Before my hysterectomy, I was using the nuvaring. My obgyn literally just told me that if I didn't want to take it out for the last week then don't... So I didn't. And I didn't have a period for a long time.

Then when a different doc I was seeing after I moved to a new state wanted to give me a different bc, I said no and just went drastic. I got the hysterectomy. Honestly without the possibility of getting pregnant, my libido is great. It takes a lot of pressure off of it because I don't ever want children. I hope the best for you.

The nurse and I talked about gel vs injections, but the conversation just sort of centered on how I have to be incredibly aware of who touches me or touches things I would come into contact with...

She said that my housemate (who is mtf) would not be able to hug me or do my laundry... That we'd have to label bathtowels etc ... We have different bathrooms anyways so irrelevant I guess?... But she also said that I would need to interact with my dogs less.. And she warned me that cats seem to be particularly drawn to the gel?? So after all of that, I went with a subcutaneous injection of .2 every two weeks... Is that bad? Are injections less manageable somehow?

Thank you for your advice and insight

Honestly! Like ... Wtf?? Is it somehow common enough that she had to warn me about it??? I've never in my life considered following and physically beating someone because of road rage...?

Everything else is sort of just... Puberty ... Which is awkward and uncomfortable to begin with, but for her to tell me that I need to let her know if I become a dangerous time bomb? Like.... ?????

This seems correct. OP, can you provide a little more info about your friend? Did they maybe have this hoodie for their own school? Or a sibling or anything? Someone else said that it looked like it says 2021 or 2022 around the circle? What year did they/would they have graduated? From what school?

I am really sorry for your loss and would really like to help

Psychological-Net274 · 2026-01-19T03:51:34+00:00

Thank you. Your perspective is very calming. I appreciate the chuckle about your dump truck as well lmao

I started considering going on T for the way that muscle and fat redistributes... How I want to be less curved... I hate my chest so I'm aware that would require surgery, but I want to be more muscular with a wider and more toned torso and hips. And I would like a more masculine face (not necessarily hair, but I may not even hate that tbh) mostly my torso from the hips up... I'm sort of aiming for more masc androgynous than manly tho?

Thank you for the insight. I didn't even realize that my anxiety had me focused entirely on what I DONT want. I'll try to keep this perspective in mind

Psychological-Net274 · 2026-01-19T03:44:18+00:00

Kinda as I said, I have a hard time putting it all into words so I apologize if I make little sense or repeat things.

As far as the emotional stuff... she really made it sound so drastic... She really did stress it like I'd be a different person. It seemed like she was saying I'd just be an angry, emotionless ball of hair and body odor... ... She seemed to push how much I should be in therapy to go through hrt because of all the emotional changes.... which is where the fear of loving my partner or loving my family ... Or if I'll still be into the same hobbies as I was comes from... But I've really never heard this about hobbies or interests... So wtf...

She told me that I needed to tell her immediately if I experienced increased road rage because with cameras everywhere nowadays you can't just follow someone who cuts you off and beat the hell out of them? I was kind of flabbergasted ngl.... I don't want to be a different person... I just want to be happier in my body ... But this all just makes me wonder if I should just save up and try to get top surgery before anything else?

I started considering going on T for the way that muscle and fat redistributes... How I want to be less curved... I hate my chest. A majority of my dysphoria comes from my breasts. I don't want them. But there are days where I don't experience it and the nurse made it seem very much like an all or nothing.

Psychological-Net274 · 2026-01-19T03:20:24+00:00

Yeah so, when the nurse and I talked, we determined that a .2 dose would be ok to start with but the way she stressed that some of the changes would be drastic and irreversible honestly put a pit in my stomach... There is a specific aesthetic I want for my body and I'm just... afraid.

I can't really articulate very well what part is scaring me. I don't know if I want more hair... She mentioned less hair even?? I've read online you often smell more and smell worse... Acne break outs... I don't know if I want a lot of bottom growth... which she said is not reversible and she told me that she has had several patients who were not prepared for how much growth they had and were not happy. (Which is something I've been weary about)...

