Thank you for this. I relate so much to the "Testosterone will change everything overnight" thought. And the first few days I was excited and happy, but then my body got reaaally tired and an incredibly sadness invaded me. I wasn't able to get up off bed. Yep, testosterone won't make you instantly happy and not depressed, that's a mental state I have to get treatment for. I'm, of course, still grateful and excited for t and my journey, but is not some magical juice
Lmaoo the covid or transitioning?? thing is such a mood. I feel youuu. I was telling friends about my itchy throat and they were like 👀 is that covid 👀 My two week mark is tomorrow and i'm probably gonna record then. I was gonna ask what skincare stuff you started stocking up on? I'm not quite breaking out yet but i do see the early stages of it on my face and shoulders. I am dumb as bricks when it comes to skincare lmao And omg i feel you on the mood stuff. I did have a bit of a temper before T but it's harder to manage than usual and my moods are all over the place. I think I'm also on a lower dose since I just started and I'm hoping I can go higher when i have my next appointment in a few weeks. I'm kind of the opposite with energy. I think i'm sleeping less and it's harder for me to fall asleep and then i'm antsy and itching to move when i'm awake. And I definitely feel you on the dysphoria and feeling not dude enough. It's been a struggle in my head. I do feel euphoria on random things I notice, which is super exciting. Lmao sorry for the long comment. Highkey got excited bumping into someone on a similar timeline in a nearby area. (vancouver dude here)
