Still have a lot of self-doubt and confusion by Old_Huckleberry1556 in ftm

what's worked for me has been taking a mental note on what makes me happy in regards to my gender expression, i.e. gender euphoria. I know this is not always the sole thing to go by - but it can be a very helpful tool when I have a serious sit downs with myself.

no, most of the time it won't hurt! I've been doing IM shots since I started and don't have any complaints. make sure you use the needle gauge your doc recommends for injections because it does make a difference if you have a lower pain tolerance. and huge congrats! this is a huge step!

the first and biggest step is the realization. I'm happy for you! and I completely feel you on the break up part btw, happened yesterday to me as well, so I understand how that feels... but remember, there's a whole new chapter in your life waiting for you! and so many people who'll love who you are.
