You know you've wanted to get help for a long time and when you don't you've gotten to this point again and again?
I hope you do it this time. I'm not at all sure about the number of kink friendly practitioners is kink germane to your issues with panic and anxiety?
Yeah, basically. Mostly because I've always had to go through my parents (their insurance) and that was usually such a big hurdle on its own that I usually killed the idea before it got too far along. It's all my stuff now so getting around them is a bonus. Unfortunately I have to schedule everything myself now too. It's gotten to the point where I feel like I'm constantly blowing everything out of proportion consciously and that I can "get over" my issues if I'm just determined enough. Though I know that's probably my dad speaking, who doesn't seem to believe in illness, let alone mental illness, of any kind. (He was raised in a hardcore Christian Scientist household.)
They're not central to my issues at all, but I would like to be able to bring up my queerness in all its myriad manifestations as I deem them relevant so I don't feel like I'm having to hide from my therapist of all people.
