Things Are Going Surprisingly Well

[Rosie.]

Hey Everyone! 
 

I haven’t posted in a while, so I thought I’d check in. It’s been over a year since I came out to myself, nine months on E and I’ve been out to everyone for six months. My facial hair has been zapped to nearly nothing and my chest has grown in some meaningful way. Voice lessons are going well and every day gets a little easier. 
 

There have been a lot of hiccups, change in relationships and setbacks, but things are really starting to even out for me. I’m even passing at least some of time. But most importantly I’m living authentically and so much more comfortable. 
 

When I first came to this forum I was scared and lonely. The place I landed seemed impossibly far away. 
 

Anyway, I’m writing to share that things can get better! 
 

hoping everyone is doing as well as they can!

good to hear! Yeah, things can actually get better. There is a lot of work to do but I always believed eventually I would be better off. 

I'd never want to go through early transition again and glad it's behind me. It sounds like we both started HRT the same time and I am having similar experience.

So nice to see a good news post!  I am glad things are going well for you, @Rosie..  I remember how calming it felt to actually be myself.

Hey there Rosie,

 

It's good to hear that for the most part things are going well.

 

Best wishes, stay positive, and motivated.

Thanks for sharing your hope Rosie!💕

 

Having your face zapped clear is almost always a huge accomplishment😊

 

I love how you are in motion forward.  Please keep checking back with your progress!🌈🌈

did you do laser on your face or electroylsis?

I went the laser route. I’ve been working with a company called Milan Laser since last October. I’m pretty happy with the results, but think it will still need electrolysis for a few spots. But my face is SO much better. Those hairs were one of my biggest sources of dysphoria.
