Estrogen and Malaise

My name is Flora (she/zhey). I've been on estrogen for over two years now, and I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

I've gotten some changes, my family gender me correctly sometimes and I can pass if I wear a mask. But

I'm still unhappy

I don't feel fulfilled, I don't feel like everything's right with the world. I know I'm being idealistic, but so many other transfemme people seem to be having such positive effects. And I'm not.

What am I doing wrong?

Edit: to clarify, I'm worrying about how most transfemme individuals seem to just be generally happier on E, which doesn't seem to apply to me. Additionally, the effects I've gotten are minimal at best. There's a whole list of things E is supposed to do and I feel like I could only pick like five things off it that apply to me. I feel like my body's trying to tell me to detransition
