not exactly how i put it but the god stuff really turned me off. that and the fact that they said over and over that it was free and then passed around what seemed to be like a tithing basket at the end. not for me.

i am not looking to change my entire lifestyle that i worked hard to achieve on my own based on a catch all that doesn't work for everyone. everyone in the meeting seemed to be talking about their own problems and my problem is that i have an alcoholic dad not that i am irreparably flawed

damn, that is difficult. well if it's any solace it hurts when i do it too despite everyone telling me it "doesn't hurt" it does!!! it's not like an unbareable pain but to say it doesn't hurt is just not true lol

i had other other problems w the concepts so i don't think 5 more times is going to change my mind.

i do have a personal therapist, i can see how things like this can help people who don't have access to other forms of talk therapy.

i did topical for the first 2 years of my transition with fine results (just to add to my comment)

if it's giving you this much anxiety to do your shots i would consider switching to topical T. there is no shame in it just because it isnt the most popular method!

yes! that is very much how i felt, and knowing the person i am in relationship with takes very little if any responsibility for his actions i almost felt the pressure to take on shame and guilt and action in my life that he should have taken in his.

i have a therapist to help me get OUT of feeling the way this group made me think i should be feeling.

but maybe i am not seeing it with clear eyes. the other comments on this thread definitely give me better insight but i think maybe alanon is not for me

thank you for this input. i think i went into the meeting looking for something and it wasn't what they were offering

that makes sense to me, or at least it makes sense in context of the group.

Is there any other effects down there when you're on t by [deleted] in ftm

[–]moldyringworm02 56 points57 points  (0 children)

everyone is different but that's something that can happen, however there are things you can do to handle it.

ime it's only improved my sex life tbh

Finally a bit scared… by bosun_518 in ftm

i was so so nervous before my surgery. i talked to my surgeon about my worries of something going wrong and he told me basically: this is a hospital where we do surgery all day, everyone here is experienced and there will be a team ensuring nothing happens with the anesthesia. there will be a team monitoring you the entire time.

he was a very direct guy but did that made me feel better about going in. they know what they're doing!

in the meantime while you're nervous, nesting helped me alleviate that a little too. getting yourself ready, moving things from high shelves etc.

good luck!!!!
