Struggling with gender dysphoria - can't find english speaking counsellor in Bulgaria

Jamesmac

I'm 29 years old and I'm really being hit hard by gender dysphoria. Furthermore, finding a counsellor who speaks English and understands autism is proving to be a huge challenge. If anyone could help me find any resources or anything, I'd greatly appreciate it! Thank you!

    remember what you wrote earlier:

    My father keeps reminding me they won't reply straight away and they have other things going on

    If they have a full case load and do not work outside of office hours then they may just not have time for you. Don't read too much into it please.

    If you are struggling with this then I would recommend finding a therapist online (one with a track record of working with autists) and ask them to keep you clearly informed of when they will update you, organise a session etc so that this stressful element is removed.
