started HRT today! but it feels weird?
hallo, i'm 22y/o (amab) as of now i identify myself as non-binary/trans-feminine; to me gender euphoria/dysphoria has always felt weird and hard to pint point; for example i used to feel gender euphoria, some times even when just seeing a drawing of a character dressing fem
but then one day i had a lucid dream where i gave myself a chest and a more feminine face, in the moment ik i felt euphoria but after waking up i started having this new uncomfortable feeling, that happened every day multiple times a day for a period of 20-30 mins in the 10 following days
the feeling is specifically and only inside my chest, it kinda feels like smt is pressing on my chest, and it feels heavier to breath but other, and SOMETIMES especially the first few days i also felt physical pain (which doesn't really happen anymore); but other than that? nothing, nothing at all, my mind is clear, calm and i can go on with my day and activities without any problem at all
and usually "dysphoria" happens when i think about my gender, when i see some feminine bodies especially close to my body type and some times randomly (even if now it's less compared to the first few days)
i don't know if it's dysphoria but with how i started having it and the reasons it usually happens i have to think it is; ALSO after starting feeling dysphoria i don't think i've ever felt that euphoria feeling again
it took some months but i finally managed to get on HRT, many times there have been problems and delays which always annoyed and bummed me out when they happened (which makes me think even more i do want to take HRT)
today i got them, earlier in the day i took my cypro, it didn't really feel like nothing i just took it without any kind of anxiety or fear and i didn't have any physical reaction either
then some hours later i finally took my first tablet of E, again taking it was easy no problems there; i didn't have any kind of anxiety before and while taking it
but AFTER taking it i started feeling that feeling i call dysphoria, but as usualy i'm more than mentally ok so i don't know why my body is feeling this? and it has been lasting for like 40 minutes now?? which is ALSO kinda weird bc when i started having this feeling it lasted around this long but after some months it tended to last some minutes max
again mentally i'm ok, my family and friends knows my situation and they cool, i tried make up and it didn't disgust or annoy me, i like fem clothes and recently i bouth my first cute fit and went out with it multiple times without any problems heck i also shaved off body hair for the first time!
and nothing of all that gave me this feeling again so now i wonder why it's happening, which is always hard for me bc as i said mentally it doesn't affect me at all
what do you think? it it just my body getting used to it even if a first dose should do nothing yet?? is my brain just filtering out bad thoughts and the such related to my gender(which would also be weird bc i tend to be very negative about myself to a point where some times i have negative commets about myself randomly, but with this matter in particular my mind would filter the pain off??)
