@The-red-centaur I'm so sorry to hear about your brain lesion, have you considered contacting Beyond Blue or Lifeline?

It must feel like everything is going wrong for you right now @The-red-centaur - hearing about this lesion would have been a huge shock and it will take some time to sink in for you. The positives in this situation are you have meds to help with the lesion and although they counteract your antipsychotic meds they are being increased to help you also.
The big positive you have is that you still have your transition to look forward to. The meeting with the psych came about earlier than you thought it would so the process is underway. That is a great thing for you.

You are in a very unsettled place right now @The-red-centaur. I know when that happens for me, when there is a lot going wrong all at once, I tend to get into a "why me.... ??" state of mind.
Try to take things one step at a time. Things don't always go the way we think they will, but they do go step by step, so wait for the steps and see where they lead to ....
If the first step goes differently than you thought, then all the steps after that one are on a new path. Maybe it's the second step that goes in a different direction ....
Step by step Hon. Breathe .....
