Not sure if said about counseling in my last postor not.
I have started counseling and the past 2 sessions i have managed to fully talk about my gender issues. Since my last post my gp has refered me to mental health for my depression and my counselor told me today that is hould tell mental health about my gender problems and she said that they will be able to get me the help i need surrounding my gender issues.
I am not too sure what to expect i dont know what the first steps would be for getting help.
I know that soon i will have to move out my parents house i think thats the only way i will ever get to live as a woman.
I do have 1 question i wanted to ask. How could i get rid of my beard for good?. Is there any way that doesnt involve to much pain.
I hate my beard and my other hair. the only decent hair i have is on top of my head.
I do not know how i am going to break the news to my parents that i am moving out and going to live as a woman. I think they will be very upset.

Electrolysis was not painful for me in the least bit. I didn't like it because 1. it was $60 an hour- I did it for nearly 7 months straight, every weekend, sometimes 2 straight hours, 2. too time consuming- just lying there for hours 3. results not immediate- my last sessions it was neck, cheeks, and under bottom lip. There are some parts I see that are not growing back, I just don't have the damn patience. I'm starting laser soon.
Good luck. ;)
