I spoke to my therapist about my dysphoria during my last session and she basically didn't believe me and chose to educate me on what dysphoria was. I had to stop her and tell her that I knew exactly what it was because I've only been suffering from it for years now and then I became closed off. It was very disheartening because no one believes me. Just because I don't present myself in a hypermasculine way doesn't mean my gender identity should be invalidated. And that session sort of spiraled me down into a low point. It's been a rough week and I've felt so lonely. I feel like I'll never meet anyone who understands me. I thought I did but me and that person broke things off. I'm just so alone.
