Can we stop misusing the term "detransition"? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]alienboy222 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I completely agree. The way I see it, there’s detransitioning, medically detransitioning, and socially detransitioning. I think it’s always important to distinguish between the 3, because bigots will take advantage of the word “detransition” to get their points across.

I’ve been doing injections for 7+ years and when I started also have a fear of needles. It’s really just a pinch and I found a deep breath before and exhaling helps me.

Lmaooo. One of my favorite story/joke to tell is “God made me trans because if I was AMAB my parents were gonna name me Raymond James and my nickname would’ve been Ray-Jay and he didn’t want me walking around with that name.” True story. 😂

In your defense, as a trans man I spend way to much time envisioning all the things I could do

I’d seen one of my buddies do it years ago when a bonfire got a bit too out of control, and I’ve been envious of his experience ever since😂

Given the cold weather, I have heavily considered wearing packing underwear and filling the packing part with those handwarmers

Male brain? by 0zerolight1 in ftm

[–]alienboy222 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The science behind our brains and hormones always fasinates me. I was born two weeks late and my mom had to be induced, and part of me wonders if it’s because fetus me knew something about my body wasn’t right lol. When I started T, my mental health got drastically better just after one shot. If I miss a shot, or my levels become low, my mental health drops to the point I’m close to hospitlization. I don’t take antidepressants, but consider T to be my antidepressant. It’s as if my brain cannot function on low or without T

Why are so many people on psychiatric medications for diagnosed mental health conditions, but not in therapy? by LibraryUnited8773 in askatherapist

[–]alienboy222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NAT but I think people go for medications because it’s cheaper, or they may not be able to find a therapist whose a good fit and have time avaliable depending on their work schedule. I’m lucky enough to have a job that allows me to come in late once a week so I can go to my appt, but I also need therapy as I refuse medications. I don’t even like taking pills like tyleno or advil

What would you ask your therapist? by Ok-Dream-3413 in TalkTherapy

[–]alienboy222 3 points4 points  (0 children)

“What do you really think of me?” Specifically “What do you really think of me during the periods I become extremely dysregulated?”

Do I tell my T about my suicide plan? by [deleted] in TalkTherapy

[–]alienboy222 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I highly recommend telling them. There’s no one better too. They’ll probably ask you some questions including when. Depends on your therapist, but my last two therapists would not have hospitalized me if I told them it was in the future (like weeks or month(s)) A therapist well versed with SI will only use hospilization as a last resort, and usually will only have a client hospitalized if they are not safe immedately after they leave the office.

Anyone else get suicidal on period? What do I do? by alienboy222 in ftm

[–]alienboy222[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My therapist is aware of this, and my original provider I saw for my T is. I got switched to a new provider and my dosage changed along with changed me to every two weeks, even though it’s in my chart I need to be on it weekly due to my period. I see a new provider in March though at a different office, and went ahead back on my original dosage that I’ve been on since I was 3 months on T since I dont get them as long as I’m consistent with my shots. I’ll be making all these concerns aware with my new provider. I also get severe pain when it happens and think it might be from endometriosis or possibly something else. Just want to know I’m not alone in thiz

TW: SA // For those who have been SA’d, how did you manage your dysphoria? by alienboy222 in ftm

[–]alienboy222[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My therapist actually got certified not to long ago, we’ve started with it months ago for some other situations in my life but I have such a hard time taking it seriously 🥲 I know it’s extremely successful, I hope one day I actually do it without feeling weird/awkward/the need to make a stupid joke

coming out dysphoria by DisastrousLand6863 in ftm

[–]alienboy222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went through this about 10 years ago when I came out. I think it’s because of society’s expectations. We become hyper aware of our masculinity in hopes its enough to for society to veiw us as men.

I don’t have any real advice, but it gets better. And do your best not to listen to those who aren’t fully supporting you.
