Well, as the title says, I Am curious what Dysphoria feels like for you? When/how did you realise, that certain feelings are in reality Dysphoria?

Edit: Damn, some of you really have lived through a lot. I Am very happy that I can’t really relate to quite some of the comments here, because that sounds horrible.

    This description matches my experience closely. I haven’t started HRT for several reasons, but I am curious to know whether it would address the depression that has been the background radiation of my adulthood.

      Hey, I don’t know if anyone is ever going to go back and read a thread this old. If you have and are reading this, since making the original comment I have started HRT. Moreover, it did, almost immediately, alleviate the depression and vague sense of impending dread that I had felt my entire adult life. I’m 9 months in and can confirm that this change is not temporary euphoria but appears to be a permanent improvement in my state of mind and wellbeing. If you’re in a similar place to where I was a year ago, take heed and best of luck.
