SOoooooooo
After a few long months of serious questioning and self-doubt i finally sat down today to book myself an appointment with a psychologist/therapist to help me sort out my personal concerns and help prepare myself for transition... gosh THAT was an awkward conversation though..... i got a call back on a mobile phone about an hour later. Neither of us could hear one another... it was bad because she kept asking those basic little time-saver questions, name, d.o.b, address, etc then finally the big question, purpose for appointment and i was like "um ah, um ah.... and i started mumbling and stumbling as i spoke, all like "depressionandgenderissuesitsreallygotmefeelingsickandall" she didnt get it after like three tries so i practically had to yell at her "GENDER CONCERNS, I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK WITH SOMEONE TO HELP WITH MY TRANSITION". after that she seemed to get everything else i was saying.... im gonna chalk it up to my own nervousness i think... i felt so embarrassed having to say all that stuff on the phone though what a god-awful moment.
anyway it's done and out of the way, i've got my very 1st appointment this friday at
10.am, im nervous, im embarrassed and i'm cautiously optimistic....
