Hello wantingmore.
Even though I'm a little late to your thread, I would like to put in my 2 cents.
Yes, I think it's very common to feel sadness about a disconnect between your dreams and reality.
As far as people at work thinking you're very negative, do they also think you're very serious? At times people tell me I'm too serious or that I'm a pessimist. I like to think of myself as being a realist. When you feel your dreams are unattainable, I think it's only natural to feel upset about being stuck in a rut.
With surgery maybe it would be simpler and easier to pursue something not so noticeable like a trachea shave? Or perhaps just keeping yourself free of unwanted body hair would help to take the edge off of your frustration? Depending on how changes like these work out, you could gauge how you would like to go about pursuing more obvious and dramatic changes? I don't think feminizing your body has to be an all or nothing journey.
