I was to follow this feeling to pursue being a CNA, would it be possible for me to find a job after gaining a certification without much explicit medical experience? Are there jobs available, generally speaking in the NY tri-state area? I appreciate the chance to get some of these feelings out, and if you would have any advice around a career shift, I would really appreciate it. Thank you!
