Everyone thinks of acceptance as a final destination to arrive and set camp at, but it is more like a pendulum. Some days acceptance is easier and other days it is impossible - and it is always in motion, swinging back and forth.

Talks with my occupational therapist when being asked the question ”how does it feel to think this is going to be the rest of your life?” for the first time since my diagnosis.

Finding the right fit for you :)

Finding a therapist can sometimes be very overwhelming. It is mainly a game of trial and error. However, there are some tips and tricks to make your life a little easier when it comes to scoping out the right therapist for you. The first is to ask a friend or anybody that you trust. Although a referral from a friend or even a doctor you trust is a way to find a therapist, it is important to remember that your needs and goals might be different the person who referred you. Therefore, it is worth a shot but don’t get discouraged if it doesn’t work out. Adding onto referrals, you can also use an online database such as the American Psychological Association as well as the American Association of Marriage and Family therapist. These databases contain searchable licensed therapist. When on the website, you just enter in your zip code and it will bring up a list of counselors in the area. Your first session can be a little overwhelming, and you might not know what to expect. To ensure that you have the information to make the best decision possible, some questions you could ask your therapist during your first session are, “Are you a licensed psychologist in this state?”, “What do you consider to be your speciality or area of expertise?”, and lastly, “Are you apart of my insurance network?”. While you are attending your first session, make sure to look out for any possible red flags such as if the room or the therapist is making you uncomfortable. If you have been searching and searching and still have not found the right therapist for you then an online therapy app may be the right fit for you. Although it can be a long and tricky process, in order for therapy to work, it is important that you find a therapist that is best suited for you so you can get the most out of it.

Support that will help you get through

We all need some help sometimes

You might be exhausted by the effort of putting on a brave face. Maybe you feel like there’s a dark cloud that follows you around. Perhaps a panic attack threatens to emerge at any moment.

Depression, panic attacks, and anxiety are like catching a cold. We all get them; then they go. But when you’re in the thick of it, it can feel severe and troubling. And you probably just want to stay in bed.

You’re not alone.

Sometimes you don’t want to talk about it. Especially not to the friends and family who you might feel rely on you to be the strong one.

But, ultimately, you overcome your problems by facing them.

So you bottle it up.

We can’t always be strong. And sometimes we need to share how we feel so that we can finally let go of negative barriers and problems that are holding us back.

The first step is the hardest. But it’s the most important.

HELP ME, PLEASE

Getting Help Takes Courage

Recognising the need for a little help is the first step to your recovery.

Seeking help is not giving up; it’s a brave, positive step towards getting better.

It can feel like a huge step. But, together, we can help bring clarity to the murky waters; allowing a little sunshine back in.

You might be struggling to stop smoking, or there may be weight loss issue. Or you may be suffering from panic attacks, anxiety, or depression.

Help is available

SHE SAID YES

It's not what you think. My therapist said that she would write my letter of recommendation!!! This is A HUGE FUCKING DEAL. This is what my future heavily leans on: the official word saying I am cleared to start testosterone. I have been deemed mentally stable and that my decisions are sound. 

I AM GOING TO BECOME THE MAN I FEEL THAT I AM.
