Okay so I got my appointment today. Turns out it's on the 25th of October and not with the guy who sent the letter. If I'd wanted the name on the letter I'd have had to wait until november.... not much difference but the one week earlier seemed worth it.
Speaking of psychiatry though, I went for a renewal of my prescription today and I ALWAYS watch the screen when I go to the doctors. I saw a list of medical conditions flah up momentarily anbd Gender Dysphoria was on there but it had an X beside it.
Any doctor friends know if this is doctor code for "suspected" as I havent seen anyone yet or doctor code for "obviously faking it, pretentious little bastard" beause I know docs like to slip hidden things into their notes.
I also got asked if I felt depressed, which I've never been asked before. I said no but i'm starting to think I should have answered a little more wordily because although I'm not reaching for the razorblades just yet i do have a few stressfull times here and there and if all the doctors files are sittched together they might think I'm too happy to transition...
I mean that's what the waiting list is for surely, to let us pre hormone girls get old and ugly and lose our hair so that by the time we start getting therapy we REALLY fucking need it....
