I’m generally just a lot happier, like sometimes I worry if I’m worrying enough about the important things hehe~
But also my appetite just like… evaporated. Today I had a little oatmeal in the morning and a healthy sandwich at lunch, maybe I’ll have a coffee later but I know I won’t really want anything else. Just six weeks ago that would have left me feeling starving!
I’m hoping for a lot more changes in my face, and booba, but what transfem isn’t a little booba greedy? ❤️ ❤️
Indeed, I’m gonna steal your booba for myself >:)
The mental fog is gone. I think HRT cured my depression in a day. I mean, I’ve still got issues, but I think it’s a tier below depression now!
I just noticed I posted the exact same question eight days ago. Lmao.
it’s a good question and there are some very sweet answers here. thanks for posting it (again)
I’m more comfortable with my body in a way I didn’t realize was possible.
I dissociate less, for better or for worse.I feel like I’m actually in my body. Before transitioning, I would often get this feeling like I was playing a third person game and was playing as someone else’s character. I haven’t felt that once since starting e.
Also, I don’t wake up “pre-sad” anymore and I feel like I don’t really need to take my antidepressants anymore.
Although I also feel sleepier now which I’m thinking is just a side effect of Spiro.
Socially: It is awkward and depressing. Some people just pretend that nothing has changed; he/hims all around from them. Most people are just openly uncomfortable with my presence either because they feel disgust or because they are walking on eggshells trying not to offend me; both feel bad but at least they aren’t openly hostile. A select few, maybe 1 or 2 in my life are happy for me and celebrate my personal journey to authenticity.
Mentally: Good. Also bad because of the social impacts.
Physically: No HRT, so minimal besides the reversible aesthetic changes I’ve made.
