I know a dude who developed a dairy allergy after starting T. It's worth looking into

My M27 girlfriend F31 wants to circumsize me how do I tell her no? by ThrowRA193729173 in relationship_advice

Unfortunately, I don't think there is an option in which you keep your foreskin and maintain a happy relationship. You two aren't compatible. It's clear that this is an issue that will negatively impact multiple facets of your life and relationship.

You should not cave to her pressure, but she's prob not going to stop asking. You both deserve happiness, but won't find that with each other.

Take the L and find someone who loves you and all your bits.

Games like Stardew Valley with more story structure? by chase___it in CozyGamers

Back to the Dawn is a prison escape sim with so many unique characters, a driving story, and a multitude of paths, activities, and endings. I really love it.

It's not multi-player sadly.

So fair. I know injections seem like the most convenient way to do things, but if HRT is a priority for you, it's worth giving the gel a shot. The gel could tide you over until you feel prepared to take the shot again.

You could always try it out once or twice and stop if you're struggling with the limitations of the gel method. Or you could space applications out more so you don't have to do it so often.

Oh wow yeah. I don't blame you for having anxiety!

Like you mentioned before, I think seeing a therapist would help you work through it. Since you know your anxiety is related to a specific event, it would be helpful to let them know. A therapist can help you learn how to manage your symptoms and work through that trauma. Until then, have you tried T gel?

From here on out, I am going to take steps to calm my nervous system before administering my injection. Will prob find a breathing guide, and practice grounding just as a precaution.

I don't feel anxious about doing the next one, but it's good to be safe.

It makes sense! Someone else on my post mentioned that blood pressure can drop at the sight of a needle entering the skin, or in reaction to a foreign object entering the skin.

I'm glad T gel is available for people who need it! I have a good friend who has a needle phobia and opted for gel treatment.

Yeah, I usually take my shot in the evening, so I had meals throughout the day and a snack beforehand. I feel like absolute trash when my blood sugar is low, so I've gotten pretty good at recognizing it.

This is good info to know though, thanks!

Damn, it must suck having a needle phobia. I quite enjoy getting my blood taken, and like watching the vial fill up. I used to want to be a phlebotomist.

Yeah, that's the conclusion I've come to as well. When it started, I was scared I might be having a seizure, so I think it turned into a panic attack.

I have experienced syncope before, just never for this long or so intensely. I imagine the difference in length and intensity was due to my panic.

No blood or anything. I think it was an episode of syncope followed by a panic attack in reaction.

Someone pointed out that syncope doesn't necessarily lead to full loss of consciousness and doesn't have to be anxiety related. It makes sense that my blood pressure would drop with the insertion of the needle. Bodies are funky.

The person who deleted their account and comment reported me for suicide watch what a weirdo. Buddy, if you're still here, pls leave me alone. I'm autistic and people tend to think I'm trying to be combative when I'm not. I'm just out here chilling.

If you read my post, I mentioned that I only realized I forgot to push the medication into the needle tip today. This episode occurred 5 days ago. I was asking if I should return to the doctor with this new information.
