After many years I’m finally trying to move toward transitioning ,but there’s just so much to do that I don’t really know where or even how to start.

I fear that going directly into HRT without doing anything else before will just make things harder. That I should get laser or voice training first or I don’t know what else. I fear that doing it “wrong” will just make me feel awful and despite the mirror even more and push me back further into the “I don’t need it” thing.

I also have no idea of what is the current standard for HRT or what to expect and whenever I find myself thinking all of these I end up just not looking for doctors or more info.

Any help?

    The best thing you can do is something.
    Most likely once you are on HRT, you will constantly kick yourself for not starting earlier. When I was around 1 year into HRT with C cups, I could still “stealth” as needed. I really doubt you would be making things harder for yourself by starting HRT first.
    HRT is for the most part not really an active task; you’ll have plenty of time to start laser / voice training before or during HRT.
    I understand the concern with not wanting to do things wrong, and the anxiety of feeling awful if you take steps in the incorrect order. Keep in mind that HRT has the added benefit of making a lot of the mental fog clear up - easier to manage.
    Good luck
