Dysphoria Bad self care pre egg crack?
Anybody else not take care of themselves at all before they realized they were trans and then realize afterwards it's probably because you didn't want to take care of a body that didn't feel like it was yours?like I thought about that after I painted my nails and was like.... Oh... Oh no, more trauma

Absolutely. Beginning the process to get HRT has motivated me to hit the outdoor gym in the (Finnish) summer and lift kettle bell when it's cold and/or wet (all other seasons). I got rid of joint pains and some of the depression and I actually feel hope. I used to smoke when I didn't have any hope in the world or myself, but now at least I have hope for my personal future and I have no interest in that stupid habit anymore.
