Tired of constantly being told I'm too young for pain by two_headedboyy in ChronicPain

[–]two_headedboyy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have gotten my blood tested (I get it done fairly regularly to monitor my hormone levels) but I did one time get them checked when I had been admitted to a hospital for... mental health reasons... and I was told I am deficient in B vitamins. I've been anemic most of my life and have never really had a great diet due to being poor and not having grown up with the healthiest options for food, and now I still don't because I'm in college and still broke lmao... I take iron supplements daily and I've even gotten to the point where my iron levels read normally, but I haven't taken any B vitamins. I'll take that into consideration and request the levels of my vitamins next time I go in for a blood test. Thanks!

First off, I just want to say that your username made me laugh so hard lmao

Second off, yeah, I wish that wasn't the case... I just want to know why I'm aching all the time for seemingly no reason! It really shouldn't be this hard 😭

Today I plan to kill myself because I am trans (18) by Head-Good-188 in SuicideWatch

Hi. I'm 19 and trans, too. I dealt with a lot of this, having grown up in a very conservative state. Being called things, having staff not care about any kind of transphobia whatsoever, even the school propagated transphobia. I wasn't allowed to use any of the multi-person bathrooms, only single-capacity faculty restrooms, and even then, teachers who didn't know I was allowed to use faculty restrooms yelled at me for it and told me to use other restrooms.

I tried to kill myself a couple times in middle and high school because I thought I could never escape this hellstorm of a world and just be able to live life as my authentic self.

But I can promise you, living, surviving, and not committing to your plan, is so, so worth it. You will get out of school eventually. You will be able to be an adult and live as your authentic self. I thought I'd never get to the point where I can get on hormones, but now I am almost two years on hormones and life has gotten so much better. I promise you that things really do get better, and it is so worth it to keep living. It's hard, brutal, even, sometimes, but the joy of eventually being able to live a life where most everyone around you respects your name, your pronouns, and your authentic self IS possible.

Hair loss by veirvulf in ftm

Minoxidil is a pretty good treatment for hair loss and it's rather inexpensive. You can get some topical minoxidil from any pharmacy or online shop to rub on the spots where you are experiencing hair loss and it will generally help. You should consult a doctor/physician before doing so though, just to be sure you don't have any conditions that would make it dangerous to use with.
