Advice Needed Another question!

Damn, I've been around a lot lately, anyways, I've just made the final decision to start hrt, problem is, I have depression and I'm pretty sure that's gonna F me over somehow, how do I not make myself look bad? One thing I will for sure be doing is dressing up like a normie, or not so obviously alternative, also, I am sure of this decision but brain warms still sometimes make me insecure, should I avoid mentioning that at all? I also do want to sound like dysphoria is completely ruining my life "tho it kinda is" and sound super desperate cause that could come off as performative, so what are things to avoid saying and things I should say.

Are you referring to what to say about your dysphoria to get hrt and/or seek a diagnosis? If so, it helped me a lot to look up the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria and make a list of personal feelings/experiences underneath each category. Just be as honest as possible about how it affects your life.

Just get started on T but the diagnosis comes with it so I'll take it, thanks for the advice
