I have recently had problems with any man in my life, I just don't get them. Yes I am les, but in trying to find a theripist it may not matter.
I was in such deep depression that I just started down the phone book of doctors, seeing which one could see me asap.
He seemed concerned about me and got me in that day. He understands what is going on and all the problems I have. I never thought I could trust or work with a male doctor, but it has been the best thing around!!
It is all up to where you are mentally, if you have the time to look around and how you feel.
Everyone is different, so follow your heart.
