I know that pain, that feeling of helplessness while waiting for stupid appointments and paperwork while knowing that your entire body is filled with hormones that slowly drive you into insanity. But you know what? Even if it takes as much as another year, it’s nothing in comparison to the lifetime you’ll have with the correct hormones.

I believe in you sister, you got this!

Spoken like we share a brain. “ok but I could be productive”

Tho I do feel like it might be a little better if I would get bottom surgery but that’s quite a bit in the future. For now i’m just happy that estro killed almost all of my drive.

Heh it’s actually very similar for me too:

Orgasms and food are a waste of time that just makes me feel uncomfortable and I only waste my time with it when it’s absolutely necessary. And even then, the faster it’s over, the better (even if I might enjoy it in the moment).

People keep saying it’s the best thing ever and i’m incredibly confused by that

What about patches or gels? From what i’ve heard, patches seem to be pretty reliable

Have you always been injecting it? Maybe our body just doesn’t work with it…

I’m not a medical professional but I could see a case where your body processes your injected estrogen too quickly leading to big and constant hormone fluctuations. Don’t really know too much about what that would do to your body but it would make sense for your psyche to suffer a lot from it.

Edit: if you don’t want to / can’t get pills, you could try doing 1/4 your current dosage every other day and see how that turns out (if it’s even possible with your type if syringe (DON’T REUSE THEM!!))

Oh my god. The first actual quick and cheap recipe I read on the internet. Instantly added to my cookbook, tysm!

Hmm, I’m using pills but I don’t think that the ROA would have such a big impact…

Who knows tho, I’m not a medical professional

Yeah I know but it seems to be a lot more complicated than that

That’s very reassuring, thank you <3

Oh that’d an amazing idea too. Nuts fill your stomach nicely too

Oh carrots are an amazing idea I just thought of! But thank you for the ideas c:

I should really get it out of my mind that I won’t allow myself to be above 60kg. But I’m so glad that I’m not alone in this feeling <3

Thank you <3 I’ll bring it up in my next therapy session. Probably a good idea

It does make a lot of sense that I need more energy…

Do you have any recommendations for not too unhealthy snacks? I’d go with cereal bars but they actually are quite sugary/unhealthy and hella expensive :/

Oh that explains why I hate to cut a pill into 4 that only has one breaking line

I should have probably mentioned that the stitch points and some areas of the scars are visibly bulging out a little, which is why I’m so worried…

Very interesting. I’m white enough that I get made fun of for it from my family and my body hair as pretty much as black as it gets but it just didn’t seem like it worked…

I also never got any razor burns (tho in all fairness, I only really used it for me legs and face). Maybe my unit was just defective?

If you still wanna get into it the rule of thumb is: The lighter your skin and the darker your hair, the better

I actually wanted to try an epilator too but I’m pretty scared… I’ve got 4 massive surgery scars on one of my legs and I’m scared that I’ll somehow fuck something up (surgery was like 7 years ago but the scars don’t go away)

And waxing makes me get more razor burns than a razor funnily enough
