i mean. Wow. it sure is cool. Don't actually start taking it until tomorrow or the day after though.
I mean I guess there's a lot of relief but I do have to get bloodwork done in five weeks or so which has me in a frenzy (I had an anxiety attack after the last one)

 

As for the crush thing, uh, it's kinda like you enjoy talking/interacting with that person. A lot. and you really really want to be around them.

Yeah, 'tis cool.

gulp, yeah. i got bloodwork (not related to HRT, though) a bit ago and it gave me something (anxiety attack, anxiety, panic attack, idk what it's called). It also bruised badly...

 

uhhhhhh

check and check. cool

if it bruised that means that you didn't apply pressure to the extraction point- a tip for next time, I guess. 

bloodwork is very scary. Was hard to breathe or even see after getting blood drawn. No idea why. 

Can I ask what anti-androgen you're on? That would be the second thing you take with estrogen (probably Spiro or cypro)

oops. i got it drawn again after that (way less tho) and it bruised too.

i hate it so much. i was barely breathing during it, or was doing shallow. I think I could see fine, though. But what was also bad is when I closed my eyes during the draw to try and handle it, I got very distressing images so I had to open them and of course I also saw the vials of blood afterwards and oh god.... It's just scary for some people, i guess? Like Tess and Lily.

IT DEPENDS WHEN/HOW I SEE IT 🩸😋 🫰 🤤 

actually i think it always unsettles me, except for random minor stuff I guess

but cuts and blood draws

it's not always the blood itself but what it implies and what it is

you just gotta look away. I didn't dare to peek at it when I did it 

during the blood test it was fine. It was just afterwards that I struggled, even though it wasn't painful at all it still felt terribly traumatic for some reason.

I'm curious whether you got cyproterone or spirolactone or if you got any anti-androgen at all, especially since you didn't mention any typical effects relating to spirolactone (since it's a diuretic)

i always look away

i don't think I've ever seen a needle enter my body, and I don't wish to.

i struggle both during and after. i feel weird after. i don't remember exactly since most of today i haven't been able to rhink properly/as much (it happens) but yeah.

 

i got an anti-androgen med, yes.

I won't see her again tho cuz she was

Spoiler

in the psych ward with me

so unless i look her up (i know her first and last name, I think) and hope I can find her, but it might be creepy or too late...

 

I can't even figure out what i feel anymore

also it wouldn't work as a crush since I won't see her IRL even if i text 

bjt texting would be nice

and/or vidoe calls

never done those much

I have to get bloodwork every 6-8 weeks for the foreseeable future unfortunately. Maybe I'll get used to it. Or maybe I'll finally actually look into getting anxiety medications (probably not!)

actually I don't know why I asked you're probably on Spiro cause you're US based and cypro is strangely not marketed there. I also got Spiro. turned out I didn't get a choice. 

either way, I have plans to transition over the summer. to the point where I change my gender expression. but I'm worried that's not enough time

i gotta get bloodwork too.. it'll be fine... hehe.. *weak nervous half-smile thing* u should look into anxiety meds for sure if thats issue. personally i tried like one a while back and i don't think it worked. maybe i need axneith meds ahh...ehha

yeah that's what i thought. just didn't wana give more evidence for what country I'm in 😭 

that's great! i mean.. I don't see how it wouldn't be enough time (except if you mean with HRT). You can get clothes and come out in days/weeks. Voice training is harder ofc (i haven't started 😭)

 

also make sure u don't get injections if you can't handle needles.

unless ur fine, idk.

i got a patch for the E just cuz it seemed the safest, idk.

well i mean i didn't want injections

and pill seemed to have more risks

oh I've already come out to everyone important over the summer. it's just voice training and gaining confidence, mostly.

Pills cost the least and are covered by universal healthcare in Canada, so I chose them. While they do have increased health risks (mainly involving the liver) most of them only arise if you have previous risk factors or on higher dosages. 

Patches have the unfortunate downside of not being consistent at delivering the right amounts, apparently, and are generally considered less effective and more expensive. I did have the option for patches but I chose to take pills because why not. 

Injections are some people's preferred method because you only need to do them once every week or two, and they bypass the liver entirely. Effective for mono-E therapy as well. I was not offered injections at the clinic I went to.

I mean for me it's just that I don't want people to hear my voice and immediately go into apologizing for thinking I was female or something. 

choices are hard. it can be hard to feel not indifferent too. 

oh yeah also I got given a purse tbh what do I put in it

Voice training is supposed to be very doable

see my voice is going the opposite direction though because i keep stretching it deeper 

idek tbh
