#hormone stuff

@yourespookysalem tagged me for a selfie and also this will be serving as my 27 month hotmone selfie for trans day of visibility!

I've been a crazy workaholic lately but everything been good so far!! Just busy busy lily

The last few weeks have been very good. Last therapist visit she recommended I take a step back from social media since a lot of my anxiety seemed to stem off of dependency. I decided to delete my twitter (both my public and private one) since it seemed to be the unhealthiest of the platforms I use, tho the only other one I use is this one. Recent events that have happened on twitter have kinda overflown into my anonymous messages here on tumblr (many of them transphobic messages sadly, I would have thought better of the people behind the harassment) so anon will be turned off for the long run. I apologize to my shy followers who wanted to reach out, but if you want to reach out in a confidential way you can always use the direct message system tumblr has that way I can’t publish messages on accident or something! Anyway, deleting Twitter has been very good for me on a couple of levels. I’ve felt happier and it’s helped me indirectly leave people I didn’t feel comfortable being friends with anymore which has also helped with my mental health. I spend more time with my pups and we’ve gone on some very nice hikes in the nature that surrounds my property and they’ve really enjoyed it and being outdoors has done some wonders for me. 

Work has been about the same. I’m working hard for an open spot that would be a promotion and I think I have a very good chance at getting it! This would grant me some VERY good benefits for me because insurance covers a lot of trans related health.

Speaking of trans related health, hormone effects are really starting to show. Emotionally I’ve been more... emotional. I rewatched parks and rec and cried during like some really dumb scenes that I normally wouldn’t have. Like not even SAD crying it was just like emotional crying. I mean I was emotional before hormones but now it’s much more. Mmmm aside from that my skin has been GLOWING, today specifically I did my super duper skin care/hair care routine and my face is glowing a lot more than it normally does. My legs are also glowing a tremendous amount. Aside from those, nothing else has changed. It’s only been about 3 weeks since I’ve started, but if these changes are already here then I guess that means my body is very much accepting the changes and that makes me extremely happy and confident.

I’m also planning a trip to Dallas here in March to visit one of my best friends so if I have any mutuals in the area hit me up! I have my best friend and a lot of buddies I met from a work trip I’ll be hanging with so the more the better! 

So I totally forgot to make a post about it but I've officially been on hormones for 2 years!!

Also because I haven't done it in a while
