I didn't know ARFID was something that existed...
I just internalized the fact that I'm anorexic because everyone told me I am but without any psychologist/therapist ever diagnosing me with it. Thank you so much for showing me that something that describes me so perfectly exists ;-;
I know that pain, that feeling of helplessness while waiting for stupid appointments and paperwork while knowing that your entire body is filled with hormones that slowly drive you into insanity. But you know what? Even if it takes as much as another year, it's nothing in comparison to the lifetime you'll have with the correct hormones.
I believe in you sister, you got this!
Spoken like we share a brain. "ok but I could be productive"
Tho I do feel like it might be a little better if I would get bottom surgery but that's quite a bit in the future. For now i'm just happy that estro killed almost all of my drive.
Heh it's actually very similar for me too:
Orgasms and food are a waste of time that just makes me feel uncomfortable and I only waste my time with it when it's absolutely necessary. And even then, the faster it's over, the better (even if I might enjoy it in the moment).
People keep saying it's the best thing ever and i'm incredibly confused by that
What about patches or gels? From what i've heard, patches seem to be pretty reliable
Have you always been injecting it? Maybe our body just doesn't work with it...
I'm not a medical professional but I could see a case where your body processes your injected estrogen too quickly leading to big and constant hormone fluctuations. Don't really know too much about what that would do to your body but it would make sense for your psyche to suffer a lot from it.
Edit: if you don't want to / can't get pills, you could try doing 1/4 your current dosage every other day and see how that turns out (if it's even possible with your type if syringe (DON'T REUSE THEM!!))
Oh my god. The first actual quick and cheap recipe I read on the internet. Instantly added to my cookbook, tysm!
Hmm, I'm using pills but I don't think that the ROA would have such a big impact...
Who knows tho, I'm not a medical professional
Yeah I know but it seems to be a lot more complicated than that
That's very reassuring, thank you <3
Oh that'd an amazing idea too. Nuts fill your stomach nicely too
Thank you but I think I'm fine. Estro just made me feel very needy and I don't have many friends in my area that I can hug
