Hi!
I'm Kai, 44 years old and just 7 months into my Transgender transformation, although it has been a 44 year journey.
I am excited by the changes in myself, but surprised by how much dysphoria I have begun to experience, as well as fear. I have never been afraid or dysphoric in the same way that I am now, and find it to be true challenge. At any rate I have come to this site in search of information, support, and camaraderie. I look forward to meeting you all. Happy transitioning everyone!

Hi Kai, welcome to Susan's. . The dysphoria only gets worse over time it surprises us that it can get that bad at first. Your among friends now. I look forward to seeing you around the forums. Good luck and Hugs.

Thanks for letting me know Mariah! I was surprised by the jump it has made. Hopefully, going forward I will find ways to allay those feelings, or at least prepare myself for them *hugs back!*

Welcome to Susan's Kaiguy...
Dysphoria and levels of it certainly do vary over time, often it can become intense as your overall body and face changes but other parts do not... Many experience Dysphoria well before HRT... its really dependent upon the person/personality
We are a big family, I am sure you'll find some of your answers here, and apart form that its always a good conversation to have with your therapist/doctors...
Look forward to seeing you about the forums
