Depression and transition
(35 ftm) Almost 4 months on T injections now and I’ve been having a hell of a ride.
Lost my boyfriend, a lot of friends, my coworkers treat me like a crazy woman with facial hair, parents are supportive but also not taking it seriously.
At first it was magical seeing all the changes and feeling more comfortable in my body but now I have so much dysmorphia and depression. I got a therapist to start the process of getting top surgery but that’s years away.
I wished for this my whole life and since going for my dreams I’ve been met with so much disappointment and disillusionment. I see my therapist in a few weeks to talk about this but my other doctors won’t take me seriously and consider upping my antidepressants.
I guess I’m hoping to learn what others do in the face of this pain and confusion. I know I’m early in my journey but if it goes on like this I don’t think I could be strong enough to continue my transition.
