Are you okay?

Also, that comic reminds me of this one:

Asshole tried to hide behind a utility pole when I looked out the window. I know who you are now, dumbass.

Totally!

I’m not making any assumptions about anyone else around here, but personally I’ve had suicidal ideation in the not-too-distant past. One of the best things I heard was, and it was someone I don’t know talking about someone else I don’t know committing suicide, she said how sad it was that he was gone and that, “suicide, it might feel like the only solution at the time, but it’s such a permanent solution to a problem that is most probably a temporary problem.”

It’s really stuck with me.

I’m not terrible, but I’ve been better.

Last HRT check up didn’t go well, T is still non-existent , but E levels were down. That news hit hard, three months ago, things were starting to look good. I considered sticking things out with sublingual E a little longer, but decided injections it is despite the extra cost. Planned Parenthood is great about listening to my input and adjusting things accordingly, so I start E injections tomorrow. I’m not scared of needles, but am apprehensive about stabbing myself with one. I’m sure it will get easier with time. Here’s hoping this makes a difference.

I hope the injections work the way you want them to!

Hang in there, kiddo, you’re going the right way. It can take a while to get used to injecting yourself but you got this; it’s all for the good, right?

@anon59592690

you’re going the right way

Thanks. I’ve read plenty of positive anecdotes so I’m hopeful.

I am happy that I have a video appointment to guide me through my first shot tomorrow. I think I’ll get used to it fairly quickly. I luckily have no issues with needles and the apprehension is just over the issue of self administration. I’ll get it!

@anon59592690

I’d stab myself multiple times a day with the uptake needles if that’s what it took.

[anon59592690]

Glad you have some proper instruction first, that must be a relief.
Best thing is you found a solution and you’re going with it.

If nobody has said it yet, Well Done You!

That is a huge relief. In the end, I didn’t have much of a choice anyway. There’s a clock running down, the pills had plateaued and any more time taking them was less time finding a solution that works. Thanks for the encouragement!

@ChuckV Thanks, the encouragement helps, but ultimately, when the going got tough, I had to switch to power tools.

Thanks for the encouragement!

No problem, any time. It’s what we do!!

[Nightflyer]

Best of luck, I hope this works for you!

[anon97585346]

Thanks

As of roughly 30 min I am temporarily not okay. I NEED ESTROGEN!!! I haven’t taken any pills since last night and have been running on fumes all day, guess the tanks empty. At least my appointment’s in a couple of hours.

Also, a giant FUCK YOU to fascists. I had successfully managed to avoid getting a Twitter account up until yesterday. Their relentless transphobic attacks made it necessary so I could more easily keep track of their shit.
