[UK] getting bridging hormones from GP. Best way to word it?

So recently I found out because of the wait times from the GIC it's possible to request bridging hormones from a GP so I wanted to ask has anyone had experience in this? If so how can I just explain to my GP that not being on hormones is making be feel worse than being on them clearly without sounding stupid?

I'm feeling kinda crappy about things because I know at this point despite being out publicly as trans that I literally am just a guy in girly clothes... Even with the name and all...
