Everything feels right now

I didn't start living until I transitioned. Like now I know the difference. Everything is really weird and surreal but certainly 'correct' now.

Just remember always this feeling when the times get tough. I hope they don't of course, but life is funny about providing them. Think back to how you feel right now and the problems will be knocked down to size and then you can handle them just fine. I have been on HRT for a while now and I recently forgot this advice I am giving you now. With the help of many here and imagining the euphoria of finally being free to be me I am overcoming it all. Not easy of course, but I realize now no problems can ever take this feeling from me. It did help I got upped to the highest dose recently though! 

Thanks Jessica, that's great advice. I'll be sure to remember it. Congrats on the new dose.

I completely relate to you! Starting hormones has to be the best decision of my entire life. A few months after taking them, I started to feel way more comfortable with myself and able to think much more clearly. I became more social and started to develop tons of friends (something that felt impossible from before.). HRT also allowed me to understand my sexuality. Prior to hormones, I had no attraction level to anyone of any gender which made me think that I was asexual for the longest time. This feeling scared me because my sexuality felt like it was under lock and key in a box that I could not peer into. Estrogen unlocked that box and helped me understand that I am a lesbian. Now in an amazing relationship with an amazing woman for two months now. I love the improved me!

Congrats on the new relationship Athena. Hormones have helped me connect to my sexuality as well...it's been wonderful. No relationship yet but I'm no longer asexual.

I would say yes and no. During my first attempt at transition I'm not sure I could say I felt that way at all. But things were in such an emotional whirlpool at the time it was really hard to have a straight thought about anything. That was twenty years ago, different HRT regimen and I felt very alone...that may have played a very big part in it. The drugs are very different these days of course. This time the answer is a resounding yes, it's hard to compare the two experiences they're like chalk and cheese.

I can tell, you look really happy. Love the new pic.