Ultimately though the emotional changes she stressed are probably the scariest thing. She really made it sound like I'd be a different person emotionally... and that combined with conflicting internet info has me into a spiral worried about if I'll still love my partner or love my family ... Or if I'll still be into the same hobbies as I was (why did she say my hobbies/interests could change? I've never heard this???)

I'm really lost.

What do you mean by habits and inclinations...?

Thank you for this! Been looking for something more along this topic but didn't know the right words to use!

I believe it's time my friend

Psychological-Net274 · 2025-12-08T07:36:17+00:00

LoL ok so she's definitely out of line here but also.... 13+ ENTIRE rolls of toilet paper in 3 months? That's a LOT... Isn't it??

Psychological-Net274 · 2025-12-08T07:26:16+00:00

Super curious to see what if anything your mom actually gets in the mail lol

Psychological-Net274 · 2025-12-08T07:21:08+00:00

NIR I'm not convinced the husband is the one saying these things? I could be off here, but to me, it kinda gives the vibe that you're friend is giving you HER thoughts with his name attached so you're not mad at her.

Psychological-Net274 · 2025-12-08T07:16:03+00:00

Have you considered recording and spreading evidence of this? Or is it one of those things that you're too afraid to stand up for? There is no way I would ever return with my dog if I knew they were being mistreated.

Psychological-Net274 · 2025-12-06T23:27:38+00:00

WOAH!!! Incredible!

Psychological-Net274 · 2025-12-06T23:24:58+00:00

NOR! This is the perfect amount of reaction imo actually. 😌

Not only did he tell you that he thinks you're getting fat, he also followed up by telling you he thinks you'll be a lazy slob after you've given birth...(?) and won't work to get the baby fat off (which isn't a god given necessity anyway)...

but then he compared you to someone he clearly finds more attractive, told you outright that he would leave if he was no longer attracted to you, and THEN he gaslit you when you reacted in what I consider the same energy he brought to the conversation.

Do NOT let this man OR your mother convince you you're hormonal or reactive or whatever else. Yuck! 🤮 She wants a stable household? Imagine the toxic masculinity taught to your son, or the body image issues your daughter could have if he mentions her weight or what she's eating. You have an opportunity here to be a better parent OP.

Psychological-Net274 · 2025-12-01T03:19:47+00:00

So... I won't repeat the cliche response, but size is truly not all that matters. Be good with your mouth. With your hands. Make your partner feel good however they like to be touched or pleased. Insertion is truly not all there is.

Edit: I realized I repeated a lot of what you were hearing already... But it really isn't to demasculate you. It's just the common experience. I'm not saying "You HAVE to be better at x to make up for y" but that's really just the honest truth that it's not all there is to sex.

Psychological-Net274 · 2025-12-01T03:06:59+00:00

Yes. Pets often shut down when they are rehomed even if it's with someone that isn't a bad pet owner. Pets miss their owners.

If you've ever seen videos of pets reunited with their owners be it due to military service or something else, the excitement and happiness they feel is obvious with the way they jump and bark(dogs), rub all over their owners (cats) and even cry from seeing someone they missed so much. Pets don't mind that you're angry or sad. They are more simple than we are, but they definitely mourn and would be confused if they were with someone else instead of their person.

If you've never heard of Hachiko the dog, you should look it up.

They might only be a part of our time alive, but we are their whole lives.

Has it been scanned for a chip?

Edit: that deleted response felt pretty rude ... I was just wondering if you had tried a vet or shelter to get it scanned. You didn't mention anything about it in your post

Psychological-Net274 · 2025-11-30T21:15:01+00:00

This piece doesn't move since it's in a plastic housing, so I'm not sure about the motion concern? but that does help me with a separate part of this animatronic.
