So yesterday was quite the day.
I had the chance to meet with a Therapist for the first time. I decided to talk to a therapist to start working through some issues. I have been using some AI to let some things out, and then decided to have AI put it all together into a cheat sheet book to review before showing up. I knew it would be very hard for me to open up. I came out to my mom when I was 12, and to my wife, I told her I have some gender confusion because she found a wig. Saying the words out loud... that was the scary part because it makes it real. Anyway, she let me go on for a while about family and then called out the gender stuff. I couldn't even make eye contact, but I did open up. It was harder and easier than expected. Not really sure yet. I will say I was glad I went. It was a very different feeling having someone encourage me to grow my hair out. Still processing. Too bad it was not when I first called a gender therapist at 16 and not mid-40s. I think the cheat sheet that AI did for me helped a lot. Anyway, thanks for letting me share. Long way to go.
