Morning.
I had a session with my therapist today, telling her how the weekend went and the discussion my fellow and I had. She had some insightful things to share.
Meanwhile, I have some friends who in my opinion are not supportive of how my guy and I are transitioning. While I want them to say “You are making what you believe is the right choice and I support you” They are instead saying the opposite. One lit into me so bad last night I had an anxiety attack at dinner and walked out of the restaurant. If I feel like I need to share with my friends she suggested that I preface my sharing with, “I need to talk/vent without needing a response back” If my friends are capable of listening, great; if not, great and I then I can not share with them.
I am struggling with my anxiety so we are going to work on that next week. And she liked my idea of a routine, to keep my life going and not staring at the clock watching the minutes tick by.
So that’s where I am today, breathing and keeping calm.
