First steps

[skylance]

Today, I took one of the first steps. I was given the number to an employee assistance program offering counseling services. I called the number and after about a 20 minute phone call, was able to get a referral to a therapist that deals with gender issues. I will hopefully be able to call her office tomorrow afternoon (I work nights, so it's sometimes difficult to do these kinds of things) and am going to be trying to set up an appointment on either Monday or Tuesday. Wish me luck!!!

Don't even need to wish you luck. You've taken an important step, and both the step and the act of taking it are significant. Good for you.

[Sarah Doepner]

Good for you! Just stay honest with yourself and keep moving until you are happy.

I agree with aunt Kelly, I'm a witness of so many supernatural things but our will is more powerful so keep moving forward and I'm not pushing you for transition but to know yourself better, like Sarah said, with honesty, knowing the truth is freedom, that's my humble opinion based on my experience and reading about it.

Well, after my first session, my therapist's initial diagnosis is an adjustment disorder with depressive features, but she also said that gender dysphoria is a possibility and that the initial diagnosis is likely to change as I see her more.
