Thanks to all who gave me hugs, likes, and comments about the injection. Last night I had a very stressful talk with my best male friend(and sort of partner). Nothing serious, just heated. The fact that I was able to remain calm and no react as I usually would under stress. I am anxious this morning but only a little.

Like a few of you said it can’t take normal reactions and emotions away. It simply stops the fight/flight go away. Mostly I am calm and happy this morning. I slept 9 hours straight. Feeling good.

Looking forward to seeing my T today. So much to cover, but I’m sure we will be discussing the injection, and my father’s comments. After that I am having my dry hair treated to moisturise it. Then my parents are kindly taking me out to dinner so I have somewhere to go with my new hair. I’ve become so self-conscious of it as it gets so frizzy I look like the cat lady on The Simpson’s some times. Not the look I’m going for.

If I can get through today without being irritable and reactive I will know the injection is still working. All going well I should be discharged Friday.

Oh, I can get top up injections as it does wear off. It has been know to last anywhere between 1 day to 10 years. So, basically I have no idea if/when I will need a top up. Another tool for my mental health toolbox.
