Really starting to see changes now, a non-male shape is happening slowly, which I can conveniently hide under winter clothes for now. I haven't gained much weight, but old pants that were previously about 2 sizes too big are now quite comfortable, and stay up even without a belt, still seems loose around the waist, so I have to attribute it to fat migrating to thighs and butt (TMI I'm sure)... I'm cold as hell all the time, but previously would wear T-shirts all winter long and be perfectly fine indoors, just threw on a coat with sleeves when I went outside. Now I layer up and I'm still freezing. Therapist mentioned my voice has changed a bit, unexpected, but I certainly don't mind, based on some off the cuff comments other people have noticed too, but don't know the significance.
I'm going to attribute this one to improving mood, but an out of place compulsion to clean things comes over me sometimes, like weekly dust, vacuum, that sort of thing, not an OCD thing. I'd clean before, but only when things were really dirty, or absolutely needed to be clean (such as kitchen). I haven't really had the flood of new emotions I've heard about, but I was pretty likely to cry at movies and things before anyway, so it could just be that I don't notice, I do notice myself processing other people's emotions more thoroughly, and accurately, hard to explain.
Never going off hormones though, I'm so much happier, even if I don't always show it, I can't describe how much better off I am, it's like I was just moving along before living and not much else, and now I'm actually "here". I expect an even more drastic improvement when I stop hiding eventually.
