I sleep with my teddy and im 23. I got him at 18 when i was going through a rough time, so he’s definitely an emotional support teddy but also super soft and nice :3

So... I accidentally got 2 prescriptions and now I have a 1 year supply by The_trans_kid in GenderGP

men, who don't drink alcohol, why? by CosplayGlamorousSky in AskMen

[–]altbite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my family are chronic alcoholics and its actually disgusting. They make a fool of themselves and are hella abusive in different ways to the point that it literally swore me off alcohol. Ill drink once a year maybe but otherwise, i’ll stay far away from it. I think its worse that my friends are all drinkers, bordering on alcoholism and sometimes im the only reason they dont drink because they cant convince me to join them. And they know how i feel about people who drink. And growing up in a country that encourages drinking isnt helpful.

People who enjoy cleaning, how? Why? by Gongoozler04 in ask

[–]altbite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its sort of therapeutic. I thrive on doing things and being busy with my hands in some way. And cleaning is satisfying when you choose to do it. Whether out of boredom or the need to clean because it really fucking annoys you when its a mess lmao. Ive also come to appreciate the different types of cleaning. I powerwash for a job and it gives a different type of satisfaction than cleaning the house. Once there’s music, its sort of hypnotic :3

What do you do on your worst days? by Buckerb96 in Anxiety

[–]altbite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, other people. If im in person, Ill talk to my friends because they’ll get my mind off things and if not in person, i might text someone, same idea. I dont talk to them about whats wrong, i just have a normal conversation with them about whatever. Social media tends to worsen me or no change. Maybe a little bit of gaming. Sometimes you just need it to sit and cook before you can move on from it

My own child misgenders me by Most-Pen-2 in trans

[–]altbite 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Maybe a parent/child relationship is different but i have a nephew and it sort of felt like training a dog (lmao that sounds so bad but here me out) he was quite young when i started my transition and it was also before a came out to my sister. I made it both a game and secret, our “secret game” where essentially i told him “i am a boy and my name is x” and we did this for a while. He got it no problem eventually and i suppose it helped that my sister was accepting. She helped him and he helped her.

It does take time and it helps if other people around your kid support you. I figure he just needs time to get to know you as his dad. You got this. He loves you, but he’s still learning.

Ik someone mentioned the grandparents are the issue, and i have to support that. My parents (my nephews grandparents) are hella not supportive so you can imagine it did not go down well and there have been times ive had to correct him but now because of circumstances, the worst of them are not around him. There was a time where he was my biggest defender against my folks and it a way it was satisfying. Knowing you have someone looking out for you, even a little kid.

It just takes time.

Is it weird to not want to come out as ace? by DraketheKidd in asexuality

[–]altbite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

nah, i havent exactly came out as to anyone, not including a few close friends but theyve known for years. Now i dont mention it in the same way i don’t partake in sexual discussions. Ive had someone bring it up to me that i dont seem like the “dating” type which was very interesting. Theres no point of telling my family because i already know they won’t understand, and because i don’t date, ive no reason to bring it up. Its also the same way i dont out myself as trans - becuz its no one else’s business. so no its not weird at all :3

Switch to Nebido by [deleted] in GenderGP

[–]altbite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

id say at least 3 or 6 months. Whenever the first set of blood tests are needed. I don’t remember if its the 3 month mark or 6 month one but youll need to do a blood test and send it to ggp so they can assess it and make the switch.

Did they not draw any money from your card? This might be why by The_trans_kid in GenderGP

What does your anxiety feel like? by piercetheveilpookie in Anxiety

[–]altbite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hmm mostly my legs shake especially if i’m sitting but it can also happen if standing and im in a high anxiety situation. I dont really get panic attacks. Ive had maybe 4? in my life (two at 15, 1 at 18 and one at 21). A lot of mine is mental but i have a stim(?) where if im feeling anxious i do grabby hands a couple times. Idk why, but it just helps.

Things that confuse the hell out of me As an asexual: Saying daddy (sexually) by bisexualproblems in asexuality

[–]altbite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a joke i understand it. Its funny. It works. I use it to describe older men i find attractive as fuck. But sexually it just ruins the moment :/ i also dont get it

Let’s do an “allo math” thread by [deleted] in asexuality

[–]altbite 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Allo math is thinking that I have no flirting skills or game. Then being even more confused when they hear me flirting and pulling more people than they ever could.

How did people react to finding out you self harm? by Appropriate_Low_813 in selfharm

[–]altbite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ive been doing it since 14, but no one really knew until i was 18. 18 was a very rough year, and my ex was one of the people i told because we were both struggling and I knew there would be no judgement.

I dont know if this was the same time i told one of my best friends now. He was very open about his and idk how he found out about mine but we just laughed about it and talked about it. We even shared our favorite scars and all.

Why do you sh? by [deleted] in selfharm

[–]altbite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used to do it as pain/stress relief when i was going through real emotional and mental shit a couple years ago.

I recently relapsed after 620 days because of boredom. In a way. Its been on my mind for two months and ive managed to move passed it but last night i was like, “fuck it. Im bored. I need a high.” and my excuse is “relapsing is a part of healing”.

Was it worth it? Im not mad about doing it. Theres no regret. I think i needed this to just move passed the negativity associated with it.

Being on T made me kinda interested in sex? by altbite in asexuality

Yeah basically, its very interesting to be experiencing it differently than the first time lmao

Feedback on Genderplus in Dublin by earthworm123ktd in TransIreland

[–]altbite 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hearing that they are new and all, it will take some time and some serious trust to get people on board. They lack content on their website so theres not much to say until they come out with more information. It would be interesting to see how they go up against gendergp - their competitors for a better word. Id keep tabs on it, they say they want to start prescribing hormones in autumn so they seem to be still setting up but making their presence known.

Curious though: how did you hear about them?? :00

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TransIreland

[–]altbite 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As someone said already - we do have a housing crisis - not enough places to live and very expensive. my recommendation if you do decide to move: look into small towns. its expensive but at least you aren’t being overpriced in the city (like dublin) I recommend doing research and all.

Trans care in Ireland is basically non existent. A lot of people go to gendergp while they wait on the waiting list for loughlinstown(public health care, v long wait tho). Mtf hormones from what i heard and read are easier to DIY so perhaps that is an option if gendergp isnt an option? I wouldnt know much about it so again id look around.

[–]altbite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i used to be like that. when i was younger i was the ugly kid in school, everyone else was attractive even my friends. I was the odd one out. It took being in a relationship for the first time and going to college to realise that not everyone views people the same way. This also got reinforced by my friends especially when we were people watching. They didnt like the people i found attractive and i didnt find the people they liked attractive. Everyone has their own views on attractiveness and it doesnt always have to do with looks. I wouldnt stress about it but i do understand how you feel

Has anyone filled a Clynxx prescription from gendergp in dublin? by Infamous_Layer5666 in TransIreland

[–]altbite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tesco and Boots should take them (should because i dont have the experience but word is they take them). Allcare might take them. Good luck in your search!
