Hi
Im putting this here since i dont really want to explain it to my friends as its just too embarrasing. I also dont want to bother anyone
My day has been just so fucking stressful.
I booked a consultation for electrolysis. I was so excited because my beard gives crazy dysphoria. I cant shave certain parts all the way down.
So I got on the train to go into the city. Of course it was PACKED and was very hot and literally smelled like piss. Already stressed.
Then my dad texted me from his laptop to call his phone (he lost it). He has a meltdown. Rants to me a bit about his various mental illnesses/conditions (only a little). That makes me very sad for him. I didnt really respond to him since im not gonna be his therapist tho.
Got onto another train but that one was so loud. Screeching and shit as it moves. Also a bunch of loud footy fans got on the train. Autism did NOT like that.
Anyway, get into the city. Try and look for electrolysis place. My phone maps does not work. I have a lot lot of trouble navigating. It confuses me.
I couldnt for the life of me find it. Appointment time comes up so I just leave. And now im crying eating some chicken nuggets lol.
Yet another post idk y im making. Only loosely related to mtf. Guess im just looking for support lol.

I remember one time I missed a laser appointment by miss-entering the time into my calendar. I was too far away to make the appointment and they charged me the full amount anyway cause I didn’t cancel the day before. It really sucked.
Gods, this reminds me of my first time trying to get laser. It’s like they deliberately tried to hide the location lol. I eventually had to call the business to ask for directions, and the lady on the phone really helped me out.
I get a ton of navigation anxiety too. If it’s important, I often try go to the location like a day or two before so I have the route memorized.
Sorry this happened, Minty. And don’t hate yourself; I live in a big city and they’re objectively confusing lol. Not your fault. When you’re feeling better, you can always reschedule. The euphoria of hair removal is so worth the stress.
Thank you :). I should have an opportunity to find the place soonish, so Ill do that.
I’ll book another appointment when im ready. I get nervous that ill be the silly person who couldnt attend because they couldnt find it. Really need this elecyrolysis done however
i’m just sitting here experiencing secondhand anxiety when the loud footy fans get on the train.
that sounds like a rough day. i wish i had any advice beyond what was already given. best i can do is supportive head pats (if that’s welcome).
Head pats are very welcome :3 thank u
Life hack for the future: just asking random strangers for help works surprisingly often. Even if not, there’s not much to lose and you can try again with someone else.
personal anecdote
I once asked a stands at a metro station “hey I think my smartphone just got stolen, can you call the following number (mine) to confirm?” Before realizing that I sound like a lunatic. And they reacted like I was a crazy lunatic, but turned out they were drunk enough to actually do it for the lulz. As suspected, my phone got immediately powered off once stolen, though.
Social anxiety here, cant see myself doing that. Maybe ill try on a confident day however.
That is funny lol. Have to assume you did not see that phone again
