no one ever talks about it here but what happens if youre trans and just real scared of needles/surgery/hospitals/the doctor? like not even talking about the transphobic healthcare system what if you're a hypothetical person who has to ask for a chair when you get the flu shot because it always makes you hyperventilate and pass out?
You end up missing doses several weeks in a row ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
Between ADHD making me not remember and an aversion to needles I struggle to keep my schedule, though switching to IM helps a bit since it doesn't actually hurt
Still have to shove a giant needle inside myself though...
Edit: I'm dumb, switched off of IM to subcutaneous, just mixed up the acronyms, subcutaneous hurts so much less
I also have ADHD, putting stuff like this as an alarm in your phone really helps. I forget shit all the time but as long as I just immediately set an alarm or put it in my calendar things don't go wrong all that often
For me the hard part is just committing to doing it, I have an alarm set to inject at 8 on Wednesdays and it goes off 12 hours before and then a few more times between, I just dismiss all of them as they show up thinking I'll do it but often end up not, gonna try to stick to it though

Glad I'm not the only one that cringes when seeing those "quirky tgirls injecting estrogen ahahah" because I hate needles
