Thanks for the replies and words of encouragement ladies. Though I have been moving in this direction for a while now, once you get to a certain point, you just want things to move a little faster.
I guess I wish my next appointment was sooner because it felt so good to finally talk to someone about what has been inside of me for so long. There are plenty of people in my life right now that have no idea about what i am going through. And since the appointment, as I go about my regular daily life, all i want to do is talk about my impending transition. I know that a week or two here or there won't matter in the big picture, but it is getting closer and closer to my next beginning.
And I am already thinking about my next appointment. Because if my next appointment after that is another 3 weeks away, I feel that I need to get more accomplished, and that adds to the anxiety. I am thinking that I need to get the ball rolling faster and go ahead with HRT. She did bring it up at our first meeting and I see no reason for me not to request it at our next meeting.
I know I am not getting ahead of myself because I am so far behind where I really need to be.
