Is anyone here transgender?

Hi all, 

I'm a transguy and I started hormones last week. I've done hours and hours of research, watched documentaries, YouTube videos on everything, asked lots and lots of transguys question after question, I felt super ready and prepared to start hormones. I got the hormones and a couple of days in, I was suddenly incredibly anxious to the point of shaking and feeling sick. It very suddenly hit me that my body is going to change and I'm really really struggling to process that. I want these changes, I've been wanting them for years, but I'm completely stuck because I'm so so scared of change and it's really impacting my wellbeing and mental health, to the point where I've only been on hormones for a week and I'm considering stopping to take a breather. My OCD has also been triggered and is making things worse. Is anyone else here transgender and what has your experience been like? Did you struggle with this or anything else? Did you autism impact your transition in anyway? Thanks!

  • Hi Cameron, I'm not transgender, but I noticed your post so hope you don't mind me replying.

    If you're really really struggling to process the fact that your body is going to change, and if you're so so scared to the point where it's impacting your mental health, it is ok to press pause, to take more time to reflect and take stock, to consider your options.
