Estrogen literally made me feel happy all the time in my day to day life. I started about 4 weeks ago and my dysphoria has literally evaporated. When the best feeling I could have asked for before estrogen was feeling kinda mid with the constant chance if dysphoria ruining my evenings without any warning I Am now not only not feeling any Dysphoria at all, but also I Am waaaaaaay happier. My “normal” feeling is now on the level of my pre estrogen “I’m feeling quite good”. Its insane what the right hormones can do in as little as 3-4 weeks.

    Totally. The amount of shit I can just shrug off with a “that sucks, oh well” now that would have had me spiraling before is incredible.

    It kind of feels like I had life on hard mode up till now.

    So happy for ya! You go girl! ^^

    When I describe it I say it feels like I’m constantly a little high now xD It just feels pleasant to be in my body, even if I’m not yet fully satisfied with my looks, the hope it gave me is out of this world.

    It’s magical being able to just be content, isn’t it? I thought contentedness just meant “not bad” until I got on HRT and got to actually feel happy and content :3

    I’m very happy for you, cow!
