therapy, kinstuff 

My therapist didn’t end up commenting much to my lamenting in my inability to address species dysphoria. “What am i supposed to do when i can’t DO anything about this?”
She let me grief, and i reminded myself that this is, in fact, a reason i’m moving nearer to a community that does help so.

It’s difficult, and theres not always answers. It Just Sorta Is.

I talked about a lot of dissonance with regards to how fast I’ve changed. That i still have this internalized shame that makes me feel ridiculous for even feeling species dysphoria.
I mean, ITS A PRETTY WEIRD THING
And it well shattered how I thought people could Be. I’m glad for that, though. This worldview is much better.
I’m really going to miss her when i move. She told me to keep in touch, though.

@Oneironott *hugs* I know that feeling of shame :< I haven't ever really explained it to anyone but close friends, and I don't know how to even mention it to a therapist or someone similar

@Oneironott There will be better answers at some point on our evolutionary track... but that regrettably does take time.

*Hugs softly*
