I’ve found myself interacting my gender much more through theoreticals than through actually trying anything and it’s been hellish. I need to start actually doing stuff but I’m terrified of how I’m going to be perceived.

    Yep, started estrogen half a year ago (after half a year of doing absolutely nothing), and came out to all my friends and workplace but that's pretty much all I've done

    This only held back my dysphoria till a few months ago and now I feel like shit again

      What’s with the whole “holding back my dysphoria” thing? It feels like I make progress and then if I don’t continue making progress I regress. There’s no proper stagnancy which is weird.

        Pretty sure it's just Hedonistic Treadmill phenomenon
