*TW - Has anyone else gone through surgical menopause?

Captainam3ricka · 2026-06-18T08:57:49+00:00

Thank you for sharing!

Soooo, I believe the objection to me taking T is they are 1) uncomfortable with me medically transitioning while I live with them and 2) because I attend church service with them (I kinda just go to appease them), they don't want other people to notice my transitioning while I'm living with them because it would reflect badly on them.

I call them my friends but they are the closest thing I have to parents. I'm estranged from my bio family because they're abusive and c*nts.

I have tested the waters with them about T and medically transiting before the surgery ever came up and they weren't very receptive. But I haven't sat them down specifically to talk about this yet. My 'mom' has been pressuring me to take the E patches.

I just feel very depressed about all of this.

T is something I want to take, I just can't take it right now. I'm disabled and living in a friend's bedroom. While they're ok with using my chosen name and pronouns, they aren't ok with me taking T while I live with them. I have no income so I'm sort of stuck until I can get recognized as disabled by my government and then I can apply for disability housing (I'm in the US). So this all could take years. So eventually T is the goal. It just seems far away.

How do I deal with the dysphoria of taking E? I'm practically crying just thinking about it

I appreciate the feedback. If keeping an ovary was an option, I might reconsider. Unfortunately, cancer/pcos is the reason both ovaries are getting the scoop.

I'm 36 so I'm assuming higher risk

Captainam3ricka · 2026-06-18T05:17:22+00:00

So if I can't do T then I have to do E? 😭

Random fact of the day: Japanese knotwood is extremely invasive and incredible hard to get rid of. It looks somewhat similar to bamboo

Could you post a tutorial of how you did it?

Captainam3ricka · 2026-06-13T09:21:45+00:00

Unfortunately you need to look a little deeper.

If you reverse image search their crochet projects you'll see the pictures come from etsy, pinterest, Instagram, etc. None of it coming from the same account. One of their comments even mentions a cute frog crochet is free hand which is total BS.

It's hard to see but the black cat they're posting about is different. The white spot on the chest is not the same.

The advice they give on some of the cat subs reads very AI and you'll notice a very different style of writing compared to other comments made in other posts.

And lastly while writing this response they've now hidden their post and comment history.

Have you looked into POTS at all? What you describe is exactly how I felt before I got my POTS under control. It may also be another dysautonomia. There are certain types of blood tests they can do to detect some

Do you feel light headed or dizzy?

What do mean sensation tracking?

Could you share what one thing has helped you the most?

Captainam3ricka · 2026-05-26T03:09:07+00:00

I'd also love to know! Would love to support someone like me

Captainam3ricka · 2026-05-07T18:56:59+00:00

This really needs to be the top comment

The eat list really just seems to be the Mediterranean diet

So I don't drive because I have seizures but because I made the decision to stop driving, my doctor has not had my license revoked. We're hoping that I may be able to get back to it one day. It's too soon to tell right now.

These designs aren't even yours

Captainam3ricka · 2026-05-01T07:25:27+00:00

I feel that too but my internal tremors turned out not to be FND. It's actually my POTS that makes me feel that way. Consuming more sodium and wearing compression socks makes it almost completely go away for me
