Nervous

[Lostkitten]

I feel pretty silly. I have been looking forward to hormones for so long. Crying when I had to wait a month longer for me to finally start today. Which is awesome ! But all this time all my changes happened gradually. I wore a bra when I felt ready for it, my hair grew slowly, I wore make-up when I thought it felt right.. but now that is been given out of hand and beside being excited I also feel really, really nervous x___x. Because I take pills that I do not know whether they will work, how they will work and when they will work x_x.

Does anyone recognize this =/? Or has some peptalk for me ?

Eh, no experience in the hormone part buuuut....

It's only normal to get nervous about life changing decisicions.

It's like our mind seems to think out all possibilities even the dumb ones at times.

When I was making my theoretic driver exam. my mind was like "Why not make a mistake on intend now?"

Good I didn't. I think it's called

L'appel du vide, translated
"Call of the void", look it up, most examples are about death but I think it's similiar

......
I'll stop my useless rambling for now

Yep that's quite normal, I felt really nervous before starting. For me most of it was down to being afraid of the change in personality and interests and then not knowing what to do with my life. It has really shifted me but only for the better, I love who I am now more then I was ever capable of before. My advice would be to try and trust in what you know you've wanted most of the time and unless your doubts result in a logical epiphany continue to trust in your longer established desires. "hugs"

Sure, I felt quite nervous too when I started. I knew I wanted it though so I didn't let the nerves get the better of me! Anyway I am pretty sure you are certain in your decision, I mean, look at how much you have done already. Trust me, soon enough you will be getting impatient at the rate of change, not thinking back to how nice, slow and controlled growing out your hair is

Anyway congrats! HRT is awesome don't worry!
