    Wasted Therapy

    I keep a list I make on the bus ride to therapy. It is usually just a bulleted list. I then get to therapy and say "There are 3 things I NEED. to talk about today" then my therapist knows to come back to my list and will give me time to form words. My list is usually a at least 2 full pages...

    Philadelphia, Pa Support Group

    If you have found anything, please let me know. :) I attended a support group for transgender youth at The Attic for 14-23 year olds at 7pm on Thursdays, but it was more like a hang out space for younger teens where mental health might get a few minutes' talk along with basics like How to...
