:D At long last I have met with the counsellor I was referred to by my GP. I have been waiting for weeks for this day.
Last night I had the first panic attack of my life and thought that I could not breathe. Now I think that that was a subconscious reaction to the turmoil in my mind.
We talked for an hour,during which time I found out that I am lucky enough by pure chance to live close to one of England's 3 gender clinics.
Today starts a journey to where I don't know. All I do know is that I am glad at last to be on the journey.
Next visit in 2 weeks. The real assessment with all the questions to find out where I lie on the spectrum.
They also run support groups that encourage you to examine your own situation but in the safety of the unit that is in the hospital grounds. Monthly meetings. Hope I can eventually find the space to get to one.
Rambling post, sorry, but this is such a great day for me.Will tell you more as the journey continues.
Peace and tranquility
