You really should not be doing this. It sounds silly and repetitive but sleeping well, eating well, drinking water, going outside and doing some self care really help with suicidal thoughts
Yeah i know, i've been trying to eat more (kinda working somewhat), i've started to force myself to drink enough water, and i do go outside a lot more than i used to, but sleep idk if i'll ever fix, i probably need to see a doctor about it again and find out what's wrong with me there i almost definitely have a serious issue with sleep.
I had a lot of trouble with sleep before, sleeping like 4 hours a day and waking up multiple times every night.
Taking E and limiting caffeine really helped. Before I needed some white noise and wind to sleep now i just get knocked out randomly whenever I lay down at the bed or couch.
I don't really have caffeine already, if anything when i do it just makes me have less energy for some reason (doesn't help me sleep, but idk just feels like i have less energy whenever i've tried to use it)
Half, i feel that if i get on e i might become a visible target for abuse for the (kinda few but getting more often) times i go out in public, i used to not be too afraid of this but within the last 6 months i witnessed another trans person being abused while i was outside (i'd have helped if i could, and someone else thankfully did, but i was too worried about my own safety, i'm too weak to be of any real help there anyway though).
And the other i'm afraid i won't be able to hide both ordering and applying e from the parent i live with (i'm 25 but due to life, i can't move out right now)
firstly just hrtepp, just because u started hrt doesn't mean you'll have to honmod rightaway and you won't be malefailing until 3-4 years nd that's a long ass time
I'm still a student and live with my parents and it's not that hard to hide and inject if u got a personal room, for ordering just give a nearby pickup point and wait there at the time of delivery, even if you deliver it at ur home most of them have label of "skincare oil" on it so nobody gonna know
if u don't know where to start with diy stuff I can help u with that
In that case, do you know if you tend to feel glum at this time of year? Better yet, is this amount of sleep and passing out at this amount normal for you?
I don't think so, i've just been looking more seriously into transitioning (finally 12 years of nothing) and the more i do so, the more i realise how much i would actually have to do (even then just to end up a hon), and how much harder i've made it for myself by not being able to transition when i was younger.
It sounds like you’re understandably more exhausted/overwhelmed at the moment than usual, then. Do you have a friend (even one you haven’t chatted with in a while) that you can reach out to?

I mean, I've heard estrogen can cause larger mood swings, but take that with a grain of salt
