I’ve been on HRT for two years, why do I still look like a man, why do I still look like this, why is my dystphoria worse than ever. Why do I hate myself so much. Why haven’t I’ve been loved and snuggled. Im just so sad with everything honestly can’t sleep.

You're blind to the progress you've made, because it's slow, and because you've convinced yourself it isn't there. Keep going, every day there's going to be reason to struggle. Your brain's going to be an asshole, but you're still going, still struggling, still progressing. Eventually, you'll be able to quiet the shittier internal voices, and start talking to yourself like you deserve to. Love yourself, you're going through the shit right now, but you're ~still going~

Happy to see you post again, even if it's not under the best circumstances. You got this, bud.
