How common is it that once someone gets to the passing stage or gets treatment and starts feeling a lack of dysphoria, that other issues start being exposed? Over the past 2 years I’ve been on testosterone, my dysphoria has been severely lacking with waves instead of constant to the point I forget that it exists but other things like depression, anxiety, and possibly mania have gotten worse.

I was recently diagnosed with bipolar disorder but only 3 years ago I would’ve only been diagnosed with gender dysphoria and maybe depression. It’s like no matter what, I’ll always be plagued with some form of mental disorder or illness that prevents me from living a healthy life.
