    i’ve only been here for like a week so it’d be ridiculous for me to expect to already feel or be ingrained in the space… but i definitely feel the not really knowing how to proceed. both off and online social bonds and connections always just kinda happened around me, i kinda just got pulled in by proximity, so i also don’t really feel i ever got those skills of building new bonds. the reason i’m here is because i don’t really have community elsewhere in a time where i really need it. i never ever really did reddit or tumblr or anywhere else so the ecosystem as a whole is kinda foreign to me, or what i’m even expecting here. i just kinda post and hope i’m maybe helpful or not interrupting and maybe i won’t eternally exude that I’m New Here o_o;

    idk if i have a point… maybe like, not really understanding where or how to fit in in a space, even if your brain is maybe like “you should belong and feel safe in this space,” isn’t a crazy feeling? it’s an okay feeling to have?

    idk if that’s helpful or even cogent at all… feeling like a drifting rando solidarity i guess? o_o;




  • i didn’t start hrt until well into my adulthood and well after i figured out i’m trans, and it was one of the best feelings i’ve had and the mental changes were almost immediate. after starting i did have a couple weeks of what i guess i’d call “brain fog” (which i’d get each time i’d up my dose :/ ), but after that i really felt at home in my body for the first time.

    i had pretty severe problems with dissociation prior to starting hrt that are pretty much gone, and every feeling is much more vibrant and feels much more like Me. it’s not something that eliminated my anxiety or depression, but it did make them addressable for the first time, and even feeling Bad in a body that feels like my own is preferable (at least for me) to feeling Good in a body that doesn’t.

    it’s something i couldn’t recommend more and i really hope you’re able to start!
