telling my pdoc was a good experience for me. he didn't find it 'burdensome' at all, and he validated it as a good method of 'coping' when things get really tough. of course, he said there are better ways of handling stress, but he just wanted to say that he could see i was trying my best up until that point.

he asked to see my cuts and stuff (he is a dr after alllol) but i said i didnt want to show him. he respected that.

telling your therapist will be a good idea, i think. as for doing the blood test thingy - just give them your other arm (this is what i always do). if your marks are on both arms, then don't stress it - they are medical professionals and will not say anything hurtful. they might ask if you are coping ok, but they won't judge you.

good luck with telling your T, and also for finding out your med results later this week.
