An Outside Opinion

[thaddeusdagan]

I had another therapy session today. Therapy's been going well, since my therapist is awesome, and we've been dealing with a lot of different things - depression, ADHD, looking for work, relationships and next steps in transition. Today as I was leaving she said that as I've gone further into transition and completed various steps, she's definitely noticed that my depression has gotten much better, my self-confidence has increased and I seem overall much happier. It was really nice to hear that, because from the inside it often feels like I've just traded one set of stressors for another. Gods know my life isn't anything like what I want it to be right now, and I'm not exactly Mr. Sunshine and Light. So an objective view of how I'm handling things was reassuring to hear.

She also agrees that I should use some of the money from mfrazercani's severance package to do my legal name change ASAP, to decrease safety concerns and make my job search easier.
