starting point

[Hazard "AJ"]

nothing to get to exsited about but mum told me this afternoon that she has got me an apointment to see my GP on 6th sep. its not a big deal. but it made my day as i didnt have a very gd night lastnight. and it showed that shes helping me..

That's great. I'm going though the starting process right now. I came out to my mom a couple weeks ago, and since she worked in the hospital, was able to get me booked in to see a couselor. Though the counselor was just the starting point, the actual theripist has a waiting list so I don't see him till December.

My starting process is slow and I'm not sure what order to put it in.

I see Dr. Demara on the 17th. My ticker is like 10 days off and I'm trying to fix it. He is the "Gender Therapist." I might practically jump on his lap with my eagerness to get to plan outlined. I won't be asking him to make things move faster, I just want to know what order we'll be doing things in. He already expects me to be quite eager, he knows my therapy has been greatly delayed (for 6 months, it should not have taken this long for me to see someone like him).

Well, I'm not sure but I think the next step is for me to see my GP and ask to be referred to the endocrinology department. But before I contact her I will ask my therapist if he can make that referral...

Yay Elwood, doing it smart!

Way to go, I know it feels like forever sometimes, I have already done the doctor and psych bit to get my intitial referral to the gender identity clinic and hopefully after that to talk to an endocrinologist about starting T but it feels like I have been waiting forever even though it's only been about six months since I first saw my doc.

I am now wating for the gender identity clinic to contact me with a definate date for an appointment (I have already been referred) and they have already contacted me to get me to confirm I would like an appointment.

I have to say all the medical types I have spoken to so far about this have been perfectly fine but apparently according to my psych, it gets worse ie I will be asked a LOT of questions which I am totally prepared for and is onlyto be expected really but still the time cannot come fast enough until I start T.

Ok so Mum got the date wrong I see the doc 2morrow and for some reson im a lil nerves.. But exsited if that makes sence. anyone got any words of cunfert?

I think Leiandra said it best for me when I was getting jittery about it.

Take a few deep breaths and visualise the best possible way it can go and how you'll feel when it does. Keep hold of that picture in your mind. See everything going without a hitch.

You know how you feel, who you are, who you want to be, and you know that you're not being dishonest with anyone.

Change the point of view. Look at it as though its a great oppurtunity, and you finally got it. Dont be nervous, be exicted

[icontact]

You'll be fine. I already talked to my doc about when I thought I was androgyne, and he was cool with it. So I know it'll be fine when I come out properly. I see him again on Sep. 11. [Is that supposed to be an omen ] Anyways yeah haha. It'll be fine.

oh no. i'm sure it wasn't intentional (that sort of behavior is only done by the true psychos like my mom and hypatia's, maybe elwood's but im not sure).

You'll have a take 2.

A good way to relax about it might be: "Besides, what's this short period compared to The Rest Of My Life? It'll happen."

That does suck dude. Have you re-scheduled then appointment then?
It was a pure mistake. Why don't you arrange one then you will know when where and what time yourself. So if something happens you only have youself to blame!
