Yesterday was my first full day since starting HRT Friday. And it was mostly amazing! Chronic pain symptoms are way down. It was 90% the tension of not being myself. Being in high alert trauma mode for literally decades.
trauma triggers
But my trauma did get triggered yesterday. Went to a beach to hang out with some friends in a more conservative neighborhood. A lot of macho energy and drinking. I may have felt safer boy moding, but then again, I boymoded for decades in these kinds of situations and still had trauma triggered.
Felt the neck tension return when I walked to the bathroom with my girlfriend. It's still pretty tight but I'm feeling safe now and going to do my morning Qi Gong at the lake... back in my liberal little bubble.
Slept really well (not the norm but hopefully the new norm). I think I was letting go of a lot of things in my sleep.
And I was able to cuddle with my gf all night without the male sex drive driving me nuts in the morning!
Feeling like I'm micro dosing Molly.
Oh... And made some new trans friends yesterday too!
Life is good today. Thanks again comrades for holding space here :)
glad to hear that
Sounds great! Glad you have a good first day. Hopefully you have many many more decades of being yourself and sleeping well.
That sounds incredible, I am so happy for you :)
Never done drugs, but I swear I feel like I’m on drugs all the time.
