A quick follow up to my previous thread.
So I went to the Doctor's this morning, due to my anxiety, but with the intention of talking about my Gender Dysphoria. I was really nervous sitting in the waiting room, wondering which Doctor I would get, as there's one male and one female Doctor. Luckily I got the female Doctor, which put me much more at ease, and after discussing my anxiety I was able to bring up that I feel uncomfortable being a man.
The Doctor was extremely nice about it, asking me questions about how I feel inside and how the Dysphoria effects me. She took her time with me, as she could probably see it was a massive weight being lifted from my shoulders, and couldn't have been any kinder towards me, even congratulating me for having the bravery to talk to her about it.
The result was that I shall be seeing a psychiatrist in a couple of months time, with a view to moving onto more Gender Identity specific care afterwards, which is pretty much exactly the result I was hoping for. I have to admit that while it was scary, it also felt really good to finally talk to someone about it, and I did feel that once I started talking I wasn't going to stop. It's going to take a while yet but I finally feel like I'm getting somewhere now. The first step has been taken.
