I barely even recognise myself in the first picture. It really is crazy how quickly the changes start to stack up!

So I just found out a group of my friends arranged a weekend away without inviting me. I thought things had been a bit off with them since I transitioned and this just confirmed it.

I've struggled to make new friends since I came out as well so that isn't helping.

Work has been difficult for me too, and basically culminated in me sitting alone barely saying a word all day, excluded from meetings I should have been part of and just generally ignored.

On top of all of that, my wife admitted she's really struggling with the changing dynamics of our marriage and I'm starting to worry we aren't going to make it.

Still trying to smile through it, but I know there's a big cry coming.

Long story short, I could really use a big bloody hug today :(

It was a big family wedding ony wife's side. It was wonderful, terrifying, affirming and incredibly difficult all at the same time.

10 months HRT, 4 months of social transition and I wouldn't change this crazy journey at all 🥰

Did anybody else struggle with transition in the work place? It's been 4 months since I turned up as myself for the first time, and things seem to be getting worse instead of better.

100lbs lost and 10 months of HRT. From depressed, lonely and going nowhere to thriving and taking every opportunity I can get.

And also reminding me I must work on evening out my tan 😅.

37 MTF, 10 months on HRT, socially transitioned for 4 months. Literally couldn't see a future for myself this time last year, and now I've never been happier.

9 months of HRT, 100lbs down and a hell of a lot happier. From sad and depressed with no idea where my life was going, to thriving and excited for the future.
