As someone who hasn't started yet, I literally can't think about anything else. Do people genuinely avoid it?

I can't speak for everyone, but for me, once the novelty wore off, my ADHD procrastinate forever response kicked in like it does for anything monotonous. It's not that I avoid doing it or don't wanna do it, it's moreso just my executive function being fucked to the point where I keep saying "eh, I'll do it in a bit". Granted, I've been on HRT for almost 10 months now, so it's really not smth I think abt all that much anymore. It's just kinda a part of normal life at this point

Right, I also have the ADHD head weasels so I'll watch out for it.

ADHD for me too (。╯︵╰。)

Needles are horrible. The prep to get a shot going is stressful. There are serious medical risks every single time you break the skin barrier and inject stuff into yourself.

One time I did it and blood literally poured out when I pulled out the needle. Ruined a pair of pants and a shirt.

As great as transitioning is, yes, it sucks and I wish I wasn't born this way and that there was a better way. I've tried patches, oral, sublingual, buccal. None of them are perfect.

Oh yeah, had that happen once. The nausea of seeing blood pour out was worse than the pain of the needle.
