Me when I feel less anxious/more certain about HRT when people treat it positively instead of like I'm poisoning myself
Starting as soon as the pharmacy ships to me. Feel a little bad not telling my mom about it but if she wanted to be in the loop maybe she shouldn't have reacted so drastically¯\(°_o)/¯ plus my family doesn't tell me things all the time so not like they're some shining example
i felt like i spent my entire life suffocating and only after starting HRT did I ever learn what it was like to breathe. I absolutely cannot understate how good HRT is
