This is quite normal. It's called purging - where you get clothingm, wear it, eventually feeling shame or guilt and getting rid of clothes the the tension comes back and you start buying again. This may be a sign you need to explore and question you gender and if you can talk to a therapist and/or purchase a wonderful book by Dara Huffman-Fox called Gender Identity - it's a workbook to see if you are a cross dresser and/or other LGBTQ area.

Best Wishes.

Unfortunately none of us can suggest to tell you to continue to transition but we can say is do what makes you happy. Don't live for anyone else but yourself. Self-love and self-care is very important.

You have given your own solution there, TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR.  I know that there in England that it takes a long time for this to really get moving through NHS so the sooner the better, emphasis on SOONER to do it.  Gender Dysphoria which is at the base of being Trans, has the characteristics of being Consistent, Persistent, and Insistent in your life and makes your life hard to live without medical help.  Get the medical help.  We care.

I've started my own process. I've got a referral on for the NHS clinic, but in the meantime, I've got an appointment for a month away to a private clinic who does appointments remotely. Basically I have to pay around £500 and then I get my dysphoria diagnosis, then they refer me to an endo who can prescribe me hormones. Again this will cost, but I've found a good Dr surgery who is willing to do shared care..I will get free prescriptions, but just need to pay the standard nhs price and free bloodtests. I get misgendered all the time and it's pushed me to do this. So I get your pain. Not everyone can afford the private clinic, but is it something you can save up for? It's so much quicker!
