I'm suddenly so depressed and anxious I feel like vomiting. This isn't cool.
Might have to take some serious time out and meditate in a minute or so, before this gets worse. That or I'll go outside, I NEED the outdoors right now.
...It's so odd, though. I only ever get crippling depression when I talk about troubles, the past, etc. Normally I just wave that all off. But then I get too close to apathetic mania, maybe?
How can I tell what real happiness is, and what is "running away from what needs to be healed/ released/ whatever"?
I guess that's something I need to continue learning. Ah well. Such is life.
In any case, right now I feel like just disconnecting from the daily grind before I get any sicker. I'm tired of feeling sick.
Don't worry, I'm fine, I'll continue to be fine. Just gotta let this blow over.

Oh, also. I noticed something interesting today.
It seems that, in finally taking this big step to physically reflect my inner self, my 'ideal' presentation if you will... I've automatically moved into a state of doing that mentally and emotionally as well. It's like my authenticity to self went up 500% since this morning.
Honestly, on overwhelming days, I still struggle with self-abusive tendencies. I'll admit that; I'm not proud of it but I am consciously moving through it. However, today I caught myself slipping into that state, and stopped. "Hey, this isn't how I want to treat myself. This isn't who I want to be." And that was that.
That's a pretty notable jump there, not just with self-honesty but also in being willing and accepting of my own desire for self-improvement. I used to shoot myself down all the time, thinking myself unworthy, and that's nonsense. I want to be my best self, my most authentic self, for both my benefit and the benefit of all those who interact with me. There's no reason why I can't be; the only thing standing in my way before was unwarranted feelings of unworthiness.
But now, taking that one huge step and starting testosterone after 7 years of waiting was like saying, "I am allowed to do this. I am allowed to become the person I want to be." And again, it's not in a negative sense. I don't dislike myself at all, I don't dislike this body at all. Really, I love being biologically female, it's cool. BUT transitioning to a more masculine form feels more... accurate? It's not 'right' or 'wrong,' it's just a better fit. So accepting my right to move into that choice, and then DOING it, actually shows a lot of personal growth.
I apologize for rambling on, but I did find it pretty cool that my mindset has already shifted almost entirely, from apathetic self-sabotage to self-respecting integrity, now that this piece is in place at long last. I'm both amazed and proud, really. But I put the work in, to get to this point. So there's a lot of gratitude here, and determination to keep it solid into the future.
To think, just yesterday I was worried that I had stagnated in terms of progress. Now I think stagnation is technically impossible-- whether we notice it or not, life is always shifting and changing and moving forwards. Even so-called 'failures' or setbacks are steps ahead, which is something this trans* topic has taught me well in its own right.
But ultimately, everything moves forward, and so every so often things like this happen-- all those little steps, 'positive' and 'negative' both, suddenly coalesce into a leap. And that's really awesome to see.
