We continue our discussion of George's mental health care over his life, from his first access to anti-depressants during grad school, through to more modern behavioral, somatic, and pharmaceutical strategies that have helped him.

CORRECTION: At 17:35, Jess references a book that should be correctly titled "You Are The One You've Been Waiting For", not "looking for".

We live in the american inter-mountain west. Many queer and trans folks, as well as members of other marginalized communities, have had cause recently to consider emigrating from the US, so we discussed some of our friends' and acquaintances' stories, as well as our current mindset on this topic.

TPT#428 - Sandwich That's Been At 7-Eleven Too Long

When westerners call the generational status of caring for children and elders simultaneously "Sandwich Generation", Jess thinks that makes it sound like flavorful fillings in an easily handled form, but we have found it to be far from tasty. George especially finds it challenging while also dealing with repeated illness and injuries.

TPT#418 - I Wanted It Fixed For Everybody

One recurring theme in the ten year's we've been in your ears has been the recurring difficulties accessing testosterone. These difficulties are familiar to most trans folks on any form of HRT, and now George has been struggling to also access mental health treatment meds after an insurance snafu.
