(image is from earlier in the week, because I look a little rough today and I like this picture quite a lot)

That's it really.. I was a bit anxious so I ended up with a little post injection pain but that cleared up after a few hours. I'm pretty excited, hopefully this all works out well.

I added nsfw cause like.. maybe? (and also needle mention) but yeah.

I hope everyone has had (or is having) a good day <3

nice picture! also congrats on the first injection. it's probably gonna be months before i can start mine ... due to bureaucratic, technical, medical, legal, and personal reasons ... it all just takes soo long.

anyways what i'm saying is, enjoy what you got. and appreciate every moment in life.

    Thanks! I knowww, everything takes forever with trans healthcare, I'm sorry <3

    I'll try to appreciate the things I have, I think I'm doing better at that now than I have been anyway.

    Also do you mean you haven't started HRT yet? or just injections?

    i've started finasteride which is not really what most people mean by "HRT" but i can definitely confirm that it has some of the nice positive side-effects for me. it kinda blocks the effects of testosterone on the body, so it's on the receptor side; not on the testo-production side like other testo blockers.

    anyways, i've had a hang-up about starting estrogen for years because of personal and medical complications. for years i've just not felt ready yet, and yesterday i had a dream that revealed to me that i'm gonna start the full package within the next few months ... so i guess that's how it's gonna be. i just need to be patient, patience is a virtue and all that ...
