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

absolutely. only get on it if you think you might be better off with it. it also helps to look at it as an experiment, you can try it out and the effects are reversible early on, though of course if you have more complicated desires and requirements talking to a doc would be helpful. for me it felt relatively simple and straightforward, like i agonized over the social aspects of transition but i was pretty certain i needed it. still, i saw it as something if it made me feel worse medically i was willing to stop hrt.
