Last week has been quite rough due to not being able to dress up girly and embrace myself (since Im at my parents place). Also had to "discuss" with my parents, that I do in fact want to get HRT (they said, I should wait with taking it until I finish University because "you know, sometimes people change with different people around them"). However I am currently at my own place (since Saturday) and Im staying here till Thursday and it felt so good being able to dress up, wear makeup and cuddling with my Blahaj (she really missed me). Did a ton of research last week around DIY HRT and I got my plan set up (monotherapy with EEN Injections), and only have to get bloodwork done for it to start. I have absolutely zero Idea how I will explain me taking it to my parents, when they find out at one point (which will probably not take to long since I am at y place usually and only see them every few weeks). I will probably force them to sit down and give them 2h long talk about why I want to do it, how I do it, what Risk do exist and how I monitor and prevent them. I am not looking forward to this, but I do not want to / can not wait a whole year for official HRT.
