Been having a bit more of a difficult time compared to normal. This hormone cycle has been a doozy filled with a ton of mood swings and ebbs and flows of self confidence. I'm not sure if progesterone has screwed up my period or not, but its been weird since I added it last month. I've also been feeling incredibly isolated because I don't have any close trans friends IRL to commiserate with and my I feel like I'm playing catchup with my cis friends and don't really fit in. My only other trans friend is awful at holding a convo but we don't really have much in common anyway. But I have a consultation for g.a.s and another electrolysis session this week so hopefully that'll help me deal with the louder dysphorias and not feel stuck.
Oh, and I have developed a weird sense of grief for not having had a toxic past of dating bad influences in my 20's. Thanks, Renée Rapp lol
