I'm proud of the fact that I have a much closer relationship with my parents now. I'm able to open up to them about my feelings, interests and experiences, whereas before I just kept everything to myself for some reason. Also been having a lot of fun playing board games with them lately

I got stretch marks on my butt now! 
I've gone through quite a long period with zero noticeable changes, so it's nice to see that estrogen is still doing it's thing
I just love having to wait half a year before I can get prescribed any new ADHD medication. Feels like I'm spending half my life just waiting around for shit to happen
Not feeling so good about this new therapist. He's kinda close minded and dismissive.

The anger and frustration got the better of me today, and now I have to go to the ER. I didn't actually mean to cut that deep.
I don't need this in my life, I already have enough to deal with. I really should stop cutting myself. I didn't want to stop before, but now it's gone too far.
Kinda want to leave my apartment forever. It's so lonely and boring here
This website helped me out tremendously back when I was looking to get started on diy hrt: https://diyhrt.wiki/transfem. It has a lot of good info on transfem hrt, including the two main types of oral intake (swallowing and sublingual).
Don't really know anything about using a dropper, but I remember that the homebrewer TeaHRT sells something like that: https://teahrt.com/product/sublingual-estradiol-oil-dropper-30ml-20mg-ml/. They currently only ship inside 
, however.
I might be sick with covid. Guess it was just a matter of time before it got to me as well. I had so much stuff I wanted to get done this week. Oh well...
I'll give it a try, but in the past I've just kinda ignored self-imposed limits like that. Maybe it will be different now. And I do have some new hobbies I want to try, once I get the money to buy the equipment I need. Until then I could always try going on more hikes, I guess.
Thankfully my parents are the more open-minded type of liberals. In the beginning they were quite ignorant about trans people, and didn't have the best reaction when I came out to them. But over the years they've put in the effort to gain a greater understanding and empathy for trans people. And me coming out as trans to my parents and a few close friends was the first step to learning how to open up more to others. That's also a process that's taken several years, and it's something I'm still working on. Hexbear has also been part of that process. Getting comfortable with sharing stuff about myself is how I went from just lurking to commenting and posting
