Yeah, binders shouldn’t be worn for more than 8 hours at a time and ones that are too small can be dangerous. I’m not a binder expert and there a probably some other things to be cautious of as well.

OP may need a binder if she wants to boymode depending on how much breast growth there is. When I started HRT I boymoded at work, but that didn’t last very long because my breasts became quite noticeable rather quickly. Even with a baggy hoodie they are still noticeable, so it’s not a foolproof method for people who end up with larger breasts. Just want OP to be aware of that possibility.

Taking time to just think about whatever in quiet. I do it outside if it’s nice and it’s so peaceful.

I started my transition as a minor, and unfortunately my parents were unsupportive of me getting HRT at the time, but I probably would have started it about 1 to 1.5 years in from my egg crack. I didn’t get it until about 4 years in, and that’s also when I decided to fully socially transition, because estrogen gave me a lot of confidence. I did partially social transition about 6 months after my egg crack, where I was only out to my family. I would be getting other things like hair removal and etc, but I can’t afford them at the moment.

Also the day before my first appt for HRT, I was very nervous and somewhat doubtful, but I went in and I was so happy walking out of that appointment. Now if any doubts wiggle their way into my mind, I just remember how happy estrogen makes me, and how happy I was to get it.
