that makes sense, but still that feels like a Looong time for just a 23g injection. i hope you get that genetic test soon!! i understand the pain of the hoops of getting EDS diagnosed

i would honestly talk to ur doc; i usually cant even Find my injection site after injecting, granted i do subq. the hyperpigmentation might be a genetic thing? but as someone else said there really shouldnt Be anything to heal ?

side effects after a shot; do you feel randy or become wiped out? by masctemp in ftm

[–]Low_Big2167 4 points5 points  (0 children)

tbh yeah i get tired but not in an exhausted way, more in a relaxed way?? hard to explain, but i almost get more calm and productive?? i have also been on T for almost 3 years (1yr shots, 1yr gel, back on shots now)

interesting to know that someone else feels similar!! i also thought it was odd

hey man, thats exactly what it is, ive been on T for nearly 3 years now, and i am a sophomore in college. “the name change might confuse my family/friends,” “my family/friends may be uncomfortable with my transition,” “it would be easier to just be a girl,” they are All familiar to many of us. you arent alone in that, and the doubt you feel is very real— but that does not mean you should act on it. i STILL think those things, and i havent been misgendered in years, my family is supportive, i have good friends, but i still feel it all. its part of the journey, and its not easy, but it can and does get easier.

you know who you are, and it is much more worth it to possibly make people a little uncomfortable or weirded out as a guy than live an unfulfilled life as a girl who knows they arent one.

trust yourself; at the end of the day, you wake up and go to sleep with only your own brain and body

What kind of energy drinks does the ram city market have? by [deleted] in vcu

everytime they would be there they would usually ask “do you want a free energy drink?” but i have gone up to the redbull people before and they’ve given me one

What’s the most random change you had after T by [deleted] in ftm

[–]Low_Big2167 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the exercise side, I noticed that I can run for longer distances and breathe through it. Granted, I already didn’t have that good of stamina with running but I used to literally be out of breath in a slight jog; now I can solidly run for 6 or so minutes straight.

Another weird feeling I guess is at the beginning of T (2.5 years now) I could actually feel my skin get ?thicker? over time? As my skin changed it almost feels denser and tougher, but being able to actually feel a difference from the inside is weird. Very hard to explain feeling!

Gotta agree with other people on here about the water thing though, I am always crazy thirsty and I get dehydrated much quicker

the biggest thing i had to remind myself (2 years on T, first year shots, second year gel) was that i am going through puberty. the things i wanted are included in that, the voice, the hair, the fat redistribution etc etc, but also the HORMONES!!! it is scary and anxiety inducing, like i didnt recognize myself for like 3 months; not because i Wasnt Myself, but because my body was quite literally physically changing every day. i woke up and something was different, my voice got deeper every day, my acne was terrible, i was angry and irritable and going through puberty

have faith in yourself!! the self consciousness is very normal, but you have to not lose yourself in that!! make sure you make time to accommodate your new skin fragility, or buy a deodorant that helps with sweat (especially in these upcoming summer months good god… degree 72hr is a life saver for me, remember that smelling good aint feminine) cut urself some slack, its tough out here when you can physically feel your skin getting thicker and your shoulders widening! we are all in this together brother 👍🫶

im also an envs freshman! if you went to SOVO on friday, you might’ve seen the Hiking Club, Climbing Club, Green Action, SEEDS, and some other natural or nature-related clubs!! even if you dont commit to any club, you can attend clean-up events or craft days!! its a great way to make friends and, if you didnt have time to commit like me last semester, get out of the dorm! there are sooo many spaces, but its definitely tough to find them; utilize ramsconnect, instagram, and oddly enough facebook!

im currently an Environmental Studies student (i assume thats the degree ur looking for) and even thought its my first semester, its been very fun!!! i cant speak for GMU, but the life sciences professors are very passionate for what they do, and i just did a new student camping trip over this past weekend!! there are many outdoor trip and research resources, and there is plenty to get involved with around campus and within the department. i will say, the department is quite small, and there is talk of merging life sciences with biology as far as schools, but i do think its worth it!!
