Hello everyone!
So the past couple of weeks I've made some serious progress with feeling better about myself, all thanks to my therapist. In a nutshell, I was overwhelmed with so much clutter in my mind and my therapist just kept shooting my worries down, until I had a really bad night about 2 weeks ago and after much tears, and talking with my therapist 2 days in a row.. I'm starting to actually feel really good!
I was able to work up the courage to meet with the LGBTQ Director at my school and inform her of my trans-identity. I actually sat outside her office and decided to reschedule, before deciding against it, it was very difficult for me. I was worried people would see me in the resource center and ask questions later why I was there... But surprisingly, no one even looked at me.
The director was immensely accepting and helped me get signed up with a mentoring program where they will pair me with a transwoman in my area who has already fully transitioned that will meet with me once or twice a week to talk about whatever and ask questions. It may take a few weeks as I guess she wants to pair me with someone that is near my age (27), vice someone younger. She also introduced me to a very cute transman that works on the Staff at my University, who was also very accepting.
I was so worried I would be freaked out after the meeting but surprisingly, I feel an extreme sense of calm.. Like everything was going to be okay.
Next step is hormones- I can't wait!
