Don't be surprised

When we start to treat our dysphoria in earnest it will worsen for quite a while. Up until now you had developed coping mechanisms which included being busy plus your usual bag of denial tricks. 

Now you are facing it head on with no barriers and the full freight train smacks you. You hadn't predicted this but then realize that it makes perfect sense that it's happening to you. 

Here is when self-doubt can make some headway which doesn't mean you have made an error. It means that the full scope of your attention is now focused on something you had learned to ignore until it hit periods of crescendo; after which you found yet another distraction. 

If you have had this happen to you, don't worry as you are far from alone.
