I'm really nervous about it, can somebody hype me up and maybe tell me what I can expect?

I don't exactly live in a trans-friendly environment, so I don't know what it'll take to get on HRT. Also I don't know if insurance will want to help pay for it either. Those are the main things I'm nervous about.

If all else fails, there’s always DIY (which is pretty easy to order and have delivered) and we can definitely help you with that here if you need.

Seconding that, we can def help you with diy dw about it, dm me about it on matrix we'll get you squared away. We're not like other trans spaces that don't really provide much material benefit and ban DIY/mutual aid discussions, we actively help with it

Planned Parenthood has a sliding fee scale and quick appointments. Hormones form the pharmacy is fairly cheap.
