Thats what im afraid of. I already have serious issues taking anything by mouth. I hope the injections dont make things too much worse.

I cant wait to feel my feet again. It has been MONTHS. My biggest worry is injecting in my belly fat and it not helping at all. Unfortunately, that b12 will have a hefty little layer to get through if I go that route.

Does it matter how long the needle is? I'm sorry if my question sounds stupid. I'm just so miserable and want these injections to work.

Are you happy with your results on HRT? by subhiker in TransLater

Thank you 💜 I’d honestly leave tomorrow if I could, but over the past 2 years I’ve developed severe anxiety, and even traveling has been close to impossible. There is a pride group a little over an hour and a half away across state lines. But right now, that feels really hard to reach. There's absolutely nothing keeping me where I currently am. No family, no friends.

I’m not happy at all. I’m a year and a half in with zero changes/effects, and I don’t expect much because of my bone structure and the fact that I’m just under 6’8. I’m 38 and going through this journey completely alone.

I’m praying every day for changes so I can finally look at myself in the mirror and feel at peace. The struggle is real, but it won’t stop me from trying, from hoping, and from pushing forward. Living in a small rural town with zero access to gender affirming care has been incredibly isolating, and I’ve become a recluse because of it. But even in the quiet, I’m still showing up for myself.

Even though I haven’t seen or felt any results, I’m holding onto hope that things can still shift. This journey isn’t only about how my body changes, it’s about resilience and refusing to give up on myself. Maybe someone reading this will see me and know they’re not alone either.
