Title: feeling better
Post by: Switch on March 25, 2013, 12:09:15 PM
I'm having a good day about just everything, and I have not been having very many good days lately.  Normally, I am fairly comfortable with being transgendered and even the associated dysphoria is minor.  Lately I've been a bit depressed and my feelings about being transgendered have ramped up and the dysphoria has gotten a bit worrisome.

Today I saw my counselor, and I feel a lot better about who I am, and while the dysphoria is still higher than normal for me, I'm even okay with that.  He just helped me see that I was depressed and that is what is impacting me so heavily.  I didn't even think that depression would cause me to target the transgender part of me, because I never have before; definitely a new one for me.

Hopefully tomorrow will be a good day too!

Thats really great to hear :)
I find talking to someone, even if they are not a professional therapist/counciller works wonders, as ther is nothing worse than keeping things bottled up. I hope tomorrow is another good day for you as well!! Take Care.
