The fact that you're actually looking up what it takes to get your gender marker changed on your papers? Yeah. That says something. Maybe not quite waht it looks like on the outside, but something.
In other words, this semester, get your ass into therapy. Not the counseling center at school (though free, issues). Find someone in town who you can talk to and who won't act like Paula. At the very least, feel out getting on T cream.

Okay. So you're probably doomed to dentures no matter what. This is just a note in advance to say that, even though you CAN have a slightly-more-than-occassional soda now (esp. if in posession of a caffeine withdrawal headache that needs cured NOW), don't drink as much as you used to. Okay? Okay.

You really do want to go on T, at least short term.
This doesn't make you any less of a girl on the days you are one, okay? A hormone doesn't take away your right to be femme.
Also? It might fix whatever the hell is going on your hormones right now without all the mixed feelings and issues you have with birth control.
So, therapy, get on that so you can get your letter, okay?

Oh self, you really, really do need six hours of sleep every night. Even if that sleep is interrupted for a few seconds when there's a noise or something, six hours with a few teeny breaks is a lot better than 4 or 5. Yes, you can get up and walk around and get stuff on less, but you really don't want to. Decline that cup of tea, shut off the internet, accept that you got as much done as you're getting done for the day, and turn out the lights even if roommate is still doing something six hours or more before you need to get up. Set aside all your anxieties about how you f'd up that paper or whatever, they'll still be there in the morning when you're fully rested to deal with them. You will be all the better for it in the morning.
