Title: My 1st session!
Post by: Shana on February 22, 2013, 08:07:15 AM
Hello Everyone~ I'm so excited! :D I finally had the courage to contact a gender therapist and have an appointment set the 2nd of March!

I'm just built up with so much excitement and wanted to tell someone ;D I'm still a bit nervous though and this next week is gonna take sooo long to pass by >.<;
She sounded so nice, caring, and was very helpful on the phone and I'd made my intentions and goals clear. She's also gonna recommend me to an Endocrinologist too! I'm just bursting and overwhelmed with excitement! Even my parents (for once) took this well and it feels like everything is finally moving forward :D

Just wanted to get that all off my chest~ Thanks for listening~ :P

I'm in the same boat!  I actually have my first appointment today!!  Ahh kinda freaking out but it'll be ok.  I actually just came out for the first time to one of my friends so telling a therapist might be a little easier now that I've done it once.

Good luck! If you feel open about it, you should tell me all about it :D I'd love to hear

It is definitely heart-wrenching! Can't help but count the hours away each day waiting for the moment it finally comes!
