Hi, I’m Ari!
I’m a trans woman from west Tennessee who loves technology and reading textdumps/stories about things I have never heard of! Very new to talking to people online and the queer community in general so please be gentle. :3
I was diagnosed with ADD/ADHD inattentive when I was a child. I guess when someone has one “disorders” they are more likely to have others. Transitioning medically might have worsened the effects of ADHD for me aswell, staying focused while on progesterone specifically has made me forget what I was doing/saying more often than before.
Anyone else notice changes with ADHD when on specific medications?
Oh yes, a support network. I would love to talk it out with them
All joking aside, I do have supportive friends that I talk to pretty much every day. Its just that, y’know, life loves to get in the way of things. It’s either a college paper they need to write last minute, or a family gatherings, or even just a depression nap. I don’t really know where I was going with this, but I guess all I am saying is that I can’t always be with loved ones. You are right though, they help immensely.
Oh and about partners, i’ll get back to you on that one.
Yeah, I would also like to see how others have planned now that you mention it. At the moment the only things I have thought about are, “da da da Canada” or “da da da Sweden.”
If I am being honest, at the moment I don’t have the stomach to try and act in really any form. Just looking at everything going on is overwhelming. I guess I just need to build more of a tolerance to this over time, kinda like how with working out you have to take it slow at first. Thanks Ada.
This one makes me feel kinda silly, like part of me wants to scream obviously but then i realize that is exactly what I don’t do. I’ll try to take a break tomorrow and try to not look at Lemmy like the internet addict that I am (well maybe just my subscribed communities here and there, lol)
i read that as genshin impact at first… looks like I need more caffeine :/
I was like that up until recently too. The sudden flashes of a girl I’ve never seen in the mirror then suddenly seeing my “guy self” again, that kinda stuff. Although I have never really had a beard, my mustache hair was super dark for a long time but has thinned with hrt. Its not super visible now, but still bugs the sugar honey ice tea out of me!
Can relate, I never really hated the way I looked, but I definitely did not like the way I looked. Just always felt like I was looking at a thing in the mirror, not really myself.
Those days are more or less over for me, hope you feel the same way.
Yeah, I can kinda relate. For me, playing as a girl in games was really one of the few coping mechanisms I had before I started transitioning. Just made me feel correct, y’know? Aside from that pretty much just gender bender anime, couldn’t get enough of that stuff.
Weird story, I think I started feeling it after watching a cartoon where a boy and an girl switched bodies for an episode. I would just watch that episode over and over again for a while not understanding why. (I was like maybe 10 in the deep south with no internet, makes sense i wouldn’t know what it was)
Aside from that, I guess during puberty I just kinda started feeling a strong desire to wake up a girl, not sure if anything specific set that off just kinda started happening.
Spiro fog huh? Now that I think about it I guess spironolactone had those sorts of effects on me too, I’ve just gotten used to them by now.
