Does it get better?

Hello everyone new to the sub but not super new to being trans I’ve enjoyed how much I’ve learned about myself so far and I’m proud of the progress I’ve made. I’m about 4-6 months on E and it’s been good so far but the hardest part has been the social aspect of it, I’ve lost friends, people at work started treating me differently and I’ve had a family member tell me my life has gone downhill since getting on hormones (said person has no clue what timeframe I started so they were just looking for an excuse to blame the hormones). I plan to start college again soon so I can be on my own and work towards but I’ve gotta ask does it get better? It’s been some of the hardest challenges in my life it’s just mind boggling to me that just trying to find myself would bring so much grief I don’t get out much because of social anxiety/ minor fear of hate crimes. Im trying so hard to hang on even though sometimes it feels and may look like I’m not. Would just love to hear some positive stories and advice if you have any thank you <3
