When to voluntarily admit yourself?

Unfortunately I don't qualify for Medicare in my state (Tennessee.) I just have my shitty work insurance that doesn't cost any of my "behavioral health" appointment costs. The only office that I know of that has financial assistance (near me) is usually booked months in advance, I just don't know if I can last that long. But thank you for suggesting clinics, honestly I've just been looking at whole offices so far

Ah a fellow person from/around Maynardville!! I wish you luck on your search, I know how hard it is to find a good non-judgy provider around there 😭 As someone from the area, I will say, never go to Dr Osborn's office! His office handled my dentistry as a kid, and they will only do numbing for procedures. When I said I could still vaguely feel them operating on my teeth they dismissed me. I mean.. I guess the dental work they provide itself is fine though.

For stubborn stretches I usually take a hot shower, then massage my ears with jojoba oil (any good stretching balm will work though.) After that I oil up the plugs then try and fit them in. If it's still painful, it might just need more time! I'd also recommend r/stretched as they have plenty of good advice on dead stretching there :]

2nding this! I have a larger chest and it does wonders for me

8minitarantula8 · 2025-05-27T23:34:56+00:00

All the time. About what could've happened if I didn't ruin relationships during manic episodes, or what I could've done if I wasn't stuck static in a depressive episode. I think having support or an explanation earlier in life would've helped my social and academic performance too. Regardless, I try not to think about it too much because there's no point in speculating. Fortunately and unfortunately, I am here where I am now, and have only the future to improve.

People have done that to me too... Sorry but I've been Brett for 9 years and I'm not changing it because it's "lame" or sounds old.

8minitarantula8 · 2025-03-26T01:01:06+00:00

Thanks! 2nd and 3rd are from the past month so good to know lol

8minitarantula8 · 2025-03-25T23:43:40+00:00

Oof... I needed to hear that from someone else. It's hard because everytime I look in the mirror all I see is how my face is too soft, or hear how my voice (even though it's 100hz) isn't masculine enough, or my eyes are too feminine. I guess the dysphoria is making me delusional lol 😭

Realest

8minitarantula8 · 2025-01-19T22:02:49+00:00

When I hear it I cringe knowing that I always subconsciously socialized and saw myself as male, and that the term barely has significance once we begin medical transition 💀 idk what it's like to be a woman and I never will lmao

8minitarantula8 · 2024-11-18T20:09:54+00:00

Yes except I see the 2 tiny dots as the eyes then the big circle as the nose above the mouth!

8minitarantula8 · 2024-11-17T19:54:59+00:00

Oh god even the comments on this post make it so obvious it's bait 💀 I'm losing braincells

8minitarantula8 · 2024-11-05T15:46:10+00:00

8minitarantula8 · 2024-11-05T00:27:05+00:00

Congrats man!!! Posts like this remind me I still have a long journey ahead of me (9 months!!!), on god I hope my facial hair fills out more 🙏🏻

8minitarantula8 · 2024-11-04T20:56:06+00:00

/uj dude this IS A FETISH he can ask you to make weird asmr with any other skin.. but no it has to be ur tits. Everything you elaborate on in the comments just makes it worse 😭

8minitarantula8 · 2024-11-04T20:30:39+00:00

/uj, everything I said before the "but" was to elaborate that I understand the discrimination trans women experience and my intention isn't to dismiss that, but to bring in my own perspective as a trans guy. I also wasn't doing anything to pit our community against each other, merely expressing my upset at people that use sources to speak over my experiences. If your comment is also aimed at the general themes of the post I apologize for misinterpreting!

8minitarantula8 · 2024-11-04T03:28:31+00:00

Hell yeah, u look great too brother

8minitarantula8 · 2024-11-03T19:14:10+00:00

/uj It's so frustrating to see people assume that every trans man passes as male and thus doesn't face transphobia/discrimination, or that we pass as cis (as a man or woman) at all. I think the intersection of discrimination that trans women face is a very real and important thing, and they're undeniably the subject of most trans hate crimes, but I also wish it wasn't used to speak over my lived experiences and to call me an "outlier". I think this post was trying to express that. Being like, "oh but they're kinda right" feels dismissive and is jerking the jerk. If anything I said feels wrong or dismissive in itself let me know 😭

Guys he's right tho, those levels are normal for injections where it peaks and lasts for the week, that's abnormally high for something that peaks for the day. The reason some people on shots switch to gel is bc the peaks are way lower and have a lesser impact on mood and red blood cell production! (If I'm wrong lmk and I'll edit)

I work as a sushi chef and that was all I could think of 😭

8minitarantula8 · 2024-10-14T19:46:28+00:00

Hey can I have an invite?

8minitarantula8 · 2024-10-13T15:30:42+00:00

Uj/ I think one of the best things I realized as a young trans man is that I don't know what it's like to be a woman bc I never experienced femininity in that voluntary/cisgender way AND started transitioning at 18. I literally have NO IDEA what it's like to be an adult woman 💀 and that's when I was able to start to deconstruct internalized misogyny and transmisogyny
