My Syringes came in via mail today and so I did my first injection right away. Since Im doing Monotherapy I started with 5mg to see where it leads me. This was also the first time injecting myself with anything. It was kinda scary, but next time it will be way easier.

    It’s not a thing that you find out you have and then you’re dead in two days, certainly not. But before I started taking hormones, I had suicidal ideation every day. When I got the right hormones in me, the thoughts just weren’t there any more. Just like that. And quite frankly it’s a miracle that I didn’t act on those thoughts. In that sense it is life threatening, very actively. And I don’t know why the thoughts went away or why they were there to begin with, but it’s a common experience.
