Re: Transgender - freaking out about hormones
Being in therapy more often isn't a possibility, and as it is now I sometimes find it hard to find stuff to talk about.
About those expectations ... I feel like HRT won't change much in my life and won't make it magically better. Also there are possible changes I'm not looking forward that I'm not super happy if they occur. And I've read through the article and I'm not a fan of it, how it is stated which changes are beneficial/wanted and which are not, and I disagree with some of it.

It's okay if you don't find some of the possible changes to be things you want (that article was written with the general patterns of what changes from HRT people find to be beneficial in mind, but we know that each person who does it will have their own, unique feelings about the different changes).
Since seeing your therapist more often isn't an option, have the two of you at least talked about a plan for how you'll adjust to being on hormones? For instance, have you come up with a plan for how you'll cope if some unwanted changes occur?

And you to whom adversity has dealt the final blow/with smiling bastards lying to you everywhere you go/turn to and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain/and like the Mary Ellen Carter rise again.

Re: Transgender - freaking out about hormones
I actually had my session today and I started talking to her about my indifferent approach about HRT, and she wasn't surprised, and just kinda waved it off. I told her a bit a bout my worries, but she said that we already talked through all the effects of HRT and as it is, I can be on HRT unless I change my mind.
