Thank you to everyone who replied, figuring out options and what works can be a little stressful and confusing. I saved a few options and I'll buy it when the more important part arrives
Yeah, and they seem pretty cheap. I found one that's 29g 1/2", I guess that would work for subq, from the numbers I found. But since the needle is fixed, is drawing going to work ok?
I'm jokingly exaggerating, but am actually confused.
I went looking for info but all of the standards on hrtcafe are for the US, so some stuff is different when I look up listings, like if I search for 25g needles there are none, but I could find a 24g one, but the other measurements are too short when I convert to mm.
Then there's like a whole waste thing I gotta worry about I guess, and those different syringes are like 20x the price, except insulin ones that come with a fixed needle, which apparently are less wasteful, but then can I actually use those? Should I use those?
You don't need to feel like this. There are alternatives, you can find a way to live better, a different job that sucks less, or an alternative way. It might feel that it's not possible, but it is. Therapy makes me feel like we can do better, that it is possible to find a way to live that does not hurt that much, maybe a different job, or a completely different way to make money. I can't tell you what that would be for you, but don't give up, you can do it.
Honestly, if you have to get in debt, don't bother, it won't make that much of a difference. If you want a tech job it's better to just learn to code in some other way.
Just to not bring in only negativity, I'm actually hopeful for the future because of being organized and our plans to build a coop, and also because I'm going to try an academic career, where I can just be competent and myself.
No clue about this, being ND and having social anxiety and depression, I sort of get how this goes. I even have a bachelor's degree from a good university and cannot, for the life of me, get a job. Looking for work is also very painful to me, using Linkedin is somehow painful, there are barely any job openings for people with no experience... It's exhausting to even think about job searching. Honestly, work culture and all of that also just makes me super depressed, having to deal with people in this type of environment makes me not even want to have a job, like ever, can't deal with that. Sort of feels like all of this is made to keep people like me out, but I refuse not to be myself.
Sorry for rambling, maybe I'm being a little negative, but yeah, it's hard.
Yes, it might not take too long, but it depends on a supreme court ruling that's slowed to a crawl, so everything is completely uncertain, I'd have to write 3+ paragraphs to explain this.
Honestly you basically convinced me, I'm not getting any younger, but let me think about it for a bit. Shipping is a bit complicated, so I'd rather check that first.
Money is not too much of a problem. I don't think I could afford a vial for now, mostly because of shipping, both the cost and finding places that actually ship here. Needles and stuff is easy and cheap, I could get it no problem.
Unfortunately, since I live with my parents, I'd have to hide everything and that sounds a little stressful. But the biggest thing is that I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get a prescription later if I do DIY, I'm not sure it would happen though.
Well I don't even know how long I'll have to wait yet. Could be like 3 months, could be a year or more. If I see that it's going to take a while, I'll probably look into diy. I have a scheduled appointment soon, let's see how that goes.
Legislation changes that are being re-evaluated. It could bump my wait time by a year, it starts counting after I have appointments with both a psychiatrist and an endocrinologist. The justification is along the lines of: "the us and the uk did this, so we should also do it". Also, public health care has waiting lines, so longe waiting times.
I'm thinking about how long it will take me to get hrt. It's prob going to either be in like march or 2027. Depends on some regulation stuff, but one year wait time buffer is stupid and ridiculous
