sorry things are rough for you right now, sending you a hug you look like you might need one. I believe theres a gel and a patch you can get other then the cream... im deffinatly shocked that its not made in a sterile environment wow and that scares the shit out of me too.
I feel the pain. I feel the pain. I should watch more of your videos. I'm really looking for some hormone debate videos. Listening to the inner dialog. I like that you are having that inner dialog out loud.
I do Sub Q, HATE shots, and I can give them to myself - it is pretty painless. My experience with mood swings is that T leveled me out - it made me less moody. I only felt super hungry for a short time and now my appetite has actually gone DOWN for several months. I am happier, less moody, and overall feel better than I ever have. I don't miss the monthly hormone swings and since I do a shot every week, I don't get hormone swings, depression, etc. right before my next shot.
T will probably change your face and you will likely gain weight (but if you eat right and workout this will be muscle weight). You may also need bigger clothes - simply because you will get broader. Doing injections on a diff schedule can alleviate some of the T level swings. Lower doses weekly can be better because your levels don't fluctuate as much. Also, if you're freaked out about IM injection, you could check out doing SQ because the needles are much smaller (and cuter!). :)
I identify as genderqueer, and I definitely feel that my dysphoria is much worse when I've got other stuff stressing me out. I suppose it's like weakening your immune system, everything just gets on top of me and it breaks out. Not fun, I sympathise. ):

@BlatantGenderFuck well its true that there is gel and patch, but theyre expensive and I dont have the money for them.
