Hey there TX,
Congrats on moving out! I hope there wasn't any additional drama between moving out and your last update.
IME, it was very easy to become depressed early on. For most of us, especially in the early stages, transition is really dictated by "the powers that be" - ie. have to find a friendly therapist, have to have X number of sessions before you'll get a referral, have to find a friendly doctor, have to meet with them X times and take X, Y, Z tests before they'll prescribe, etc. It's tough when there's so little about the situation that you're in control of.
Appearance changes are one of the few things we can control early on. I think you're headed in the right direction with binding, packing, and wardrobe changes. As far as helping your body along in the mean time, cardio can help reduce body fat deposits and may help change your shape a bit.
Glad you're in a better position now!
