CW: Seeking advice re: support groups and bad things happening
I am hoping someone in here might have advice. I am in a #transfem support group. When I engage in it, it helps me a lot.
The problem is, every time something really bad happens to someone in the group, it sends me spiralling for a bit. And by "really bad" I mean suicide, or people going missing, or etc. Every time I engage with the group for even months afterward, I have these awful waves of grief. It pushes me to disengage, because it feels like the only way to insulate myself from the pain. But distancing myself also hurts, because my support network is otherwise pretty small.
How do I find an emotional compromise here? I need the emotional crutch this group provides, but I also need to be able to recover when that crutch fails.

CW: Electrolysis
Asking all #transfem / #transfemme people: can anyone tell me what it is like to get electrolysis done under sedation? I can see that it is possible, but I want to know if it works / is hellishly bad before I ask for an estimate
Otherwise I will likely continue seeing my clinic that just does numbing shots. It's just going very slowly because I don't get enough time off to do this often

How open should I be about being trans at work? I am a programmer in a research part of UChicago Medicine. I would really like to talk about these things with my work friends, but currently the only people who know are the ones who interviewed me and HR. The all know me as a woman and as my chosen name.
