    I know this seems like you’re walking into a burning building, but take it from a former repper, you are saving yourself from unimaginable horrors. This is good.

        Its so scary to leap into the unknown! That’s fair. But it is so good that you’re doing this. You are making a future version of yourself real right now, and she will be grateful

          Endo said he was gonna do blood work every couple months and gradually increase my dose. whatever you say doctor man. I’ve been not on E for 20 years so I guess I can wait a little longer. A part of me still wants to DIY but I’ll prob get caught at my next blood work :<

              I guess but then again they could also like cancel my prescription or maybe that’d be illegal I don’t know. regardless i’m too broke to diy forever
