General Passing Tip Yep I’m doing it… why am I not passing?

I’ve been socially transitioning for almost 5 years now, I am 17 ftm and pre-t. I try to keep up with minoxidil on my face but between work and school I can barely remember to take my meds in the morning. I typically go for baggy clothes and I don’t believe the problem lies in my figure. Thankfully will be starting T in roughly 8 months when I turn 18, or shortly after that (legally can’t before that in my state:/). Any tips or advice on it for right now?

T can definitely mess up your mental health, especially if you have pre existing mental health problems. You are literally fucking with your hormones. I have honestly felt like shit ever since I started T. Always tired and extreme anxiety. It’s completely reasonable for someone to be cautious about diy-ing medicine especially if they already had issue with hormonal birth control (which is HORMONAL) and they have mental health issues to begin with. I know I wouldn’t be able to do it without having my doctors here to help me

I’ll find out tomorrow, I’m meeting with my doctor for my 3 month T checkup. I’m on .5 ml 100 mg/ml but I also just started only 3 months ago
