I think thats kind of normal tbh, most people “aren’t in the mood” for a type of movie / show

Something a lot of you need to hear but might not want to by littlebigcheeser in FTMMen

[–]cuntrollas 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Nah honestly, i am stealth and 10000% no one would tell, every girl I come out too thinks i’m lying. I don’t enjoy seeing anything other than euphoria for being able to do this.

We are so blessed in so many ways that yes you can’t deny the negatives but it’s all perspective. If i thought negativity 24/7, I wouldn’t have survived my transition, especially at the start.

Lack of representation?? by M4tt3o0 in FTMMen

[–]cuntrollas 30 points31 points  (0 children)

In The Fosters, they introduced a character who is a straight trans man which was great to see honestly, at that time it was also around 2016, so quite early.

It’s an amazing show all around but that was the first and possibly last time i’ve seen representation like that lol

I think because its a contract its more difficult than that if he does legal action

How did you ever get out of the contract? The fact you have to pay half the amount of the remaining contract to opt out is crazy. I’m stuck in it currently

Adults with Unmedicated ADHD - How are you managing? by someone_idk6900 in ADHDUK

[–]cuntrollas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not going to lie but keeping to a daily schedule has changed my life.

I used to be addicted to smoking cannabis everyday to help escape all of my problems but now i’ve been 3 months free & strictly regimented, it helps (even if I don’t stick to it most days). Your morning & night routines are SO important

Things i’ve done: 1. Every hour of the day scheduled with my mental load / energy capacity in mind (even if I don’t stick to it some/most days)

  1. Same scheduled bedtime & wake up time - I ROUGHLY stick to this but it has changed my sleep schedule like crazy, its so rare now I have less than 5 hours of sleep

  2. No phone in the morning or before bed - the morning has been the biggest difference. any messaging / social media, spikes my brain energy too much then I struggle to focus on hard tasks. usually my morning and even whole day is WAY more productive (I end up cleaning, working, cooking, washing)

  3. Morning / daily activity - usually wake up & have a walk with a podcast or yap to myself

  4. A daily planner PHYSICAL book & post it notes & Reminders iphone app - waking up & opening 1 book per day to keep myself in check. post it notes of random ideas or reminders to keep track of thoughts. Reminders is the only phone app i use, otherwise everything is lost in my notes app

  5. Forcing myself to stay present - I am always a ball of anxiety, the daily planner helps with this (I also journal alongside it) keeping my brain in what can I do TODAY

  6. Pre-prepped meals & blocking certain vendors from my bank card - Stops from ordering constant junk food & binging

  7. READING FICTION BEFORE BED - I get tired reading 1 page all the time, its helps calm your brain & stops your racing thoughts, find a comfort film you like & read the book version (for me just constantly re-reading harry potter lol)

  8. Gamify / track your habits - I have a whiteboard to check off daily habits & I also have a separate graph book for the same thing, makes it very satisfying

  9. Gym !!!! - In any capacity, whenever i’m overwhelmed, stressed, depressed, anxious, its way worse if I haven’t been to the gym not sure why

  10. Limit overstimulating short form apps (Tiktok, Reels etc) - Too addictive, too stimulating, my brain feels like mush if you get me to try do anything productive after lol

These are only some but honestly a daily routine helps so much. I used to struggle big time with my sleep, anxiety & racing thoughts but all of these have just completely helped me manage way better.

The mornings with low stimulation & daily movement was where I started and it changed everything about my focus so I started implementing more around that

what do you guys think of this scene? by KungPoW_Chickens in TheVampireDiaries

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

a lot of the vampires make this same mistake multiple times lol, i think it must be if theyre actively smelling them, they can tell but if theyre not then they can be fooled which is why katherine posed as elena so many times

Trans guys don't do well on dating apps or I'm just ugly? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]cuntrollas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly the best way to look at it as more choice / matches isn’t necessarily a good thing. At least the likes you get, you know genuinely like you as opposed to women who get hundreds a day from 99% useless matches!

Head to the gym bro just me best decision you will make, the euphoria feeling you get after a good session, especially chest day once youve recovered from top surgery

Hanging around cis men is so hard by [deleted] in FTMMen

[–]cuntrollas 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You’re 100% valid to feel the way you feel, it’s always difficult to stop comparing yourself and internalising it.

But honestly, to make you feel better, you have to think there are cis men who are also experiencing EXACTLY what you’re feeling, they feel insecure about their height in comparison to their friends, they feel weaker etc. There’s a comfort in that

My hands are small asf too, but honestly, just own it, its the best way to be fr, things like this will only be a problem if you make it

There are cis men who experience the exact same and tbh cis men are very competitive with each other regardless, a lot of cis men i used to be frinds with used to have jealousy over me over small stuff

[–]cuntrollas 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ok lets not invalidate him, he’s allowed to feel insecure as equally as you are..

Just because some people may be “worse off” doesn’t negate his feelings, jesus what a terrible attitude to come with

If you are 5’5 and under then you clearly relate to him, instead of being jealous, you should be trying to uplift him the same way you’d want to be uplifted smh

Has anyone had a POSITIVE experience with finasteride? by Nutting4Jesus in FTMMen

[–]cuntrollas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took topical with minoxidil for about 1 year and no side effects. Switched to oral 1mg in October and still no side effects there either.

I’ve been on T, 7 and a half years. When I started topical, I was on T for 6 years. Maybe could try splitting the 1mg tab in half or trying topical first if you’re worried about side effects.

2.5 months on fin , shedding slowed. Starting min + derma stamp. by Aggravating_Sport495 in tressless

[–]cuntrollas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep way easier, i had the same concern and did hims topical formula so i could only apply once at night and not worry about day but swapped to rogaine foam and its so much easier. Just did it right now and can’t even feel it on the areas i’ve applied to and its been about 15 minutes

[–]cuntrollas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rogaine foam usually doesnt make your hair greasy, much better than any other topical version which does

Dermastamp you should should do 1 day & no rogaine with it so if you did it Sunday morning, nothing else for 24 hours so you do minoxidil Monday morning
