Just had a telephone 'progress' update with my prescribing therapist [View all]

We talked about the November disaster. She said she thought about me, that day. She has some Trans patients who are terrified and looking into seeking asylum in Canada.

She and her wife have two children. When she told them of the election outcome, they looked at her and said "We're not safe!" That tore at my heart.

No change in medication. She did tell me that there are a few ways to help regulate my mental health. Taking hot baths or showers and LAUGHING. She also suggested looking in to yoga and/or meditation.

I'll talk to her, again, in two months.
