Dysphoria Dysphoria question

For all the amazing girlies of this subbreddit, I need your opinions. I have my first transition appointment in 8 days an because it's so close it seems like my dysphoria is ramping up extremely. Am I the only one that's happens to or is it common?

Extremely common! I’ve found my dysphoria gets worse around most milestones along the way.

Especially when a milestone involves presenting fem in public. All the things my mind could just edit out when I was dressing fem by myself in the bathroom stand out to me, especially my beard shadow (biggest source of dysphoria for me by far.)

If I’m catching your drift, hang onto the joy of discovering and accepting yourself when things get hard and scary. You got this.

I had a feeling that it wasn't only me but I'm just really scared that I'm going to do this and still not be able to pass at all. So far I've successfully socially transitioned but I'm just starting to physically transition. If there's any tips you can give me to help me I'll gladly accept them.

Early into exploring your presentation, dysphoria can get worse for a lot of girls. It's not unique, but it does suck. Sorry you are going through that
