Woe & Injection

That last post was dramatic. I even went to the extent of pointing out that I was on a faint, nearby wireless connection and that there was a snow storm outside. On the less embarrassing plus side, it wasn't as dramatic as it could've been. I mean, I very well could have written a dreary gothic poem from the depths of my sorrow-filled soul.

if pain was gold
in wealth i'd lie
my heart's so cold
"it aches" i cry
if life was air
in you i'd breathe
if life was fair
you'd never leave
down sorrow's path
my soul has crept
a lonely half
in rains i've wept

Yep. Could've been worse.

Not to slam on gothic. I <3 are="" br="" darkness="" gothic.="" gothic="" just="" know="" more="" of="" others.="" outer="" palatable="" shades="" some="" than="" you="">
This, for example, is VERY palatable:


Swoon. Ahem, moving on.

I feel MUCH better today. Giddy. Bubbleheaded. Whimsical, even. Since my injections are 14 days apart, apparently posts of sorrow and gloom should be expected on days 13 and 14.

It's like this emotional roller coaster suddenly hits, where I go from feeling like I'm at the bottom of a well whimpering about every little everything I can possibly muster up to whimper about, then sky rocket up to a joyous world of cotler pants and pumps.

I did get a refill, fortunately. Turns out that my insurance actually never covered it. It was expensive before and the exact same amount now ($67/month). What a deal! Frickin' insurance. I'm starting to understand why my usual doctor is so broken and negative about working with non-trans-lovin' insurance companies.

  2. You and you're jonesing for T on day 13-14 reminds me of the episode of Venture Bros where the pirate kept getting high off of tranq darts. I don't know why, but I hear you talking with a pirate voice, yelling about it.

    Apparently Mel, when I think of you, I turn you into a dress-up paper-doll that I mold to match whatever my mind is going off about at the time.

    Sorry.

  4. I love it when you turn mopey. On those days, it is easy to lure you into my lifestyle of bookstores, television, and laying around in pajamas. I am calling dibs on the Wednesday after next!

  5. Insurance drives me insane. The company I work for once again is considering changing and I'm thinking about dropping it because I don't ever use it! Damn then I read this! How sad!

Photo Documentation: 90 Days

I figured it was about time to do another pained and unflattering photo documentation. This cursed camera my parents gave me for Christmas. So yesterday, March 10th, marked 90 Days on Testosterone Cypionate . I also did a voice check, which I'll upload and post tomorrow. 90 Days on Testosterone Cypionate, 100mg every 2 weeks ( Click on images for larger, even less flattering versions - I'd prefer if you didn't, but the option does exist. ) Stomach (hair growth + fat redistribution): Getting some hardcore belly action where my body fat is most definitely redistributing. Ho ho ho. In addition, it's getting a tad bit hairier, which is demonstrated more clearly in the belly action shot below. Ooooh yeah, there we go. Look at therm li'l hairs! Still not enough to satisfy my cute Russian female friend, but getting there. One day. Eventually. Putt putt putt. Leg (hair growth + muscle development) A bit hairier. No difference in muscle tone that I'...

Transitioning

A few months ago I finally decided that I should see a counselor. For as long as I can remember I've been entirely physiologically disconnected from how my body started to develop throughout my teens. It's a silly and super simplified analogy, but it's like I hit puberty and suddenly a third arm started to grow from my torso and two extra eye balls grew into my head - meanwhile, my brain is mapped for two arms and two eyeballs. No matter what I do mentally to adjust to that third arm or those two extra eyeballs, my brain just won't get over feeling like it's all foreign and agonizing and doesn't belong. So, back to reality and away from my silly and simplified sci-fi analogy - with my body, it's been that way for as long as I can remember. Consciously and socially, my body is awesome. But, on some subconscious level, it has always felt very foreign. Over time, this has been taking a huge toll on my self-esteem, on my ability to have intimate relationships,...
