Here is the good news though which makes me feel warm and happy inside. I saw a psychiatrist a couple of weeks ago and agreed to send me and my doctor a letter confirming that I would have no issues in starting HRT and I will be going to see my doctor this Thursday to discuss whether or not I can. Hopefully she agrees with my psychiatrist and I will start HRT very soon.
I told my manager at work, she is also very nice. It was a little bit of a shock but we talked for at least half an hour, discussed future plans and what could happen in the near future. She was very supportive in my decision and it shouldn't effect my employment at all as long as I keep up the good work :D
I also found, by pure random chance, another person like me. I was playing a game a while ago with tonnes and tonnes of different people. I met this one person and we talked a bit about the game and stuff. Then it turns out she is very much like me. Except she was a little more fortunate that her body was already pretty feminine but was a male. Eventually deciding that she wanted to be a female. So we now talk on a daily basis, we tell each other everything. We've even suggested to each other that we move in together in the future. That would be awesome!!! :D :D
So, not everything has been miserable and depressing. Just most of it.

That's Great! It's good to know that there are open minded employers out there.
Also, I am glad you found a friend in a similar situation. I too have a friend in life who has transitioned, and she has been like a big sister to me. It's a very good feeling to know that you aren't alone.
Good luck with starting HRT! I am envious :)
