I just hit PMS for the first time after starting a new SSRI. Holy fuck are the symptoms like 10x worse than they ever have been. And considering I have PMDD, you can imagine how fucking bad it is. I feel like I'm one minor issue away from absolutely losing my mind. This shit is not fun. In fact, it's making me contemplate secluding myself for the next 4-5 days, which I can't do cause my mousy wife's birthday is in a couple days.

Thanks to reading this post, I realise now that the moodswings associated with my cycle are probably way less bad now 'cause I'm not on any SSRIs! Incredible!
Hope mousy wife's birthday isn't stressful for you
Settling into my new place and enjoying our backyard that the previous tenants turned into a little veggie field.
Put myself together a cute little gardening outfit from the clearance aisle (jeans were too short but otherwise perfect). My partner was gassing me up and even I sorta thought i looked cute despite not shaving for a few days.
Unfortunately my back is a fuck and I can't work for longer than an hour or two.
dysphoria talk
The outfit was really super cute but god I'm realizing exactly how fucking much i hate my shoulders and my upper body in general. I think it's partially because I have such messed up posture, my upper body is just so fucking wide I can't stand it.
Also the lower half of my face is too goddamn wide. I think from a distance or in the mirror it's not too bad but seeing myself in photos i feel so shitty, I think it's making me really want to try for FFS asap, but I can't afford to take time off to heal so It's not really accessible until I get sorta financially stable.
The silver lining is that my eyes and lashes are so goddamn pretty actually. When I have my bangs properly styled I really like my face from the nose up. It's the one thing keeping me going right now.
needlessly gross
taking hormones and washing them down with gatorade so i lactate blue
Very annoying that I can't shave my legs, cause it's too irritating, and also can't use IPL, because my hair is too bright for it to work. I guess I'll have to live with long pants for now, and practice body positivity.
I have an announcement to make
Fishmonger is good but not as good as Wallsocket
Retvrn to Wallsocket
Thank u for ur time
I'm glad this mega was able to stay site-pinned all week. Hopefully it can next week as well ๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ๐
GOOD mega I've been checking it all week ๐
It's interesting to see that half the site is queer, and the numbers line up because the trans mega is pretty much half the size of the site wide mega in terms of comments
Did not expect my skin to become this red and irritated from electrolysis ๐ฃ Ouch
i'll probably make a post about this but does anyone know if it's ok to take 200mg prog (suppository) every other day, the aim being an effective dose of 100mg/day? my drug intuition says it would be fine but i know hormones can be weird compared to other drugs so i wanted to get an opinion, and it's not like i have access to an endo lol
Can I microdose MTF HRT and get some alleviation of dysphoria and mental/emotional changes without getting the physical changes?
I asked the same question, and someone here told me that a lower dose of HRT doesn't mean fewer or softer effects. It means the same effects but more slowly
Ah fuck that really messes up the elaborate plans I made based on little to no research
How important is Spiro (or another anti-androgen) for HRT? I got started with just Estradiol, and I was originally planning on doing both until I saw some contradictory information, first on reddit and then on transfemscience.org. It says it's not very effective, but at the same time so many people are on it so it must do something? If anyone could help clarify, I would greatly appriciate it ๐.

cut my nipple shaving my chest earlier today and oh FUCK that hurts
i got to go to bed. i got my first HRT follow up in just a day and a half now and i have to tell them how nice estrogen makes me feel
