I'm having a good day about just everything, and I have not been having very many good days lately.  Normally, I am fairly comfortable with being transgendered and even the associated dysphoria is minor.  Lately I've been a bit depressed and my feelings about being transgendered have ramped up and the dysphoria has gotten a bit worrisome.

Today I saw my counselor, and I feel a lot better about who I am, and while the dysphoria is still higher than normal for me, I'm even okay with that.  He just helped me see that I was depressed and that is what is impacting me so heavily.  I didn't even think that depression would cause me to target the transgender part of me, because I never have before; definitely a new one for me.

Hopefully tomorrow will be a good day too!

Thats really great to hear :)
I find talking to someone, even if they are not a professional therapist/counciller works wonders, as ther is nothing worse than keeping things bottled up. I hope tomorrow is another good day for you as well!! Take Care.

Very good to hear, switch.

  
It does not take courage or bravery to change your gender.  It takes fear of living one more day in the wrong one.~me
