You know what would be good? To just have a straight up directory listing doctors, hospitals, clinics, therapists, counselors, surgeons, etc. who are trans-friendly and don't give you a total hassle to get stuff done.
I've been in and out of therapy since I was about 7. Back then it was to "make me normal". But since being an adult, I've been in and out for my own depression. They have some weird ideas about diagnoses here. I've never been diagnosed as depressed, because the people at the top of the totem pole all stick together and they just don't want me to have any proof on record qualifying me for SSI. Yet they have diagnosed me every time I've gone in (and we only have one place here where you can get free counseling) as schizotypal for being an atheist, as they consider that a delusion and unusual belief here. No lie. So that's the only thing I've ever been diagnosed with.
I've actually been wanting to go back, in some vague hope of being diagnosed GID. But since my religious views have changed (pagan) and so has my perception of myself, I can almost imagine that they would involuntarily commit me. And they do do that here for people like me who are really off from the conservative Christian norm.
Personally though, I think I could be low on the bipolar spectrum. I do have bouts of severe depression as well as hyper craziness, but not so often and not nearly as bad as true bipolars. I definitely have social anxiety and am often nervous around people or outdoors in general, when there's potential that someone could be watching me and thinking nasty, derogatory things about me.
