Big dead end today

[SissyKatie]

I don't like to rant and rave and bother people, but I have no one else at all I can talk to about this, so today a Literotica forum gets the brunt.

Since 2010 I have gone through NHS (UK) and work funded counsellers and countless talks with various GPs. Today after a six month wait I finally got to speak to a psychiatrist, and feel completely dismissed and ignored. I have worked at CBT many times before, and that is what they have referred me back to again.

There is no help in the UK for transgendered people who are in need. Or if there is, then I can't find it. I was depending so much on this appointment. I was asked a few times over the hour what I expect them to do. I have no idea how to answer that question. I know it seems petty and childish, but I would not be asking them for help if I had any idea what it is I need in the first place.

I am sure things will seem better tomorrow, and I will still be here, and the day after and the day after. But it still really hurts to get up each day and try to go on, and now what I thought was the last hope is shattered. It really is my own fault for putting so much hope into something, but I thought it was where I might finally find someone to understand. I don't really know what to do now except just fight harder and keep out of everyone's way as much as possible.

Hi SissyKatie.

I don't know if you were hoping for responses or not, but I happened to notice this post and after reading thought that I would post this.

I grew up in the UK, and have dealt with the NHS for a long time. So I can relate to the frustration of having to deal with their oftentimes unhelpful staff. The UK in general is also, i've found, a few years behind the US and other countries in coming to terms with support for minority groups (I hate saying that, it sounds offensive, but I certainly don't mean it that way).

I know almost nothing about your situation, but I will offer the following: You're certainly not alone. While the government may be behind, there are a multitude of groups and organizations that would be able to help you find what you're looking for, or help you accomplish what you desire. I'm not personally into the GLBT scene myself, so I cannot suggest specific groups, but just as they do here in the States, they do exist.

I wish you all the best in your endeavors, and hope that this post has brightened your bad day a little bit.

Sissykatie, I can highly recommend you contact the Beaumont Society for support and advice, it has been around for decades and is probably the best in the UK.
