    I thought the nhs wait list is like 2k years or smth. Do they see what youre on? What if you go private to get them?

      Yeah I’m on the 2 year long waiting list waiting list for surgery rn and then who knows how long the actual one will be. It’s not like I could ever get it any other way tho

      They would know I think cause the records are like digitalised and whatever.

      Don’t think I’d be able to afford privately either

          Plus the actual waiting list, which again who knows how long it is, at least a year plus then having to do the 2 consultations at least, plus probably laser/electrolysis. I’ve been on the earlier waiting lists since like 2020.

          So realistically I’ll be waiting like 4 years on top of what I’ve already waited

            ok i have no idea how this stuff works. I mean for private you usually need like 1 or 2 sesh. psych prescribe ssri easy cause its not addictive

              I guess, it’s more about costs tho (and also waiting lists even for this would prolly be massive on the nhs if I were to go through w that)

              And then there’s also the chance they’d just say “you’re not depressed you’re just a tranny/you should detrans” which whatever ig but would be more cost in finding somewhere else

              Maybe you’re right and it’s easier than I’m thinking it would be tho idk I’ve never done anything for mental health past tranny stuff
